The police operatives had reportedly told the embattled lawmaker that they were taking him to court in the metropolis of the nation’s capital but suddenly made a detour to move him to Kogi state. According to reports, Melaye refused and subsequently jumped out of the moving vehicle.
It would be recalled that it was in the Kogi High Court that the police from the outset wanted to arraign Melaye but he objected on safety grounds.

Melaye, before this allegation of conspiracy and possession of illegal firearms preferred against him, has been in a running political battle with Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state.
It is against this backdrop that he apparently preferred his arrest and arraignment in Abuja than for the police to arrest, detain or arraign him in Kogi state.
