The
Nigerian police has released photos of its officer allegedly shot by
Senator Dino and his armed thugs during an incident that happened some
months back.
UPDATE ON POLICE OPERATIVES’ WAIT AT THE RESIDENCE OF SENATOR DINO MELAYE
Senator Dino Melaye is wanted by the Police for a case of Criminal
Conspiracy and Attempted Culpable Homicide, committed on 19th July,
2018, when Senator Dino Melaye and his armed thugs attacked Police
personnel; shot and wounded Sgt. Danjuma Saliu, attached to 37 Police
Mobile Force (PMF) on stop and search duty along Aiyetoro Gbede, Mopa
Road in Kogi State.
2. The Police operatives with a duly obtained Warrant of Arrest
deployed to arrest Senator Dino Melaye in his residence in Abuja will
not retreat until Senator Dino Melaye surrenders himself for arrest and
investigation.
3. It is on record that the Police investigators submitted a Letter
of Invitation dated 23rd July, 2018, signed by the Commissioner of
Police, Kogi State Police Command addressed to the Clerk, National
Assembly, Abuja, inviting Senator Dino Melaye to report on 26th July,
2018 at 1100Hrs at the Kogi State Police Command, CIID, Lokoja to answer
to a case of Criminal Conspiracy and Attempted Culpable Homicide
against him under investigation in the Kogi State Police Command. The
claim by the Senate President in the Media that the Police did not
submit a letter of invitation to the Clerk of the National Assembly is
therefore incorrect as can be seen on attached letter with
acknowledgment stamp of the Clerk, National Assembly, Abuja “24 JUL
2018“. Despite this, Senator Dino Melaye bluntly refused to report
himself to the Police till date.
4. For avoidance of doubt, attached to this Press Release are the
copies of pictures of the shot Police Officer, Sgt. Danjuma Saliu, the
Police Invitation Letter addressed to the Clerk of National Assembly,
Abuja and the Medical Report from the Federal Medical Centre, Lokoja,
Kogi State, confirming the admission of Sgt. Danjuma Saliu into the
Hospital for treatment of the gunshot injury he sustained from the
attack by Senator Dino Melaye and his armed thugs while on Stop and
Search duty along Aiyetoro Gbede, Mopa Road in Kogi State on 19th July,
2018.
5. The Police Officer, Sgt. Danjuma Saliu, is yet to recover from
the gunshot injury he sustained during the attack and still under
intensive medical care in the hospital.
6. The Force will ensure a thorough investigation into this matter
while making sure that the rule of law prevails and that no suspect no
matter how highly placed, involved in any criminal matter escape
justice.
