Dino Melaye’s attempted escape from police custody took a very serious turn on Tuesday night as the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris ordered an investigation into the escape and re arrest of the controversial Kogi senator.
The Public Relations Officer of the Nigerian Police Force, Jimoh Moshood disclosed the IGP’s order in a statement on Tuesday evening. He said “the Inspector General of Police has directed a thorough investigation into the circumstances leading to the rescue and escape of Senator Dino Melaye from lawful custody.”
According to Vanguard, Senator Melaye escaped from lawful custody when a gang of thugs in Two Toyota Hilux Vehicles blocked the Police vehicle conveying Senator Dino Melaye around Area 1 Round About, Abuja and in the process the Senator jumped out of the Police vehicle through the window and was rescued from the police operatives by the thugs.
However, the swift detectives of the force traced the senator to Zankli Hospital in Abuja where he was re-arrested.
