I WANT MY POLICE TRIAL IN ABUJA, NOT KOGI, SAYS ‘AJEKUNIYA FAME’ SENATOR MELAYE

“Last Monday’s stage-managed parade of crime suspects in Lokoja by the Force Public Relations Officer, Mr Jimoh Moshood, where a suspect was tutored to implicate me is just a continuation and expansion of the police attempt to have me arrested at all cost and ultimately kill me.‎”

“The public will recall that on Thursday, March 1, 2018 when the Federal Government arraigned me for allegedly given “false information” to the police in a case of failed assassination plot against me, at the FCT High Court in Maitama, Abuja, SARS operatives from Kogi State Police Command laid siege on the court premises in order to prevent me from enjoying my bail with the intention to kidnap me to Lokoja to be poisoned, although it turned out to be another failed attempt on my life’.

“It is worrisome that the Police Headquarters has got itself entangled in the Kogi political crisis and has taken side. It is however bizarre and unprecedented that the FPRO, Mr. Moshood, will have to travel to Lokoja last Monday in order to act a script written by Governor Bello. A discerning mind will ask that, how many times has Mr. Moshood travel to Sokoto, Enugu or Lagos to parade suspects on behalf of a Police Commissioner?”

The embattled federal lawmaker said he has taken up the issue “with the international community in order to report this undue intimidation and harassment.”

However, in a related development the ‘Ajekuniya fame’ politician,apart from his problems with the police, is currently  facing  a recall from the senate.The electoral commission, INEC, on Friday released a new timetable for his recall which had been stalled since last year based on a High Court ruling.

Penpushing recalled that, the Court of Appeal, recently permitted the recall to continue, just as thousands of constituents of the senator signed a petition calling for his recall
