I WILL REMAIN IN HIDEOUT TO AVOID POLICE ARREST, SAYS MELAYE

‘The Bible records Prophet Elijah to be one of the strongest prophets that lived, but he went to Mount Carmel to hide when King Ahab sought him to kill him because of the way he boldly declared the truth’, Melaye stated.

Penpushing further reports that, the wanted federal lawmaker, rather debunk or admit the allegations made by the police, simply said in his tweet that he is being wise and not scared by hiding, adding that, “there is a difference with being scared and being wise’.

The Senator is seeking re-election in Kogi on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and already facing two different trials by the police for alleged attempted suicide and allegedly arming criminals.

 Penpushing also reports that, Melaye is already facing two different trials by the police for alleged attempted suicide and allegedly arming criminals, but was granted bail by the court in both instances, while the siege in his home marks at least the fourth attempt to arrest him.

However, the Force Headquarters  spokesperson, Jimoh Moshood, while speaking on the reason for laying siege to Melaye’s residence, said the lawmaker, alongside his ‘armed thugs’, shot one Danjuma Saliu, a Sergeant, in July 2018
