Dino Melaye, who was arrested after he led a protest against
the Minister of Aviation, Princess Stella Oduah over purchased of two BMW
bullet-proof cars worth N255 million, has been released. He was released same
yesterday few hours after his arrest. The former member of the House of
Representatives, Thursday morning, said that the Commissioner of Police in FCT
was very civil and exhibited professionalism in the discharge of police duties.
Hear him:
“I was released about 5:30 pm; I was taken to the Department
of Criminal Investigation, then taken back to the Commissioner of Police after
keeping me for a while in the office of the Commissioner of Police
(Operations). From there, I was moved to the Assistant Commissioner of Police
(CID) and from there to the State Criminal Investigation Department; I was
later transferred to CP.
The man just said I should go. Nothing more, they didn’t ask
me anything and that was all. He pleaded with me concerning the way the Area
Commander treated me. I must confess that the CP in FCT was very civil and
nice.”
Melaye, a former member of the House of Representatives, was
picked around 12:55 pm, by a team of police men, from the FCT Police
Command,led by one ASP Odukoya Sunday, in a police Hilux jeep with registration
number: NPF 2128C.
His arrest came following his refusal to allow the police
drive away some of the protesters which they had arrested on claims of
obstruction of traffic and disturbance of public peace.
He asked the police to arrest him rather than going with the
protesters, who he noted, were innocent Nigerians expressing their
constitutional and fundamental rights.
