Only the conference room of the hotel was sealed-off.

Scores of armed police officers, on Tuesday sealed off a Nicon Luxury hotel conference room where an anti-corruption conference was planned.

The anti-corruption conference was planned by an organization promoted by former House of Representatives member turned anti-corruption campaigner, Dino Melaye.

The police arrived in the early hours of the day with combat officers, including anti-terrorism squads, to carry out the seal-off of only the conference room the anti-corruption campaigners rented for the conference.

It is still unclear why the conference room was sealed. The police authority responsible for Abuja, the FCT Command, denied ordering the operation.

“I am not aware of it,” the spokesperson of the command, Altine Daniel, said.

But Mr. Melaye believes the seal-off was ordered by the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar.

“The hotel management said the police officers brought an order from the IG,” he said.

The spokesperson of the Nigeria Police headquarters, Frank Mba, is yet to respond to inquiries.

“We will never give up, the conference must go on,” Mr. Melaye said.

“We already know that when you fight corruption, corruption fights back.”

The former lawmaker has, recently, had a recurring battle with the police over anti-corruption protests including that organised to demand the removal and prosecution of Aviation Minister, Stella Oduah, over the N255 million armoured car scandal. Mr. Melaye was briefly arrested, then released, during the protest.

gratieao: Melaye himself is a corrupt politician, they are all birds of the same feather. he is a drowned man, we are not fool, he is doing this because he himself is not done with the looting of Nigeria, he is a pretender, he wants to come back in 2015 Melaye is not sincere about his anti corruption crusade, he is just shedding a crocodile tears. He is a shameless man, he was calling for the probe of oduah while he himself was supposed to be probed .
I don't blame him and his co clowns

Controversy: today Dino is not different from the one in house of reps (2007-2011), or the one during school days- he is vocal; you dare not take such stand if you are not smart or clean. if he is as dirty as you are painting him to be; why are the people he is digging up their filth protecting his dirt? shut him up by showing us his dirt. you cannot fight what sustains you. can president Jonathan even pretend like this young man in the voice against corruption? he CAN’T!
