The federal government has filed a two-count charge against Senator Dino Melaye for allegedly giving false information to the police in relation to claim in April 17 of an attempt on his life.

The charge marked: CR/106/18 was filed on January 31 this year before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Maitama by the office of the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF).

Melaye is, in the charge, accused of falsely incriminating the Chief of Staff to Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State, Edward Onoja David, in his assassination attempt claim.

Melaye, who is the Senator representing Kogi East Senatorial District, was accused, in count one, of deliberately giving false information to the police to frame Governor Bello’s Chief of Staff as the mastermind of the assassination attempt on him at his hometown in Ayetoro-Gbede in Kogi State in April last year.

According to the charge, the police discovered the alleged falsehood in Melaye’s claim while investigating the Senator’s allegation that some individuals attempted to assassinate him.

In the second count, Melaye was accused of making false statement of facts in a phone conversation with Mr. Mohammed Abudu Abubakar, a son of the late former governor of Kogi State Abubakar Audu, with the intention of harming the reputation of David.

In the charge, Melaye’s alleged offences are said to be punishable under sections 140 and 393 of the Peal Code Law, Cap. 89, Laws of Northern Nigeria, 1963.

The first of the two counts read, “That you, Senator Dino Melaye, male, of the Senate, National Assembly, Three Arms Zone, Abuja, on or about the month of April 2017 at the Police Force Headquarters, Abuja, within the jurisdiction of this honourable court in the cause of an investigation into the alleged assassination attempt on you, sometimes in April 2017, you gave information to the police stating that one Mr. Edward Onoja David (Chief of Staff to the Governor of Kogi State) did mastermind the attack with intent to convict him for the offence which statement you either knew or believe to be false and you thereby committed an offence punishable under section 140 of the Penal Code Law, Cap. 89, Laws of Northern Nigeria, 1963.”

Melaye was said to have told Abubakar, son of a former Kogi State Governor, in a telephone conversation how he framed Edward Onoja David in the assassination attempt.

Buhari moves are always easily read.
Buhari is an un-repentant un-forgiveable vulture.
We see reasons why Bello decided to lease Kogi land to Daura cow rearer president and his fulani herdsmen.
Now they have remembered to deal blows to Dino for saying no to cow colony in Kogi State

GMBuhari:
and the recall is in its final steps



Imagine this asswipe

I have always know some mindless people , generationally daft and incurably stupid people are on this forum

I argued last year that nobody attempted Dino's life , it was a ploy / strategy

He claimed someone tried to assasinate him, but they didn't enter his compound , the truck outside his home was not even bullet ridden it was just vandalized , but the ediots i described earlier said it's Buhari's people trying to silence him

Do you remember it was about the same time that his Forged graduation certificate was being discussed , about the same time that his constituency filed for his recall


Dino Melaye staged all these things, even bought Judgement where he sent about 5 persons to jail for attempted assasination



Like i have always said , in time , the brainless people who think they know all will always eventually see how wrong they have been

Another Dino stunt busted by court



So so sad but what about the 5 wrongly accused and sent to jail? I shake my head in disgust, this country and its heartless people in the name of politicians and the corrupt judiciary! This is beyond the cry of "God help us", something must be done, fast!

Re: Assassination Attempt: FG Charges Melaye For False Information by doctokwus: 12:49pm On Feb 11, 2018
Of course there was no attempt on the life of Dino Melaye.
But is it not stu pidity for the Attorney General to leave the filing of the more grievous crime of double registration established by INEC against Governor Bello,but rather waste resources in pursuing the charge of false murder accusation against Melaye,which would easily be thrown out in court by the time the hearing starts?
Dino can easily accuse the police,AG of shoddy,partisan investigation.He asks for adjournment and leave of court for an independent investigator or a certified private investigator.Both are likely to return a different verdict and both sides are back to the status quo.
A wiser AG would just stop at dismissing the allegation by Melaye after police report,but under this most useless of all AGs,sense is scarce and stu pid actions are his everyday forte.

the security agencies can tap your calls SMS without any court order, but for them to tender it as an evidence in court, they will need approval from a court of competent jurisdiction to go to your telecommunication company to get all your call details and they will be obliged.

Who authorized the tap ? That's very rhetoric don't you think ? We have EFCC, DSS, SSS and all of that but you are asking who authorized his tap ??

The same tap that revealed that clueless conceded the defeat to Buhari , you didn't complain

The same tap revealed that Wike was congratulated by Fayose , they both hailed each other for being strongly able to rig elections, you didn't question the tap

The same tap that revealed the voice of Wike negotiating and threatening INEC officials , You didn't question the tap

Now you are asking who authorized , Will the family of Victims framed keep quiet when they know the victim was framed ? Does the Police need your permission to authorize or even inform you of any tap ?



End justifies the means even if it's illegal

Re: Assassination Attempt: FG Charges Melaye For False Information by SaroWiwa: 2:11pm On Feb 11, 2018
When was the assassination saga making headlines, why is the FG bringing charges against him now? Why wait till he criticized the presidency and his state government?

Why can't the FG be criticized if they are not doing what it is expected of them if we are practicing democracy like other countries as we claim.

The truth is that they are not going to stifle people from complaining either publicly or otherwise. The criticism should help them govern well.

In as much as I am not a fan of Dino and I don't like much of his life style, he's one of the vocal voices among others that we have in Nigeria that criticised constructively.

The FG will get it wrong if their intentions are to subdue critical voices.
