The police have announced the disappearance of some criminal suspects linked to embattled Senator Dino Melaye of Kogi West senatorial district.

A statement issued on Wednesday afternoon by Kogi police commissioner, Ali Janga, read: “The Nigeria Police Force, Kogi State Police Command today 28th March, 2018 received a news that six (6) suspected criminal elements namely; Kabiru Seidu a.k.a Osama, Nuhu Salisu a.k.a Small, Aliyu Isa, Adams Suleiman, Emmanuel Audu and Musa Mohammed who were under detention at the ‘A’ Division Lokoja escaped from lawful custody.

“Four of the suspects were on court remand including two that indicted Senator Dino Melaye and Mohammed Audu."

"As a result, the suspects were declared wanted and placed on Interpol watchlist alongside Mr. Melaye and Mr. Audu.

“Consequently, all the six suspects, Senator Dino Melaye and Mohammed Audu were sent for watch listing and red notice by the INTERPOL for immediate arrest anywhere we see them.

“The Command hereby appealed to the members of the public to assist the Police with useful information on the whereabouts of the suspects by reporting to the nearest Police Station.”

The commissioner added that “investigation into the unfortunate incident is ongoing, while the thirteen (13) Police Officers who were on duty when the incident occurred were defaulted and detained for interrogation.”

Recall that the suspects had last week allegedly confessed to being armed and financed by the flamboyant senator.
