Press Release
April 24, 2018.

Sen Melaye personally drove himself with his lawyer to SARS office, not arrested by any special IGP operatives.

We wish is to notify Nigerians that the news going round that Sen Melaye was arrested by by special operatives of IGP is fake, unfounded, and untrue.




Its imperative to clearly state that despite the brazen and illegal display of force by the over 150 mobile police men who laid siege on Melaye’s home in Maitama, Abuja, throughout yesterday and today, we wish to state clearly that they were unable to arrest him for the fact that they couldn’t produce any warrant of arrest as by required by law.

Sen Dino Melaye is a law abiding Nigerian and currently a serving Senator of the Federal Republic who will always be guided by the constitution of the land..

We wish to strongly state that distinguished Sen Dino Melaye upon the arrival of his lawyer, Chief Mike Ozakhome, SAN, personally drove his car with his lawyer to force headquarter.

We therefore urge the public to disregard the unsubstantiated facts and news about Melaye’s arrest as reported by Channels TV and other new medium.

We equally appeal to all Sen Melaye’s supporters and political family to remain law abiding, as the battle to defeat the current political persecution orchestrated by those who feel threatened by Melaye’s rising political profile is sacrosanct.

We sincerely thank you all for show of love and unflinching supports, we assure you that despite the ongoing intimidation and harassment, Sen Melaye remained undistracted, unshaken and uncowed.
