apala911: The Commissioner of Police in the Federal Capital Territory, Olufemi Ogunbayo, has stated categorically that there was no assassination attempt on politician and activist, Dino Melaye. Mr. Melaye had claimed – in a story that went viral on social media – that his vehicle was attacked on Monday night in Abuja’s Central Business District.

“The car was said to have parked few meters away from his and the next thing he (Mr. Melaye) heard was a loud sound which he taught was a gunshot. Dino Melaye never said the shot was aimed at him,” the police chief said in an interview with Premium Times today.

According to the report:

The police boss narrated what Mr. Melaye reported to the police. He said the lawmaker said he was on his way home from the National Hospital, Abuja in his air conditioned car, all windows wound up, and was listening to a cool music when he noticed a range rover sport golf car drive past his.

Mr. Ogunbayo said, “The police have gone to the scene of the crime and we could not find any car parked there; no trace of shells on the ground.”

“And there is car dealer store at the area which we went to ask if they heard any gunshot and they said no they never heard any gunshot,” he added.

The police boss said further investigation showed that Mr. Melaye’s car window is not bullet proof; and if there was a gunshot it would have penetrated straight into the car and he would have been shot dead. He said the window has a sign of a crack on it, which could have been a result of the loud sound.

“If they had wanted to kill Dino, they do not need to drive and park meters away from Dino’s car before shooting, they would have just blocked his car and shoot him at the spot, so that cannot be called an attempted assassination. And how then is it possible for you to be in your car wind up enjoying the air condition and a very cool music and then you hear a gunshot?” he said.

honeric01: So assasins are suppose to block him before killing him, they don't park?

Secondly, did that mirror break itself?

And the 'sound' they are talking about came from where and what from their findings?

Maxymilliano: I never really believed Dino's Malaye angle, the picture that went viral repudiated any credibility in the story, a bullet shot at a bullet proof automobile should be like water off a duck's back but the picture proved otherwise.

dvdon: Was dino really coming 4rm d hospital or from a mistress house?

obailala: Kai .. I know Nigerians hate Mr. Dino a lot but am I the only one who thinks the police explanation is absolute trash??
