A group of anti-corruption protesters was today in Abuja confronted by armed hoodlums escorted by the police to frustrate a public protest aimed at forcing the Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah, to resign from office.

The Minister is facing a public uproar over her scandalous purchase of BMW armored cars from a cash-strapped agency in her ministry.

Dino Melaye, a former member of the House of Representatives, led the protest, but the protesters were attacked by the crowd who claimed they were there to ‘support’ the Minister.

The police arrested several protesters, including Mr. Melaye, saying he was leading an "illegal protest". He was taken in a car to the office of the Commissioner of Police office where he was taken into custody.

The police also seized vehicles belonging to the anti-corruption protesters, claiming they were obstructing traffic.

A contingent of police officers also prevented the protesters from leaving the Federal Secretariat area where they had gathered for the protest to the Aviation ministry.

Unlike the protesters, the police did not harass the armed hoodlums.[img][/img]

They should be dealt with for disturbing public peace, jobless people!

Must we protest on everything? jobless people.

Serves them well. Must they still protest even when the president has stepped in to investigate the case?. Their insistence on protest even when GEJ has issued a query gives credence to the allegation that the minister is being witch hunted by those not happy with her achievement in the aviation sector

Evy.uc:

If you want to fight for this nation don't expect Nigerians to be with you,pray for God to be with you. Nigerians are not worth fighting for. They are hypocrites.

The Police itself is Corrupt, so I won't be surprised

40 Lapdogs In-Action. I don’t blame you is lack of employment that force you to accept the Job.

Since he has been arrested, he should provide evidence of the purchase and stop making noise all over the place. Who knows how much he was paid to stage the protest. Wasn't this criminal dino once in the house of rep, what did he do for his constituency and what type of bill did he sponsor. Arrant nonsense

its quite unfortunate that you people can say the truth simply because this woman is an IBO woman. may God save us all from people that are sentimental in thinking and philosophy.

Front page tinz, thank God. Dino is nw a sadist. Those leaving a glass house should nt throw stones. Wetin d woman want use cars do. Sell d cars and pay ASUU, if u support me, like my post

Are Nigerians daft? Dino is obviously broke and looking for a government job. The cocaine snorting thug is even much worse than Aunty Stella. It's a pity that known schizophrenics like FKK and El Rufai are the ones dominating our social sphere. It is a sign of our developed Nigerians are in critical thinking.

Anywhere else in the world these charlatans will never open their mouth after committing similar atrocities while in power.

Cry my beloved Country!!

Evidence of the purchase? Are u kiddin me. Where this one come from?? Bros, go drink garrrri abeg.

The police should ensure he doesn't mingle with women while in their custody. Dino is known to have sweet tongue and can easily talk unsuspecting women to bed where he dishes a generous dose of syphilis. The fvcktard should be kept in isolation and forgotten there for at least 48 hrs.

Are you Dino?

Dino melaye is not a real activist.he is just an opportunist masquerading as a an activist.if you have seen dino melaye during one of his protest,you will be convinced that the man is a fraud.I once saw one of dinos protest at federal secretariat abuja,the number of protests were about 20,accompanying dino melaye who wore a t shirt and shorts,he made his speech with a loud speaker while his group of protesters cheered him on,behind this group of protesters was a 14 bus used to mobilize the protesters while a sports car,which I suspect belongs to dino melaye was parked nearby.dinos gang of protesters is a mix of hired youth corpers and students.the title of this thread is biase,dino melayes protests group is always rented.with the way abuja is structured,as well as taking cognisance of the economy and transport system in abuja,any group you see protesting in abuja is most likely rented.
