Dino Melaye, a Nigerian senator representing Kogi West District has been declared wanted by the police, according to NAN reports. In a statement released by the Kogi State Police Command, both Melaye and Mohammed Audu, son of the late former governor of the state, were declared wanted.
According to the state’s police commissioner, Ali Janga, this is a result of both Melaye and Audu providing false information to the police concerning the alleged attempt on Melaye’s life in 2017.
The police statement comes after the 2 suspects who named him as their gun supplier escaped jail. The suspects, Kabiru Seidu aka Osama and Nuhu Salisu aka Small, escaped the A Police Division in Lokoja, Kogi, around 3 AM.
The suspects were scheduled to be arraigned before the Kogi Federal High Court on Wednesday, along with Melaye and Audu who they named as sponsors.
