The controversial lawmaker representing Kogi West Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Dino Melaye, has alleged that there is a plan by the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, to arrest him and inject him to death.

He alleged that police operatives meant to carry out the IGP’s order had already been deployed.

Tweeting at his personal handle, @dinomelaye , he said: “There is a plan by the IGP to arrest me today (Tuesday) and inject me to death. Men deployed already. The CP in Kogi State and others removed. Nigerians, watch out,”

But the spokesperson for the Nigeria Police Force, Jimoh Moshood, described Melaye’s statement as mischievous, laughable and capable of misleading the public.

According to him there were no plans by the police to arrest the senator, but that if he had committed a crime, he should come out of hiding and confess.

“There’s no such order by the IGP.”
