Senator representing Bayelsa East district, Ben Bruce, has urged the police to invite a third party to ascertain the true state of Senator Dino an objective third party to examine the suspect.


Melaye was arrested last FridMelaye’s health instead of assuming that the senator was faking being sick.

According to Bruce, the police were being a judge in their own cause by simply alleging that the Kogi West senator was faking his ailment, instead of callingay after he willingly surrendered to police after an 8-day siege on his residence in Abuja.

The Senator reportedly collapsed on the floor upon unlocking the door of his house to meet police.


Police had taken the lawmaker to a police clinic and informed Nigerians via tweet on their Twitter handle, that Melaye, was stable and that nothing was wrong with his health.

Ben Bruce, however, reacted by tweeting that the police should do an objective examination on Melaye’s health rather than assume he was faking it

He wrote: “Rather than the police being the judge and jury in their own case with Dino Melaye, why don’t we get an objective third party medical examiner to examine Dino to determine whether he is really ill or faking as the Police allege?”

No peace for the wicked

Dino is now deaf and dumb
Get well soon to see Buhari Victory

This man has been trying to make common sense for years now, but still no head way. Didn't the doctors already check Dino? Didn't They run series of test which came out negative?

An objective medical examiner that pdp will compromise before he see Dino, mbanu...

Until Dino enters the grave and duely cover with sounds and waiting for three months to be sure he doesn't show up again i don't believe Dino.

Don't blame me, Dino drama is beyond what i predict.

Nigeria police behaving like political thug

I’m sure this Albino Twitter Senator did not have anybody in his family or circle of friends to advice me to stop making unfounded allegations in public...
