HUMAN rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana, SAN, yesterday, called on the lawmaker representing Kogi West Senatorial district, Senator Dino Melaye to end the siege by submitting himself for arrest without any further delay.

He, however, cautioned the Police to conduct Melaye’s arrest, investigation and prosecution in strict compliance with the relevant provisions of the penal statutes and the Constitution.

In a statement Falana flayed the Police for the sensationalization of the planned arrest of the Senator.

His words: “The fundamental right of every citizen to personal liberty is guaranteed by section 35 of the Constitution of Nigeria and article 6 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights. The right may however be violated by the State if there is reasonable suspicion that any citizen has committed a criminal offence. The Nigeria Police Force recently announced its plan to arrest Senator Dino on the allegation that he has committed the offences of criminal conspiracy and attempted culpable homicide. The Senator did not respond to the invitation of the Police on the grounds that the permission of the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki was not sought and obtained.

“Convinced that the Senator has decided not to submit himself for investigation, a team of police personnel have surrounded his residence with a view to effecting his arrest. The siege to the house by the Police has needlessly lasted for 6 days. It has been reported that the supply of electricity and water to the house has been disconnected by the Police. Such action cannot be justified in law. There is no doubt that the Nigeria Police Force has itself to blame for the sensational planned arrest of the Senator.

”The Police ought to have affected the arrest of the Senator under the relevant provisions of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015 which empower the Police and other law enforcement to break into any house to arrest if there is evidence that any criminal suspect against whom a warrant of arrest has been issued by any court has absconded or is concealing himself or herself so that the warrant cannot be executed.”

Dino,a word is enough for the wise, hearken to the words of elders

He know his guilty, that's why he won't show up. Dino the wise man.

This Sam useless lawyer that occupied Ojota when Jonathan wanted to remove subsidy, he now pretends like there is no subsidy now and has lost his voice. May God punish them together with those useless Western musicians

The moment you heard Police, Omo, gbabe, your doors are in pieces.

Those Police sent to arrest Dino Melaye are nothing but bunch of idiots.

Break his doors down and kick the motherfucker ass to the cell.

In 2012, four Members of British Parliament were jailed for 6 years.

Their offence? They made false claims of equivalent of N1. 2million for travelling expenses.

Do you guys believe that? Yes, they were jailed for mere 1.2 million Naira. It happens in a country that place Rule of law above Rule of Qur'an or Bible.

Any country that place religion above Rule of law will always end up like Nigeria.

A slowpoke like Dino Melaye is wanted for attempted murder and some idiots saying negative things about the IG OF POLICE.

No be una fault sha.

When last has a senator been truly jailed, money will settle everything.

No him remain there forever.

But they might kill that man oo.. Afterrall it called accidentally discharge

I can feel your pain,this is 2019 forget the shock of 2015

If police did this to an ordinary citizen

Nigerians: The police should leave him alone and go after those politicians

Now Police are after a politician

Some Nigerians: This is a set up! Witch Hunt. Our democracy is under threat!!

Melaye should surrender if his hands are clean. Police should check the trees around the area

Saraki and Dino, the 2 crazy thieves and killers in the Senate.

Both of you are going into political oblivion this year.

Losers and corrupt souls.

.

Over to Senator Dino Melaye.

is a shame we have a senator like him.

Thank you my brother, exactly, what I advised him immediately this thing happened.

Bad times for Dino.

Dino attempted suicide by jumping out of police van the last time they tried to arrest him he could even do worst now.

Meaning Falana has finally gotten the technical aspect of the law with which to release the Rogue Senator from the hooks of Nigerian Police.

I give up on Nigerian criminals called SAN

You no see wall near you to bang your head against?

Dino is a COWARD like his Ass-leakers from the East.

Dino, come out, come out... Wherever you are!!

Quit playing hide and seek with Justice and face your travails like a man jare!!

I know you don't want to go to jail because you're worried about who's going to do houseboy for Saraki in Kwara, when he's also sent packing this year, but don't fret...we will cross that river when we get there!!

Can Falana take up the case and ensure that Dino' s rights are protected?

When Dino announced to the world that there was imminent plan to arrest and inject him with deadly substances, the police vehemently denied it, only to turn around and lay siege when it became apparent that their plot has been thwarted.

The police cannot be trusted in this case.

AS A MATTER OF FACT ,NONE OF THESE GUYS ARE QUALIFIED TO BE AS A SENATOR,HOUSE OF REP,GOVERNOR EVEN PRESIDENT BUT THE ISSUE IS THAT PEOPLE WILL NOT STOP SELLING THIER VOTES FOR PEANUT

This coward is back again. Now he wants to form relevant. Nobody takes him serious anymore. Even his beloved buhari could not listen to his words and release zakzaky. Now he wants to come and form advice, while buhari has made tyranny the order of the day now in Nigeria.
Typical afonja.
coward.
