Melaye reacts to attack on his constituency project, tasks communities

Senator Dino Melaye,  representing Kogi West in the National Assembly,  Monday, reacted to the latest attempt at vandalizing one of his constituency projects in Kogi state.

The latest attack we gathered was carried out in his country home, Ayetoro Gbede, in Ijumu Local Government Area of Kogi state.

It was learnt that a skills acquisition project facilitated by the lawmaker in his hometown was vandalized by yet to be identified hoodlums.

Confirming the incident, the National President of Ayetoro Gbede Development Association, (AGDA), Elder Olorunfemi Ezekiel Adekunle, said the dastardly act was carried out in the night.

Reacting to the latest incident, the embattled lawmaker disclosed that minimal damage was recorded.

 Melaye in a tweeter message, however urged communities to project such projects against vandalism.

He wrote: “There was an attempt to burn down the skill acquisition center I provided in Aiyetoro Gbede yesterday with minimal damage recorded.

“The community leaders have reported & have taken over the protection of the project. All communities with various projects should do same.”
