Dino Melaye, the lawmaker representing Kogi West, has alleged that the Nigeria Police Force was working with the state governor, Yahaya Bello to “frame” and “kill” him.
The embattled lawmaker who recently defected to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, claimed that the police and Bello were plotting to frame him for “illegal possession of firearms.”
In a series of tweets on Monday, Melaye said they were plotting to “forcefully” take him to Lokoja, the state capital, where he would be “killed”.
He wrote: “Nigerian police working with Kogi State Govt is trying to frame me up again with culpable Homicide and illegal possession of firearm. This is going to be the 6th arraignment of police against me.
“They want to forcefully take me to Lokoja and kill me afterwards. cc: UN,EU,USA,AU.
“I was the one attacked by the police, they try to kill me, Ait reporter and other journalists were there.
“It was reported by Ait and other national print medium. To turn around and accuse harmless me of lies is ridiculous. But this time they will be shocked bc I know too much.”
The lawmaker and Bello had since been at loggerheads, partly the reason itr was adduced made Melaye to defect to the PDP.
