ABUJA-SENATOR Dino Melaye, who was arrested Tuesday morning by operatives of the Nigeria Police drawn from its Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS,is at present being moved to Lokoja.<\/p>\n
The embattled senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District under the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, is expected to be paraded later this evening among other hardened criminals who implicated him in the crime that necessitated his arrest.<\/p>\n
The senator who was taken into SARS detention facility, located opposite the old Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN junction along the Area 1 expressway, Abuja, was moved out around 12 noon today in police vehicle heavily manned by SARS operatives.<\/p>\n
The detention facility is where hardened criminals arrested for theft, murder, cultism and other criminal acts are kept.<\/p>\n
A source said before being moved out into the waiting vehicle for onward journey to his home state, Melaye was handcuffed to avoid possible escape from the security operatives.<\/p>\n
Attempts for inquiry from the Force Headquarters\u2019 deputy image maker were not successful as he refused to pick calls made to his known telephone lines. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
