Dino Melaye escapes assassination attempt

 Senator Dino Melaye in the early hours of today escaped an assassination attempt on his life at his home in Ayetoro-Gbede in Kogi state.

According to reports, about 10 gunmen stormed Dino's home at about 12 midnight and started shooting sporadically at the building.
Although Dino wasn't hurt, two of his cars were riddled with bullets.
 He made a distress call to the state Commissioner of police, Wilson Inalegwu, who ordered policemen to the scene. However before the police got to his home, the gunmen had escaped.

The commissioner of police has ordered an investigation into the attack.

Speaking on the attack, Dino said he believes the assassination attempt was politically motivated.
“At about midnight, we started hearing gunshots. They fired more than 200 rounds of bullets into the house. This attempt to kill me will not stop me from speaking the truth.
If I speak the truth, I will die. If I lie, I will die. I’ve decided to speak the truth and die. I’m not afraid of death. I only respect men, I don’t fear them. I am championing an administrative cause. I will continue to speak and be the voice to the voiceless. I’m not deterred. I remain resolute to make Kogi better. Noting will stop me from coming home. The DPO did not come to my house until three hours later. Even the area Commander in Kabba was not notified until I called the Commissioner of police. I suspect a Satanic collaboration between Taufiq Isa and the police in Aiyetoro because the duo held a meeting two days ago. Only God will protect us in this country but definitely not the police” he said

  17. Yeah right!!! I also escaped an assasination attempt last night.. 25 unknown gunmen came to my house and started shooting at my house.. if ten assassins really want to kill someone, he's dead.. The story sounds fake. This is a sitting senator, I bet he collects millions for security. Where were they? This sounds to me more like an assasination attempt on his house, not on him.. lol

  28. Stage managed by same drama senator. Cheat.

  29. I hope this is not setup to win public sympathy, because I really cannot see the truth he is speaking that deserves an assassination attempt. People are doing more serious things and no one is killing them.

  30. Knowing Dino, this is another stunt. This is not the way assasins work. They would have entered his room without anyone hearing anything and not shooting from outside.

    Abeg, "Ajeku Iya" tell us something new

  43. Dino trying to divert attention from his degree scandals. Nobody needs 10 assassins to kill one person.

  46. 10 assassins would enter the main building and attempt to assassinate and not shoot sporadically at caravan and bus! Dino, your stage managed stunt failed. Why try to rope Honorable Isa in this lie attempt? Is this your way to stop Isa from taking your job in 2019? Dino must go!!!

  47. Warning bells i guess.ten gun men that shot over 200 bullets would have demolished the house & the occupants,maybe they just came to serve u a warning
