Senator Dino Melaye Diverts FG Relief Materials, by abu12: 6:19am On Jan 03, 2017

It would be recalled that during the last raining season, a
certain part of Kogi state was affected by flood, wind and
other natural disaster that left many people homeless and
properties worth hundreds of millions destroyed. During this
trying time a number of spirited individuals and
organizations came to assist these victims in their little
ways pending when the Federal government’s National
emergency management agency would come to their aids
as required by the law.


During this period, several government officials and elected
representative made calls to the NEMA to immediately
assist the people, among such persons is the Governor of
Kogi state, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, Senator Dino Melaye and
member representing Kabba-bunu/Ijumu Federal
constituency, Hon Tajudeen Yusuf.


After several months of waiting, facts emerging from the
NEMA headquarters confirmed that trailers load of Rice,
Mattresses, roofing materials and other house hold
equipment worth hundreds of millions were handed over to
Senator Dino Melaye at the end of December 2016 for
distribution to the victims of the disaster whose livelihood
have become very poor as a result of the disaster.
Senator Dino Melaye, according to the reports, received the
items for the disaster victims in Kabba/Bunu, Ijumu, Lokoja
and Koto karfe LGAs, but he decided to divert the materials
for political gains instead of giving same to the affected
victims.


We can reliably confirm that the Senator shared half of these
items to his political followers and diverted the rest for his
personal gains. We also gathered that part of the items
found their way to Benue state with the connivance of one
Mr Samuel Melaye, who is Senator Melaye’s immediate
younger brother and Senior Legislative Aide. Mr Samuel
Melaye, who is said to be married to an Idoma lady, sent
part of the relief materials to his inlaws as Christmas gift.

Meanwhile, the Kogi West Peoples Front, a social cultural
group of Kogi state has asked the Independent Corrupt
Practices and other related offenses Commission (ICPC) to
immediately commence a thorough investigation into this
grievous allegation as it is considered to be a crime against
humanity.

The organization in a press release on the 1st January 2017
described the act as satanic, wicked and height of corruption
perpetrated by a lawmaker that is supposed to defend his
people.


The spokesman of the group, Alh. Aminu Inuwa Bala decried
it as a wicked act of a rich man to impoverish the people.
Alh Inuwa thanked the Federal government through the
NEMA for considering the plight of the victims by providing
the relief materials but condemned the Senator and called
the behaviora daylight robbery against the poor and attempt
to sabotage the efforts of the Federal Government.


He called on government to begin immediate investigation
and subsequent prosecution of the Senator and the NEMA
officials assigned to monitor the distribution who refused to
do their job but colluded with the Senator to rob the poor.
Efforts to reach Senator Dino Melaye proved abortive as
calls made to his phone was ignored.

I knew something was very fishy about those pics yesterday. Dino has never been known to be generous. He probably got those items for a quarter of the price they are worth. angry

The problem with thieves is that they lack honor and would steal even from the dead.

Dino is a "method actor" who got in purely through APC Sak (A travesty that should never ever repeat itself) and not strength of character.... He has a pattern, nothing new here...

Howdy?
