Dino Melaye, senator representing Kogi west, says angels of the Lord rescued him from a high court in Abuja after operatives of the special anti-robbery squad (SARS) attempted to arrest him.

On Thursday, the federal government arraigned the senator for allegedly framing Edward Onoja, chief of staff of Yahaya Bello, governor of Kogi state, in an attempt on Melaye’s life.

The court granted Melaye bail in sum of N100,000 but SARS operatives prevented himfrom leaving.

The senator later sneaked out of the court.

Speaking on the floor of the senate on Wednesday, Melaye expressed displeasure that the All Progressives Congress (APC) which he worked for took him to court.

“On the 1st of March, I was arraigned by the party I worked for. I was arraigned by the government I helped to install. I appeared before the court and I was granted bail,” he said.

“Having been granted bail, I was quickly alerted that there were over a hundred policemen from SARS outside the court waiting to arrest me. When they took pictures of them to come and show me, even if you were going for the head of Shekau, you wouldn’t have prepared any better.

“I was in that court for hours and they laid siege for hours. Every car coming in and out of the court were being checked. Somehow because I serve a living God, the angels of the Lord took me out of that court unnoticed and unhurt. They laid siege for more than five hours after I was resting on my bed.

“We have a convention in this country, that when security agencies are interested in interrogating, investigating and inviting any senator, they write the senate president to provide such senator. Why would they demean the integrity of the senate, and lay siege on a senator of the Federal Republic as if you want to arrest a common criminal.”

Melaye also called on President Muhammadu Buhari to declare a state of emergency in Kogi state.

The senator said this would serve as “deterrence to other governors who think power starts and ends with them.”

How many times has the IG ordered the dismantling of illegal roadblocks? He'll give an order to look good then go behind and sanction nonsense. There's no way such a number of SARS operatives will lay a siege like that in Abuja without the knowledge n approval of the IG. They are all a bunch of lawless brutes only able to attack defenseless private citizens. Let dem enter Sambisa now boko boys will just slaughter them like the worthless, diseased chickens they are.

What business does he have with SARS? Was he not arraigned before the court and granted bail lawfully? Why d attempt to arrest him again? Continue supporting intimidation, impunity n lawlessness, e go reach ur side.

Oga Dino find out the leader of the SarS team and have hired killers eliminate them one after the other including their family members. Sars bastard officials need to be taught a lesson.

On a serious note...
They were specially formed to confront violent crimes such as armed robbery in the 90s but because of the less cases of home armed robberies since almost everyone now has a bank account, you now see them arresting and intimidating people when a business deal goes wrong, involving themselves in marital disputes, chasing people selling drugs, arresting passerby, charging exorbitant bail sums etcs... As a side business they even engage in kidnapping and armed robbery at night.

Melaye it"s now time to sponsor a bill that will disband that group of special armed robbers who are only specialist in intimidation, harrasment etc. If it is the only thing you'll achieve as a Senator, young nigerians will be grateful to you.
