Report Yourself Or Be Declared Wanted, Police Tells Melaye Over Convoy Shooting

CP Ali Janga

The Nigeria Police threatens to declare Senator Dino Melaye wanted if he fails to report himself to answer questions on allegations he accused the force of.

On Thursday, Senator Melaye had accused the police of shooting at his convoy on his way to inaugurate a project in his constituency in Kogi State.

The Kogi State Commissioner of Police, Mr Ali Janga, reacting to Dino's accusation, noted that while the accusations were untrue, the police opened fire in defence of a alleged shooting by some individuals in the lawmaker’s convoy.

The Commissioner of Police, made this disclosure on Friday while addressing newsmen in his office.

“Unidentified civilians inside (a vehicle in the convoy) decided to open fire on my policemen. You don’t expect the police to fold their arms; eventually they replied and opened fire too,” Janga said.

“Dino has been going round telling people that he was attacked by unidentified people armed men; no, they were real police officers.

“They were there on assignment. Nobody attacked Dino but rather, his convoy attacked my policemen and they repelled,” he added.

The Kogi State Police henchman condemned the alleged assault on the police officers who were on official duty at the time the incident took place. He however, said the lawmaker has been invited for questioning and that the police would be forced to declare him wanted, should he refuse to honour the invitation.

“We are going after him (Melaye) and if we cannot see him, we will declare him wanted and we will send his name for watchlisting,” Janga said.
