Dino Melaye Refuses To Appear Before Court, Claims He’s Sick To Leave Hospital Bed – See Photos

Controversial Senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye, who surrendered to the Nigerian Police after a seven-day standoff, has refused to leave his hospital bed for an appearance in a Lokoja court over charges of criminal conspiracy and attempted culpable homicide.

The Police alleged the controversial Melaye committed the offenses on 19th July 2018 with his armed thugs who attacked Police personnel, shot and wounded SGT Danjuma Saliu on stop and search duty along Aiyetoro Gbede, Mopa Road in Kogi State.

Melaye fainted on Friday in front of the waiting police team and was revived of a suspected asthma attack before being taken to a Police hospital.

When Police operatives arrived to pick Melaye, who has been in custody at a Police hospital, he claimed he was sick and unable to stand up.
