How SARS Was prevented From Arresting Senator Dino Melaye In Lokoja By Local Vigilante

Operatives of Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, have failed in an attempt to arrest senator Dino Melaye, who was at the 8th fidau prayers for late Deputy Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Buba Jubril, in Lokoja, Kogi State

The Police had earlier declared the senator Dino Melaye wanted over his implication in handing over illegal weapons to some kidnappers who claimed to be his thugs.

The SARS’ operatives had stormed Kabawa Primary School, Lokoja, venue of the fidau prayers, in efforts to arrest Senator Melaye but were unsuccessful in their mission as local vigilante men encircled Dino Melaye and made it impossible for the SARS operatives to get close to him.

Dino, after the prayer session was escorted into the waiting vehicle of the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, by the local vigilantes who formed a ring round him.

The SARS’ operatives, who later besieged Chief Rasaq Kutepa’s House at the GRA, where the reception took place, were disappointed to see Melaye in the convoy of the Senate President leave for the late Buba’s House from where they left for Obajana airstrip for a flight to Kastina.
