Following talks that Senator Dino Melaye jumped out of a moving police vehicle on Tuesday April 24th 2018, while being taken to Kogi State to be arraigned for gun running, an eyewitness says Senator Dino Melaye did not jump off the vehicle as claimed but SARS operatives but abandoned the Senator at area One roundabout in Abuja.
“At the area one roundabout, people heard a man in the police vehicle shouting for help. The people were moved at the development and blocked the Police and in the process, forcefully pulled him out of the police vehicle,” Peter Babayemi, one of the passers-by had told newsmen who rushed to the scene of the incident.
Babayemi disclosed that their attention was drawn to the lawmaker’s plea for help, and immediately the SARS vehicle was surrounded by a sea of passers-by. He noted that the SARS operatives were overwhelmed by the number of passers-by and abandoned Melaye and drove off to avoid being lynched.
“What happened was that we were at the area one roundabout when we saw the SARS vehicle carrying someone.
“We saw the person struggling and shouting on top of his voice. So, many people now gathered to see what was happening. When we looked close, we saw it was Dino Melaye. “Immediately, we started shouting that we know this man. Since some of us had read the news about what was happening to him, we said we won’t allow them take him anywhere. That was how we rescued him from them and they drove away when people became too many,” the eyewitness added.
