SAN FRANCISCO, March 28, (THEWILL) –
Senator Dino Melaye has threatened to sue the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris over the reported escape of two suspects who accused him of being their sponsor and gun supplier.
Melaye, speaking on the floor of the Senate on Wednesday, cited Order 43 and submitted that the police had either released the suspects or killed them.
He therefore said that the Police must produce the suspects dead or alive or he would sue the Police IG for intimidation, abuse of power, harassment and mental assault.
THEWILL recalls that on March 20, the Nigerian Police paraded the suspects who were alleged to be working for Melaye.
The thugs were caught with two AK-47 and five pump action guns.
The suspects were billed to be arraigned on Wednesday.
However, the Police in Lokoja, on Wednesday, announced that the suspects, Kabiru Seidu alias Osama and Nuhu Salisu alias Small, along with four others, escaped following a jail break at the A Police Division in Lokoja where they were being kept in lawful custody.
The police Commissioner said that 13 policemen, comprising five operatives of Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) and eight conventional policemen on duty when the incident happened have been detained for interrogation.
Janga also stated that the names of Dino Melaye and Mohammed Audu had been sent for watch listing by the Interpol for immediate arrest anywhere they are found.
