Police re-arrest Senator Melaye in hospital

The senator representing Kogi west, Dino Melaye, has
been arrested — a second time on Tuesday — by officers of the
Nigeria police force.

The senator was arrested around 7:30pm at Zankili Medical
Center, Abuja, where he is being treated for injuries sustained
when he jumped out of a moving vehicle in a bid to escape.

The police are, however, yet to take the senator away from the
hospital as he is still being treated.

Sources at the hospital told newsmen that the security
operatives have taken custody of the room he is in.

Movement is being restricted in some parts of the hospital.
