Dino Melaye
Dino Melaye, senator representing Kogi west, has regained
freedom after over two weeks in detention.
On Friday, a high court in Abuja granted bail to the lawmaker on
health grounds.
In his ruling, Yusuf Halilu, the judge, said Melaye should be
allowed to attend to his health as he could not be arraigned on a
stretcher or on his hospital bed.
Halilu ordered the senator to present three sureties who reside
and have properties in Abuja, emphasisng that one of the sureties
must be the clerk of the national assembly who would write provide
a letter attesting that Melaye will always be available for
trial.
After fulfilling his bail conditions, Melaye filed a suit
against the inspector-general of police (IGP), seeking that the
police do not arrest him.
