Exactly Eight days after hiding himself at his residence to avoid arrest by policemen for alleged culpable homicide, Senator Dino Melaye has surrendered himself to the police and moved to the Force headquarters where he is expected to meet with the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris.
Punch reports that the embattled lawmaker has now moved to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad office, Guzape, Abuja, where he may be interrogated after failing to see the IG who was said to be out of the office.
Over 50 policemen had stormed Melaye’s mansion last week Friday in an attempt to arrest him for interrogation over the alleged shooting of one Sgt. Aliyu.

The policeman, who is said to be lying critically ill at the Federal Medical Centre, Lokoja was said to have been injured by suspected thugs loyal to the senator in Kogi State last year July.
But Melaye who represents Kogi West in the National Assembly, had barricaded himself in his home and refused to surrender for arrest.
