The plot of the drama involving the senator representing Kogi West senatorial district in the National Assembly, Sen. Dino Melaye, has got thicker Monday afternoon after more than 30 heavily-armed policemen stormed his residence in Maitama, Abuja.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) senator announced this on Twitter at 2.29pm.
He said, “Over 30 heavily armed fierce looking mobile police men have just stormed My residence in Maitama, Abuja. All roads leading to House has been condoned off, as heavy mobile police men blocked entry & exit of the road. They currently laid siege on in and around The house.”

Melaye was earlier today arrested at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport by the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) as he was about boarding a flight to Morocco on an official engagement.
He tweeted:
I have just been arrested at the international wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe airport on my way to Morocco for an official engagement sponsored by the Federal Govt after checking in.

The NIS later confirmed arresting him “based on instruction”, before he was released.
Melaye was recently declared wanted by the Nigerian Police Force for allegedly providing arms for hoodlums in his home state of Kogi State.
