Dino Melaye says withdrawal of Police Escort from VIPs Targeted at Him

Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Dino Melaye, has lamented the Inspector General Of Police, Ibrahim Idris‘ withdrawal of police escorts from politicians.

Idris had on Monday announced the withdrawal of all policemen currently attached to politicians, pubic office holders, and very important personalities.

Melaye, on his Twitter, said the IGP was targeting him with the move.

“IG want[s] to expose me so I can be killed,” Melaye wrote.

He has survived assassination attempts twice, he wrote, and he deserves police protection.

Withdrawal of police from VIP I am the target. IG want to expose me so I can be killed. Having survived Assassination attempt twice I deserve police protection in a country where I’m a tax payer.
