Ex-lawmaker Dino Melaye escapes assasination in Abuja today

Earlier this evening in Abuja Honourable Dino Melaye escaped an assassination attempt on his life as he was heading to his Wuse home.

DailyPost was able to speak with him briefly and he confirmed he was with the SSS at the moment, before handing us over to the Director of Planning and Strategy for Anti-Corruption Network, a movement he is at the forefront of and here is what he said:


“It’s just a miracle that he is alive. He called me about an hour ago and told me what happened.

“They were about four or five of them and they shot at his Bentley twice, but the bullets didn’t penetrate. It is a miracle, because they are not bullet-proof. They even tried to jack him down from the car.

When asked if they were possibly robbers, he replied: “It’s a clear case of assassination. No one would want to steal a Bentley. When you fight corruption, corruption tries to fight back.

Thank God for his life.
