Dino Melaye Wins Legal Battle Against Nigerian Govt, IG After Six Years

A former Senator, Dino Melaye, has been acquitted in the 12th and final case brought against him by the Federal Government. The legal battle began six years ago.

According to Melaye, Justice Sylvanus Oriji delivered his verdict at the FCT High Court in Maitama, clearing Melaye of two charges of providing false information concerning an alleged assassination attempt on his life in 2017.

This legal saga began in February 2018 when Melaye faced accusations of falsely implicating Edward Onoja, the then-chief of Staff, to Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello in the assassination plot.

In his post, he also noted, “Justice served after six years. Justice delayed is never justice denied. God alone be praised. SEN. DINO MELAYE 12 – FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND IGP 0. 12 CASES ALL WON BY GOD.”
