Two suspected assassins that were paraded last week and alleged to be working for Senator Dino Melaye and son of former Kogi state governor Abubakar Audu, Mohammed Audu, have fled the prison after a jail break this morning Wednesday March 28th.
A statement from the state police says four other criminals fled the prison as well. The police command has asked Nigerians to alert them wherever they see Dino Melaye, or any of the criminals that are currently on the run. The command in the statement says it has also alerted INTERPOL.
Melaye, while making the call at the plenary on Wednesday, said he had already informed his lawyers to take a legal action against the Police boss if he fails to have the suspects re-arrested.
The embattled senator raised a point of order to inform the Senate that the suspects had allegedly escaped from custody ahead of his (Melaye) arraignment before a court in Kogi State on Wednesday.
