Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has slammed the Federal Government on the manner the police conducted and executed the arrest of the Senator representing Kogi West senatorial district, Dino Melaye, on Tuesday.
Fayose, who took to his Twitter account to react to the arrest, said it is funny that Melaye had become so small to be able to jump through the window of a police vehicle.

Funny that Senator Dino Melaye has now become so small that he can escape through the window of police vehicle. That vehicle window must be as big as those Aso Villa windows through which rats invaded our President’s office.

If half of the level aggressiveness being shown by the Police on arrest of Dino Melaye is shown on the killings by herdsmen across the North Central & other parts of the country,the rampaging killer herdsmen that are even killing policemen would have been brought under control

Meanwhile, heavily armed police officers have taken positions at Zankli Hospital, Abuja, where Melaye is being treated for the injuries he sustained after allegedly jumped out of a moving police vehicle.
ACP Jimoh Moshood, in a statement, said Melaye escaped from lawful police custody while being taken for arraignment in Federal High Court, Lokoja, from Abuja.
He said a team of policemen trailed Melaye to the hospital and re-arrested him.
