Nigerians have taken to their Twitter handles to lambaste the embattled senator representing Kogi west senatorial district, Dino Melaye, for having access to his mobile phone and internet while allegedly under police watch at the hospital.
The senator beamed the searchlight on himself when he took to his Twitter handle earlier in the day, to update Nigerians and probably some of his highly placed friends on his current predicament at the National Hospital, Abuja.
Melaye, who was taken to the National Hospital by the police on Wednesday after he was re-arrested, disclosed that some of his family members that were arrested since Monday are still in police detention.
The senator went on to give their names as Samuel Melaye, Moses Melaye, Pastor Obalemo, his driver Folorunsho, one of his lawyers as well as seven others.
Melaye is at the intensive care unit of the national hospital. Trauma section

Arrested but given the access to phone and internet. Is that one an arrest? Thank God say no be Abacha era……Oga Dino, park well.

The next time Dino would be transported, the police should honour him using one of the helicopters. Remember, he is still a senator and distinguished.
Let someone try to jump off the helicopter. Season 3. Sendinmel movie.— Ola Christfused (@BenAbolade) April 25, 2018
Have you been discharged from the hospital ni? Meanwhile, INEC has also started your recall process. All the best ‘Distinguished’

Dino is that you? Thought they said u can barely talk, obviously your hands are still active.

Oga goan answer ur case. Tweeting from a sick bed shows the injury u sustained from the accident was not serious.
Lead by example, stop running from post to pillar.
