Dino Melaye: How Senator escaped being killed by police – Senator Bruce

Ben Bruce, Senator representing Bayelsa East, on Monday revealed why
Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye actually jumped off a moving police van
in Abuja.

Melaye had last week jumped off a police van in Abuja while being
transported to Kogi State to face criminal charges.

Following the incident, the lawmaker sustained injuries and is
currently at the intensive care unit of the National Hospital in
Abuja.

Explaining why Melaye jumped off the van, Bruce said his embattled
colleague was asthmatic and while on transit "the police gassed him,"
hence the need to force his way out of the van.

The Business mogul, in a tweet declared that Melaye "literally escaped death."

Bruce wrote: "Just met with @dino_melaye. Very sad to hear what
transpired. Dino is asthmatic, yet while in transit, the police gassed
him and he could barely breathe. Second time they gassed him, he had
to force his way out of the vehicle. Dino literally escaped death.
SAD!"
