The Command wish to state unequivocally that the statement is not only a figment of the imagination of Senator Melaye who has mastered the art of political gimmickry but totally false, malicious and highly mischievous. “The Commissioner of Police sent Police Officers to his country home for arrest, unfortunately, we did not get him at home,” the statement said. It accused Melaye, who is representing Kogi West senatorial district of mobilising thugs to attack its personnel on routine duty along Mopa–Aiyetoro-Gbede on July 19 without any provocation.
