The Nigerian Senate on Wednesday, April
25, ended its plenary session early to
enable lawmakers to visit their colleague,
Senator Dino Melaye, Premium Times
reports.
NAIJ.com gathered that the lawmakers,
took turns at the plenary to condemn the
police for what they termed as inhuman
treatment of Melaye by security
operatives.
Oluremi Tinubu while deliberating on the
incident moved a motion that the Senate
adjourn plenary to immediately go in
search of the Kogi state senator.

accounts of earlier speakers that they
were turned back while attempting to
visit Melaye at the hospital.
Senate president, Bukola Saraki, said that
Senator Melaye has been in intensive
unit and has not eaten in 24 hours.
Saraki said this shortly after vising the
Kogi senator at the National Hospital on
Wednesday, April 25, in Abuja.
