The commissioner of police in Abuja, Mr Olufemi Ogunbayo, has concluded that the alleged assassination on Dino Melaye never took place. He said Melaye reported the incident, but the police could not find
evidence of an assassination attempt at the alleged crime scene.
According to him, the ex-lawmaker said he was on his way home from the National
Hospital, Abuja in his air conditioned car, all windows wound up, and
was listening to cool music when he noticed a range rover sport golf car
drive past his.
Continue after the cut...
“The car was said to have parked few meters away from his and the
next thing he (Mr. Melaye) heard was a loud sound which he thought was a
gunshot. Dino Melaye never said the shot was aimed at him,” the police
boss said.
“The police have gone to the scene of the crime and we could not find any car parked there; no trace of shells on the ground. And there is car dealer store at the area which we went to ask if
they heard any gunshot and they said no they never heard any gunshot.
Further investigation showed that Mr. Melaye’s
car window is not bullet proof; and if there was a gunshot it would have
penetrated straight into the car and he would have been shot dead. The window has a sign of a crack on it, which could have been a
result of the loud sound."
“If they had wanted to kill Dino, they do not need to drive and park
meters away from Dino’s car before shooting, they would have just
blocked his car and shoot him at the spot, so that cannot be called an
attempted assassination. And how then is it possible for you to be in
your car wind up enjoying the air condition and a very cool music and
then you hear a gunshot?” he said.
Haba, oga police ye, wetin be this ye, lol. Ofcourse you can hear the sound of a gun shot even with music blaring in the car!
