The police say the lawmaker representing Kogi West district, Senator Dino Melaye, has been moved to the medical facility of the Department of State Services (DSS) in Abuja.
Force Public Relations Officer, Mr. Jimoh Moshood, who confirmed this explained that the lawmaker was indeed taken away from the Police Clinic to another government-owned medical facility after the senator and the police disagreed about his fitness to face trial.
Moshood revealed further that the police have obtained a warrant of arrest to detain the lawmaker for 14 days, which started from Wednesday, January 9.
The senator emerged from his residence in Abuja on Friday last week after eight days of police siege. The lawmaker was declared wanted by the police for alleged criminal conspiracy and attempted culpable homicide which he reportedly committed in Kogi State on July 19, 2018.
