Senator Ben Murray-Bruce has said Senator Dino Melaye is asthmatic prompting him to jump off a police vehicle conveying him to Kogi state after he was allegedly gassed on several occasions.
“Dino literally escaped death,” the Bayelsa East Senator said, adding “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”.
TheNewsGuru reports spokesman to the Kogi West Senator, Gideon Ayodele, had said his boss jumped off the police moving vehicle conveying him to his home state to evade Governor Yahaya Bello’s alleged plans to assassinate him.
Senator Murray-Bruce statement after visiting the outspoken Senator at the National Hospital in Abuja, where he is currently receiving intensive medical care, comes contrary to the spokesman’s assassination insinuations.
Just met with @dino_melaye. Very sad to hear what transpired. Dino is asthmatic, yet while in transit, the police gassed him & he could barely breathe. Second time they gassed him, he had to force his way out of the vehicle. Dino literally escaped death. SAD!
