Kogi state governor, Yahaya Bello, has responded to allegations by Senator Dino Melaye, that he was working with the police to destroy him. The Governor told the outspoken Senator to leave him out of his problems with the police.

In a statement released by Kingsley Fanwo, his spokesperson, Governor Bello advised Melaye to appear before the police to clear the criminal allegations against him. Fanwo further stated that the simple thing for the Senator would have been for him to prove his case and leave the governor out of his problems.  He said,

“He should face the issue and leave the governor out of the issues surrounding his face off with the police. The governor is a law-abiding citizen of Nigeria who would not involve himself in such criminality, home or abroad. No organization has ever indicted the governor for such crime”.

“He has respect for human life. What has the governor got to do with that? Criminals were nabbed by the police and those criminals disclosed the persons behind the supply of arms to them. On our part as a government, we are pleased that our anti-crime efforts are yielding fruits. Yahaya Bello is committed to ensuring the safety of all Kogi residents.

That is his primary responsibility to the people of the state. He has also commended the police for arresting criminals that were disturbing the peace of the state. Dino should rather face the law. The governor has nothing to do with his travails” the statement read.
