Embattled Senator Dino Melaye has narrated how he was tied up and “hurled into a dark solitary confinement waiting for the butcher's knife” throughout his arrest by safety brokers.
The Senator who represents Kogi West was on Wednesday granted bail by a Kogi State High Court sitting in Lokoja.
He is being tried for allegedly being a confederate to some suspected criminals.
While narrating his ordeal in detention, the lawmaker mentioned in an assertion launched on Monday, that terror was unleashed on him as a result of he stood for the reality.
“They, unleashed an endless barrage of physical, psychological, metaphysical and emotional torture and assault on me, but, through the power of the Most High, and you the good people of Nigeria, we have once again, seen the triumph of truth over lies and good over evil,” the lawmaker mentioned.
As said by him, “The state unleashed its uncooked energy on me and launched a 200 man-strong absolutely armed policemen – on a man with out a knife nor a bullet. It did this as a result of I referred to as injustice by its identify and referred to as for accountability.
“For this they sought to break my spirit and destroy me permanently. In their moment of reign, I was fully shackled. With my hands tied to my back, and hurled into a dark solitary confinement waiting for the butchers knife, you, my people stood by me. You came against a raging fire and stood up against tyranny, lies, filthy lucre, injustice, persecution and greed.”
He thanked the management of the Senate, and Nigerians typically for standing with him all through his trial, vowing to not relent in standing for the reality.
