Foremost anti-corruption crusader, Dino Melaye, was again re-arrested yesterday at his office in Abuja by men of the Nigerian Police.

CEOAFRICA.com gathered that the police team was led by ASP Patrick Ejoh, from the Federal Capital Territory Police Command and the former House of Representative Member was not informed of his alleged offence, although he was served arrest warrant.

Dino, who was arrested less than two weeks ago for leading a protest against Minister of Aviation, Princess Stella Odua, over the controversial purchase of two bullet-proof cars at the rate of N255 million, said the police told him they have arrest warrant of him for threatening and intimidating someone.

“Two Police officers are presently with me and they have come to arrest me. I did not know my offence, the two police officers just told me that they have a warrant of arrest on me with a charge of criminal intimidation and threat to life.

“But they did not tell me who I intimidated and threatened. There are two ASPs here, one of them is Patrick Ejoh. They said they were taking me to FCT state command,” he told journalists.

He may be arraigned today at a Magistrate Court in Abuja, as police investigation continues.
