Following hours of police laying siege outside his home in Abuja, embattled Senator Dino Melaye has announced plans to surrender himself to the police later today. He made his plans known in a post he shared on his Facebook page this morning.

He wrote:

Recall that, Dino was stopped from traveling out of the country yesterday. He was on his way to Morocco for an official assignment when he was withheld by the police and Immigration officers.

He was later released and allowed to go home. Hours later, the police stormed his home and laid siege around it. Dino says there are plans to kill him for speaking the truth to government.
