In yet another
phone audiotape obtained exclusively by Saharareporters, he tells Muhammed
Audu, the son of late former Governor of Kogi State Abubakar Audu how he used
his connections with the police to frame someone referred to as “Edward”
(believed to be Edward Onoja, the Chief of Staff to the current Kogi State
Governor), in the alleged assassination attempt on him at his country home.
Senator Dino
Melaye has revealed how he deliberately framed others in his alleged
assassination case, using the police.
The Kogi
State Senator reported an assassination attempt on his life at his home in
Ijumu on April 15, and on April 29, the police paraded six persons, including
the chairman of Ijumu Local Government area, one Taofik Isah, who were
allegedly involved in the crime.
On the new
audiotape, Melaye, speaking mostly in Hausa, reveals to Muhammed that the
assassination story was carefully orchestrated to rope in his opponent, and how
his access to the highest echelons of the police facilitated his effort to
frame “Edward” in the alleged plot to assassinate him.
Only last
week, SaharaReporters published another audiotape in which Senator Melaye was
caught bribing Justice Akon Ikpeme of the Cross River State High Court in the
election petition tribunal process which brought him to the Senate two years
ago.
All the
persons alleged to have participated in the assassination are currently on bail.
