People’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in 2023 Kogi State Governorship elections, Senator Dino Melaye has accused former Governor Yahaya Bello of hiding in the state’s government house kitchen to evade arrest by EFCC.
An elated Senator, who was reacting to his legal victory after six years, made this revelation on his X handle on Tuesday.
Melaye wrote; “After 6 years of legal battle with the Federal Government and IGP on 12 different frivolous cases, just to silence me and drown my voice.
“The last of the 12 cases was decided yesterday and I won it just like the other 11 before it. I was humiliated and detained 436 days between 2017 and 2019.
“Truth will always remain constant and for me it is a no retreat,no surrender situation. I will continue to speak the truth despite all odds.
“In an unjust society, silence is crime. Truth have no volume.
“I was humiliated and escaped 4 assassination attempts, to the glory of God, I am here today bouncing and making progress.
“No amount of threat, arrest or humiliation will break Dino because if you speak the truth, you will die,if you lie you will die, it is better to speak the truth and die.
“Bello, (Yahaya) who instigated these charges is a hunter, who has now become the hunted, hiding inside his successor’s agbada or taking cover in the coven and the oven of Government House kitchen, to escape arrest.
“This is what it means to be law-abiding. When your innocence is questioned, be available to prove your innocence.
“When you evade common invitation, resist arrest, or refuse to appear in court, you have pronounced yourself guilty!
“Truly, the guilty is afraid.
“Bello should do the right thing by showing up to explain how N110B moved from the state coffers to his pocket. That is the definition of good citizenship.”
