Former Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has issued a strong warning to masterminds of the alleged assassination of the senator representing Kogi West senatorial district, Sen. Dino Melaye.
Melaye was said to be in an entourage conveying him from his hometown Ayetoro-Gbede to Isanlu in Yagba East when the incident occurred.
The unidentified men reportedly mounted roadblocks with a heavy truck and set up bonfire with tyres blocking anyone from entering the town.
Melaye’s convoy reportedly turned back to Ayetoro-Gbede on noticing the situation.
Like the arsonists, the alleged assassins have not been identified.
But reacting to the news of the alleged assassination of the senator, Fani-Kayode wondered why Melaye’s detractors were hellbent on killing him.
He warned them to leave the senator alone as killing him would not solve their problems.
The ex-minister said, “First you burn down the schools that Sen. Dino Melaye built as part of his constituency projects. Then you try to murder him by pumping his car with over 20 bullets. Killing him will not solve your problems or silence the opposition. It will only make things worse. Leave Dino alone!”
