Former Nigerian Senator who represented the Kogi West Senatorial District, Dino Melaye has been acquitted in the twelfth and final case against him by the Federal Government of Nigeria.
This lengthy legal battle began six years ago, in February 2018 when Melaye faced accusations of falsely implicating Edward Onoja, the then-chief of Staff, to Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello in the assassination plot.
According to him, Justice Sylvanus Oriji delivered the verdict at the FCT High Court in Maitama, clearing Melaye of two-count charge of providing false information concerning an alleged assassination attempt on his life in 2017.
Taking to social media platform, X on Monday, to celebrate the verdict, Melaye expressed his gratitude towards his legal team and emphasised his unwavering faith in divine justice.
“I take life as it comes, but in all the vicissitudes of life, I trust in God only. He is always with the just,” he stated.
“Justice served after six years. Justice delayed is never justice denied. God alone be praised. SEN. DINO MELAYE 12 – FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND IGP 0. 12 CASES ALL WON BY GOD.”
