The Senator has been granted a N90 million bail |
According to report, sources close to the senator said that he was arraigned at a Magistrate’s Court in Lokoja Thursday morning.
Mr Melaye had fought all attempts to take him to Lokoja to stand trial, including approaching the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court for an order prohibiting the police from taking him out of Abuja. He has expressed concern for his safety in Kogi.
He was driven to Lokoja at about 4:30 a.m. by officers and they arrived there at about 7:00 a.m.
It was not immediately clear why he was arraigned before another Magistrate’s Court in Lokoja. The police have consistently stated that he was being sought on criminal charges which ranged armed robbery to murder.
Mr Melaye was taken to court in an ambulance.
