The senator representing Kogi West escaped another assassination attempt at the Kabba Day celebration, just as unknown thugs pelted him with stones and other dangerous objects, PUNCH reports.
The governor, Yahaya Bello, who was billed to attend the event made a U-Turn from the venue.
According to PUNCH, Senator Melaye, who arrived the venue at about 11 ‘o’clock in the morning, was welcome by a crowd as he posed for photographs with supporters.
"The senator was then invited to make a speech and announce his donation before the arrival of the governor who was already in Kabba for the occasion.
"Shortly after Dino announced a donation of N3m cash, he headed for his car while some suspected thugs started throwing stones and other objects at him as he made way for his G-Wagon car".
PUNCH gathered that when the news of Dino’s attack reached the governor, he decided to boycott the event and instead, sent his donation of N20m on behalf of the state government.
The swift intervention of security personnel on ground saved the day, as one of the thugs was arrested and whisked away in prison van with registration number PS 300 A/O.
