He said the IGP wants to expose him to make it easy for his enemies to kill him.
Kogi lawmaker, Senator Dino Melaye has taken to social media to allege that the recent announcement of the withdrawal of police officers from protecting politicians is an attempt by the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, to make him an easier target for political killers.
While meeting with senior police officers in Abuja on Monday, March 19, 2018, the IGP issued a directive for the withdrawal of all police officers attached to individuals and political and public office holders nationwide to be withdrawn in light of recent security challenges.
Shortly after the announcement, Senator Melaye, representing Kogi West senatorial district, took to his official Twitter page (@dino_melaye), to allege that the IGP wants to expose him after his string of public clashes with the police and the Kogi State government.
He posted, "Withdrawal of police from VIP I am the target. IG want to expose me so I can be killed. Having survived Assassination attempt twice I deserve police protection in a country where I’m a tax payer. No amount of lies and blackmail will detract my attention from speaking the truth and defending it.
"Fabricated lies by Kogi State Govt and the police will fail. It's utterly laughable and preposterous. It's a sign of desperation."
