Following the shocking arrest of Nigerian senator, Dino Melaye, another lawmaker has reacted.
Senator Ben Murray-Bruce
A Nigerian senator, Ben Murray-Bruce has called on the security authorities to release
senator Dino Melaye who was arrested at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on Monday morning.
Reacting on Twitter, Bruce wrote: "I call for the immediate and unconditional release of @dino_melaye. He is one of the few voices left that still speaks truth to power. Nigeria needs men like that and the Dino I know will not be cowed by arrest or persecution.
@dino_melaye played a major role in bringing this government into being. It will be very unfortunate if the sane government he fought for turns around to be the one fighting him. Let this be a lesson for anyone who is fighting for their 2nd term. After you are no longer useful.."
