The Kogi state chairman of the Association of Local
Governments of Nigeria, ALGON, Mr. Toufiq Isah, has
called on the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission EFCC, and other anti-corruption agencies to
investigate and prosecute Senator Dino Melaye for
allegedly stealing items meant for Internally Displaced
Persons, IDPs, in the North West on December, to his
home town Ayetoro-Gbede.
Toufig said this on Monday in a interview with newsmen
‘Daily Post’ in his home town Okoro–Gbede in
Ijimu, concerning an alleged attempt to assassinate Sen.
Dino Melaye in his house, which Melaye accused him of
chairing the plans to kill him. According to Toufig, Dino
entered Ayetoro with policemen shooting guns
sporadically to scare people. Toufig said that Melaye has
turned the story around to claim that he was attacked.
” It is Melaye’s responsibility to protect the lives and
properties of his people, in-tandem with improved living
standard, but if he can not do it he should allow them to
have peace instead of causing unnecessary distraction”.

However, Toufig called on the EFCC to investigate and
prosecute Dino accordingly for taking to his house items
meant for IDP’s. He stressed that Dino has never
empowered anybody in Okunland since he became a
Senator representing the Zone. On the IDP’s items Dino
usurped he said “I am using this medium to call on the
EFCC and the Presidency to investigate how items
meant for IDPs in the North-east got to the hand of a
senator who ordinarily is supposed to contribute to
ameliorate the sufferings of the people.
“The items, according to information, were packed in his
house at Ayetoro- Gbede. EFCC should also investigate
and uncover the staff of NEMA who might have aided
and abated Dino in that shoddy deal.
“If you go to some villages, within our local government
area, you will notice dearth of basic social amenities.
“The Governor Yahaya Bello-led administration has made
it compulsory to all the councils’ administrators to go
down to the hinterlands and touch people’s lives
positively through the New Direction Agenda of the
government, and that is exactly what I am doing in my
council area” he added.
