| Dino Melaye Escapes Assassin’s Bullet |
A former Nigerian federal lawmaker, Dino Melaye,
Monday night escaped assassin’s bullet in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city.
Mr. Melaye, was attacked in the high-brow Central Business District of the city, while making his way home.He said the attackers, driving in a Golf car, crossed his car near the NNPC towers and immediately began shooting at him.
He said two bullets hit his car before he managed to escape unharmed.
“I am safe,” he said.
Mr. Melaye, a former member of the Peoples Democratic Party, shortly after leaving the National Assembly, switched to the opposition flank, actively leading the January 2012 fuel subsidy protest.
He has since then remained an anti-corruption activist and known for his criticism of the Nigerian government.
“When you fight corruption, corruption fights back strongly,” he said, blaming the attack on his anti-corruption stance.
But the question is, ‘who wants Dino Melaye Dead?
