A former Nigerian lawmaker, Dino Melaye, whose claim of an assassination attempt in Abuja was discredited by the police, has accused the force of unprofessionalism.
Mr.
Melaye said he expected the reaction countering his claims from the
police following his earlier assessment of their reaction to his
complaints.
“I am not surprised at what the commissioner of police said,” he declared.
Mr.
Melaye questioned how the police, who got to the scene of the incident
12 hours after the attack – expected to find evidence.
He
accused the police of negligence saying they prepared a full report on
the incident without admitting his statement and assessing damages on
his car.
He agreed that his car
windows are not bullet proof, as already stated by the police, but
argued that they are double-placed-treated glasses only penetrable by
close range shots.
He said the police have consistently ignored calls for protection following previous threats to his life.
“I wrote to them in January and September 2012 complaining of threats to my life and up till now, nothing happened,” he said.
