Senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye has been rearrested early hours of today (Tuesday).

Security agents had besieged Melaye’s residence on Monday after he was earlier released by operatives of Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS).

The Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) had on Monday confirmed the arrest of Melaye at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on Monday morning.

On Tuesday, reports say Melaye was rearrested and immediately moved to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) Headquarters, Guzape, Abuja.

Spokesman of the Service, Mr Sunday James, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that Melaye was arrested by Immigration officials “based on instruction”.

The confirmation came hours after the senator, who represents Kogi West, announced the arrest on his Twitter handle at 7:32 a.m.

“I have just been arrested at the international wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport on my way to Morocco for an official engagement sponsored by the Federal Government after checking in,” he tweeted.

The police recently declared Melaye wanted after he was accused of supplying arms to some murder suspects, who allegedly implicated him.

Melaye denies the allegations, which he describes as politically motivated.

The senator was later freed at the airport but was trailed to his Maitama residence by the police.
