Former Senator Dino Melaye, who represented Kogi West Senatorial District, has been cleared in a long-standing legal case against the Federal Government.
The case, which began in February 2018, involved accusations that Melaye falsely implicated Edward Onoja, the then Chief of Staff to Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello, in an assassination plot. After years of legal proceedings and delays, including the passing of Justice Aromeh Benson Akogu, the presiding judge, in December 2017, the case has finally come to an end.
