Nigerians on Twitter have attacked the senator representing Kogi West Senatorial district Dino Melaye for alleging an attempt to his life by the Inspector general of police (IGP) Ibrahim Idris.

Mr Melaye made the allegation on Christmas day in a message on Twitter.

The controversial senator wrote that police officers had been deployed for the purpose already, adding that the IGP’s intention was to inject him to death.

“There is a plan by the IG to arrest me today and inject me to death. Men deployed already. CP kogi and others removed. Nigerians watch out,” Melaye wrote.

The senator had made similar claims in March when he was arrested for an alleged offence and moved to Kogi State for trial.

Melaye had said then that the Nigerian Police and Kogi State government were planning to assassinate him using lethal injection.

However, the senator may not have wished for the kind of replies he got as Nigerian Twitter users have dragged him for making such allegation.
