After a grueling six-year legal battle, former Nigerian Senator Dino Melaye has emerged victorious.

Justice Sylvanus Oriji of the FCT High Court in Maitama delivered the verdict, clearing Melaye of two charges related to providing false information about an alleged assassination attempt on his life in 2017.

Melaye took to social media to express his gratitude and praise divine justice, saying:

“I take life as it comes, but in all the vicissitudes of life, I trust in God only. He is always with the just.”

He also posted:

“Justice served after six years. Justice delayed is never justice denied. God alone be praised. SEN. DINO MELAYE 12 – FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND IGP 0. 12 CASES ALL WON BY GOD.”

Melaye’s legal troubles began in 2017 with an alleged assassination attempt. He was accused of falsely implicating Edward Onoja, then-Chief of Staff to Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello. The Attorney General’s Office formally charged Melaye in February 2018, and he pleaded not guilty on March 1, 2018.

Melaye’s victory marks the end of a long and tumultuous legal battle, with 12 cases resolved in his favor.
