Police operatives have moved Senator Dino Melaye out of the Zankli hospital to the National Hospital, Abuja.
The lawmaker was taken in an ambulance marked NPF 221 D around 10pm on Tuesday.
Two medical doctors with the Zanklin Hospital Abuja were said to have accompanied the senator who was said to be unconscious.
Recall that Melaye landed in hospital after reportedly jumping out of a moving police vehicle in Abuja.
Speaking on the struggle police had with Melaye, Force Public Relations Officer, Jimoh Moshood, said in a statement: “At about 1200Hrs of today Sen. Dino Melaye while in lawful custody of the Nigeria Police Force and being taken for arraignment in Federal High Court Lokoja, from Abuja, escaped from lawful custody when hoodlums and miscreants in Two (2) Toyota Hilux Vehicles blocked the Police vehicle conveying Senator Dino Melaye around Area 1 Round About, Abuja and in the process the Senator jumped out of the Police vehicle through the window and was rescued from the Police men by hoodlums and miscreants to an unknown destination.
“The Police team re-enforced and trailed Senator Dino Melaye to Zankli Hospital, Abuja where he was re-arrested.”
Mr Moshood added that the senator would be arraigned in court without further delay.
“Meanwhile, one of the Toyota Hilux vehicles used by the hoodlums and miscreants in aiding the escape of the Senator has been recovered by the Police investigation team.
“The Inspector General of Police has therefore directed a thorough investigation into the circumstances leading to the rescue and escape of Senator Dino Melaye from lawful custody,” the statement concluded.
