Senator Melaye made this known on Tuesday through his verified twitter handle. His tweet read  "I will make myself available to the police today. My resolve to speak the truth and defend the poor masses of NIGERIA is Total. We shall overcome!!!"


Recall that on Monday, Dino was arrested by officials of the Nigerian Immigration Service at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport on his way to Morocco for an official assignment. The officials had claimed that his arrest was 'based on instruction'.
