The Federal High Court adjudicating from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Abuja on Thursday rejected an application for an order directing the police to remove their men from Senator Dino Melaye’s Abuja residence.

A detachment of policemen had been occupying the senator’s premises for about a week in their bid to arrest him for an alleged crime.

Ruling on an ex parte application filed by Melaye seeking an order ending the police occupation of his premises, Justice N. E Maha refused to grant the application but chose to grant an accelerated hearing in the main suit.
