Senator Oluremi Tinubu has applied for police protection, following her issues
with Dino Melaye. In a letter dated July 18 and received same date by the
office of the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, Mrs Tinubu said her
life was no longer safe following her fight with Senator Melaye. The letter
entitled: Request for Police Protection’ reads:
"I am Senator Oluremi Tinubu, representing the Lagos Central Senatorial
District of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
"During the proceedings of the Senate
on Tuesday, July 14, 2016, I had cause to contribute to a matter of national
importance. Apparently dissatisfied with my contributions, Senator Dino Melaye
threw caution to the winds, resorted to vulgar abuse of my person and wanted
to assault me.
"It was the timely intervention of a number of colleagues which prevented
Senator Melaye from unleashing physical attack on me. However, as the
leadership of the Senate did not call him to order in the circumstance, he
proceeded to threaten my life without any provocation whatsoever.
"In view of Senator Melaye’s antecedent particularly in the House of
Representatives where a brawl led to the untimely death of a member, I have
decided not to ignore his threat to my life. Therefore, I'm compelled to urge
you to use your good offices to provide me with adequate security.
"Please accept the assurances of my regards and esteem."
