Sources close to the Kogi State Police Command disclosed on Monday that a
black jeep suspected to have been used for the operation alongside a
cache of ammunition was found by the State Criminal Investigation
Department.
The sources further disclosed that the seven suspects were arrested at
different locations while the black jeep and the ammunition had been
impounded by the Kogi State Police Command.
It was also gathered that security agents were still hunting for the
remaining suspects while the command had ordered the Administrator of
Ijumu Local Government Area, Taofiq Isa, to report to the Kogi State
Police Command.

The Kogi State Police Public Relations Officer, William Ayah, while reacting to the report said investigation was still on.
Isa had been accused by Melaye of being the mastermind of the attempt on his life.
The LGA administrator, however, denied having a hand in the
assassination attempt on Melaye, saying he was busy on the day of the
incident attending to his sick wife and supervising the All Progressives
Congress’ re-registration exercise.
Isa had said, “I’ve never been a violent man. My running battle with Dino if any is because I have asked him to stop vilifying the state Governor, Yahaya Bello.”
