Senator Oluremi Tinubu Monday wrote to acting Inspector General of Police Ibrahim Idris requesting adequate security following last week’s attack on her by Senator Dino Melaye.
In the letter dated July 18, with the title: Request for police protection, the Lagos Central senator, said: “During the proceedings of the Senate on Tuesday July 14, 2016, I had a cause to contribute to a matter of national importance.
“Apparently dissatisfied by 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 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 provocation whatsoever.
“In view of Senator Melaye’s antecedent, particularly in the House of Representatives where a brawl led by him led to untimely death of a member, I have decided to not ignore his threat to my life. Therefore, I am compelled to urge you to use your good offices to provide me with adequate security.”
