The statement said in full: ”The attention of the Nigeria Police has been drawn to the mix-up in the name of the home town of Senator Dino Melaye as Ayetoro-Gbede which was the venue of crime and where the attempted assassination / murder of the senator took place and not Iyala as was mistakenly stated in the press release. Iyara town is the headquarters of Ijumu Local Government Area of Kogi State.

“The Force regrets the mix-up which clearly was an oversight and implores the media, the good people of Kogi State and other critical stakeholders to take note and amend their records accordingly please.”
