In the words of Dino Melaye,
“When the police pension fund was stolen, we protested on behalf of the police; we were not arrested. When we protested against the theft of fuel subsidy fund, we were not arrested. Now that we are protesting the theft of the nation’s money by the action of the minister, who used Nigeria’s money to buy armoured cars in the midst of lack, we are under arrest. The money was not budgeted for, not appropriated. The protest affects everybody; the police are also affected because they are taxpayers. I’m also a taxpayer.”Melaye and others were arrested around 11am at the Federal Secretariat, Abuja.
