Dino Melaye Reatcs to Reports that he Didn't Graduate from the University

Dino Melaye, the senator representing Kogi West at the National Assembly is in for another controversy following a revelation that he never graduated from the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria as is being claimed.

                      

The senator recently alerted Nigerians that there were plans to carry fictitious allegations against him by the EFCC [see here].

   Melaye thinks this move was being planned to get him to face the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) because he was a major factor that stood against the confirmation of Ibrahim Magu as chairman of the anti-corruption organisation.

  In a series of tweets on social media,  Sahara Reporters claims  Melaye never graduated from the department of geography from ABU.

    The report also claims that the DSS was alerted over this but that the security agency covered it up and allowed the man blossom.

    “At least three exam officers at ABU, Zaria insists that @dino_melaye never graduated from geography department, DG DSS alerted but covered it up,” the report said.

 

    They said Dino's name was not on graduation list and further accused him of bribing his head of department.

    Wikipedia reports that Dino Melaye graduated with a Bsc in geography from Ahmadu Bello University Zaria adding that about 30 undergraduates are currently enjoying scholarship under his education empowerment fund.

    

Meanwhile, the senator in  reacting to the allegations by  Sahara Reporters took to his twitter handle to say "SR you and your fake documents. I'm presently a student of ABU pursuing my 7th degree. Go round all the UNIS I attended in digging more.

"I can't be cowed. Still waiting for Sahara to indict me. What happened to the foreign account you reported I have. Na una go tire.

"Sahara Reporters please sue me and ABU if it is true that I did not graduate from Zaria. Tell Magu to arrest me and prosecute me".  he said.
