Justice Sylvanus Oriji of the Federal Capital High Court in Maitama has cleared Melaye of two charges of providing false information concerning an alleged assassination attempt on his life in 2017.
This legal battle began in February 2018 when Melaye faced accusations of falsely implicating Edward Onoja, the then Chief of Staff to Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello, in the alleged assassination plot.
