There was mild drama at the Senate on Wednesday, following the resumption to plenary of the embattled chairman Senate Committee on Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Dino Melaye, on Wednesday.
The senator’s resumption comes two weeks after he was granted bail by a Kogi State High Court sitting in Lokoja.
He was wearing a neck brace upon resumption.
Rising on Order 14 of the Senate Standing Orders, 2015 (as amended), the lawmaker said he was no longer comfortable sitting on the row of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and requested to sit on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) row.
He accused the police of attempting to kill him twice by administering chemical substance and injection in him.
His request was granted by Senate President Bukola Saraki, despite stiff opposition from APC lawmakers.
