Nasir Ajanah said the police health centre is not sufficiently equipped and cannot care for Melaye, who took ill after jumping out of a moving police vehicle last Tuesday.
A Magistrate Court in Lokoja had on Thursday refused the senator bail and asked him to be kept in Police custody until June 11. The Chief Magistrate Sulyman Abdullah had said Dino should be remanded in police custody but the Inspector-General of Police must ensure his health does not deteriorate.
It remains unclear, however, whether the senator is being treated for the injuries he sustained following the attempted escape or other medical complications.
The case was then adjourned to May 7th.
