Melaye made the disclosure while announcing his intention to move his seat from the All Progressives Congress wing of the chambers to the Peoples Democratic Party's wing.

"The Nigerian police attempted to kill me twice, one through the application of a chemical substance and the second time through injection. They actually came with an injection but God intervened," he said.

Melaye proceeded to thank the members of the senate and well meaning Nigerians for standing by him. Afterward, he walked to the opposition wing to take a seat next to Senator Ben Bruce.
