The Chairman, Senate Committee on Women Affairs, Senator Oluremi Tinubu has petitioned Senate President Bukola Saraki, and the Chairman of APC, Chief John Odigie Oyegun, saying that her colleague, Senator Dino Melaye, should be disciplined for threatening to rape her. In the letter dated 19th July, 2016, Senator Tinubu asked the Senate President and the Senate to punish Melaye because he remains a danger to her and the senate at large, alleging that Senator Melaye has promised twice within one week to attack her. In her words, Tinubu who is the wife of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, APC National Leader, said, “I am both a ranking Senator and a woman. But Senator Melaye took neither into consideration as he issued threats of rape and assault, whiIe boasting that he would face no consequence even if he fulfilled these criminal threats.”
