Senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye, on Monday, took to Twitter to vent his anger on Sahara Reporters over claims that he does not hold a university certificate.
Sahara Reporters had earlier claimed that the senator did not graduate from the Department of Geography from the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria.
The Sowore Omoyele-led media outlet further alleged that the Head of the Department Prof. David Okoro Ogbonna assisted Dino Melaye forge his transcript.

In a swift response Dino challenged Sahara Reporters to take the case to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and prosecute him if their claims are true. He said he is not surprised by their allegations as they are used to reporting fake news, while he revealed that he is currently pursuing his 7th degree in ABU.
Sahara Reporters please sue me and ABU if it is true that I did not graduate from Zaria. Tell Magu to arrest me and prosecute me.
