Civil Society Network Against Corruption (CSNAC), an anti-corruption coalition, has called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to probe Senator Dino Melaye over his “flamboyant and opulent lifestyle”. In the petition signed by Olanrewaju Suraju, the chairman of CSNAC, the group mentioned several instances of questionable wealth belonging to the senator representing Kogi West senatorial district.
