VIDEO: Melaye Makes First Court Appearance As Lawyer

Former Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye, on Friday, made his first courtroom appearance as a lawyer, stepping into legal practice after years in politics and public life.

Dressed in a full wig and gown, Melaye appeared before Justice Emeka Nwite at Court 8 of the Federal High Court, Abuja, marking his debut since being called to the Nigerian Bar.

“Senator Dino Melaye at the Federal High Court Abuja today. Appeared before Justice Emeka Nwite of Court 8,” Melaye shared on his verified Facebook page on Friday.

The former lawmaker was among over 5,000 new lawyers called to the Bar in Abuja in early July, following his completion of a law degree at Baze University.

The chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party represented the Kogi West Senatorial District in the Senate during the 8th Assembly.

The appearance signals a new chapter for Melaye, whose career has spanned activism, reality television, and high-profile political roles in the House of Representatives and the Senate.
