Senator representing Kogi west, Dino Melaye was on Thursday stranded at a high court in Maitama, Abuja.
The federal government had earlier arraigned Melaye for allegedly framing up Edward Onoja, chief of staff of Yahaya Bello, governor of Kogi state.
The senator was accused of deliberately giving false information to the police that Onoja was involved in an attempt to assassinate him.
But the court granted him bail in the sum of N100,000.
However, operatives of the special anti-robbery squad (SARS) were said to have prevented him from leaving the court premises.

Findings revealed that about 30 armed operatives were on guard, apparently waiting to arrest him.
However, it was later revealed that the Senator was sneaked out of the court.
