Former Kogi West Senator Dino Melaye made his first judicial appearance as a lawyer on Friday, following years in politics and public life.
The former lawmaker, dressed in a full wig and gown, appeared before Justice Emeka Nwite at Court 8 of the Federal High Court in Abuja, marking his first appearance 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 legislator was one of over 5,000 new attorneys admitted to the Abuja Bar in early July after finishing his law degree at Baze University.
During the eighth assembly, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain represented the Kogi West Senatorial District in the Senate.
The participation marks a new chapter in his career, which has included activism, reality television, and high-profile political positions in the House of Representatives and the Senate.
