The Senator representing Kogi West at the National Assembly, Dino Melaye slumped as he entered the Special Anti-Robbery Squad headquarters in Abuja.
In a video, Melaye is seen being helped into the vehicle by some people around him, with some saying, "Give him water."
On arrival at the Force HQ, the video shows him being helped out of the vehicle by two persons who take him into an office, where he is laid on the floor.
It would seem that the senator had an asthma attack as he was seen wheezing and coughing hard and his lawyer, Mike Ozekhome frantically rushes to administer his inhaler to him.
The police laid siege to Mr Melaye's house last week Friday after the lawmaker allegedly refused to appear before the police for questioning. He is wanted for his alleged role in the shooting of a police officer who is still in the hospital, the police said.
Authorities say the embattled Senator is pretending to be ill. Police spokesman, Jimoh Moshood says all tests conducted on the Senator proved negative.
