SaharaReporters’ investigation revealed that Daniel Jonah Melaye’s name is also missing from the list of Geography (BA) 3rd Class category in the Joint Convocation Brochure of ABU which combined graduating students from 1998/1999-2000/2001 sessions.

ZENITHBLOG.com had earlier reported that ABU has since refused to confirm or deny Melaye’s graduation status saying it would await the outcome of a Senate investigation into the matter. Critics and opponents have accused Melaye of lying that he graduated from ABU and said he has no certificate to prove he graduated.
The lawmaker has, however, insisted he graduated from the university, one of Nigeria’s oldest universities.
Meanwhile, during the hearing, the Chairman Senator Samuel Anyanwu, having put Dino Melaye on oath, explained that there was a complaint against him by a colleague, Senator Ali Ndume that he was parading a questionable degree certificate from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.
While responding, Dino having tendered series of documents to support that he was a graduate of Ahmadu Bello University explained that he has also sworn affidavit as to conflicts in his names.”
Distinguished Senators, I have sworn affidavit to my name which reads, Daniel Jonah Melaye to Dino Melaye, because Jonah is actually my father’s name.”

He added: “Because I have become popular with Dino over times, I have decided to bear Dino Melaye and you could see that my admission to study Master’s degree bears Dino Melaye.”
One of the members of the committee, Senator Matthew Urhoghide noted that they could see statement of results with an affidavit and not the purported original degree from ABU.
