The police have handcuffed Senator Dino Melaye to a hospital bed at the National Hospital, Abuja.
Visitors were also not allowed to see the embattled senator, representing Kogi West who was forcefully ejected by the police from a private medical facility, Zankli Hospital and taken to the National Hospital, where he was admitted to the Trauma Centre on Tuesday night, Punch reports.
Some senators who visited him on Wednesday were also stopped by the police from entering the ward where Melaye was being cared for.
The embattled senator had allegedly escaped from police custody on Tuesday while forcefully being taken to Lokoja, Kogi State.
It is alleged that police operatives manhandled him as a result, leaving him injured.

The lawmaker was taken in a police ambulance marked NPF 221 D around 10pm.
Two doctors from the hospital were also reportedly taken away by the police.
The National Hospital spokesman, Dr. Tayo Haastrup, confirmed to the newspaper that Melaye was admitted to the hospital on Tuesday night.
