Senator Dino Melaye has said the police decided to come after him for political reasons.
Melaye offered the explanation in a telephone interview he had with newsmen on Friday after the invasion of his house by policemen.
He accused the Kogi State Government of being behind the plot to arrest him for political reasons.
Melaye said he is free to support any candidate of his choice and cannot be silent or coerced to support anybody.
Melaye said if the summon by the police to him was in Abuja, he would have honoured it.
