The incident reportedly happened in Abuja, with the Senator on his way to Kogi state.
Sen. Ben Murray Bruce, took to his Twitter to raise alarm, stating: I have just been informed by moses melaye the brother of @dinomelaye that Dino has been abducted by unknown persons in a Toyota Sienna that blocked their car and overpowered them on their way to Kogi to answer to Dino’s court case. let’s be on the watch, will keep you updated”
New reports from the Sun reveal that the Nigerian police claim that they have no idea of an abduction for Dino Melaye and that if indeed the senator was abducted, they have not been informed of it
According to a short statement by the Public relations officer of the command, Anjuguri Mamza “We do not have any report about the kidnap of Senator Dino Melaye,”
The Police and Dino Melaye have had something of a strained relationship with the Senator arrested over claims that he was the mastermind behind political violence in his state. During his transport, he tried to run for it, injuring himself in the process before being rushed to the hospital.
