Dino Melaye Was Never Kidnapped - Sahara Reporters

Following the news of the abduction of Kogi state Senator Dino Melaye, Melaye’s relatives and many of his colleagues in the Senate have reportedly disclosed  that he was never kidnapped but only staged a walk into a bush to avoid being charged before a Kogi High Court.

According to SaharaReporters, the senator representing Kogi West,Dino Melaye who resurfaced on Friday after his alleged abduction with claims he “spent 11 hours in the wilderness” was never kidnapped.

It was gathered that Melaye was scheduled to be arraigned on Thursday before the Magistrate court in Abuja for alleged gunrunning, but the trial could not hold due to the claims by Senator Ben Bruce, quoting Melaye’s brother, that he had been abducted by unknown gunmen.

“I thank God once again for escaping another dangerous attack. I also thank Nigerians for their prayers and show of Love. Spent 11 hours in the wilderness traumatized but God preserved me. God is the best and in whom ONLY I trust. They will continue to try. WE SHALL OVERCOME!!!” The senator wrote on Twitter on Friday.

And contrary to those claims, Melaye’s relatives and many of his colleagues in the Senate have stressed that he was never kidnapped but only staged a walk into a bush to avoid being charged before a Kogi High Court.
