Dino Melaye abducted by unknown persons – Ben Murray-Bruce
Senator Dino Melaye, representing Kogi West in the upper chamber of the National Assembly, has reportedly been kidnapped.
Common sense senator, Ben Murray-Bruce made this known on Thursday morning via his Twitter handle, stating that Dino’s car was blocked by “a Toyota Sienna that blocked their car and overpowered them on their way to Kogi to answer to Dino’s court case.”
I have just been informed by Moses Melaye, @dino_melaye’s brother, 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. Lets be on the watch out. Will keep you updated.

Senator Melaye was billed to appear today in a Senior Magistrate court where he is being tried with two others for illegal possession of firearms.
The defense counsel told the Court that Melaye was attacked in the Gwagwalada area of Abuja hence his inability to appear in court. The trial was adjourned to August 9.
Ever the thespian that he is, Dino Melaye’s alleged abduction has failed to garner concern from Nigerians on social media. See the reactions:
I’m willing to bet good money, Dino Melaye staged that kidnapp.

Plot twist… What if Dino Melaye planned his own kidnap just to gain public sympathy?

Just heard Senator Dino Melaye has been kidnapped by some gunmen in a Sienna… As much as this may be true, I don’t believe it. Even if I see videos and pictures, I still won’t believe and that’s not my fault, is it?

It has been another epic year for music star, Davido following his sold out concerts in and outside the continent and back to back hit tracks; but the BET Best International Act award-winning singer has announced that he’s just recorded the biggest feature of his career, one that is bound to change his life.
How much longer before we find out who he has just collaborated with? Sigh!
