Unknown gunmen reportedly abduct Senator Dino Melaye
July 26, 2018
As the 2019 general election draws near, a lot is happening – and not happening – on Nigeria’s political scene.
The latest in what has been a merry-go-round of events involving politicians is the alleged abduction of Senator Dino Melaye on his way to Kogi State this morning.
The incident was made made known by Senator Ben Murray-Bruce via his Twitter Wednesday morning.
“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,” Murray-Bruce wrote.
While we cannot independently verify the report, there are concerns that the latest incident might be another political gimmick.
