The senator representing Bayelsa East, Ben Murray-Bruce, said that his colleague representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye, has been kidnapped.
Murray-Bruce said the younger brother of Melaye informed him about the development.
But the Police in Kogi through William Aya, spokesman of the Kogi command, said he could not confirm the abduction.
“We are not aware of anything like that. Nothing of such has been reported.”
However, Murray-Bruce quoted Melaye’s younger brother as saying a car blocked the vehicle in which Melaye was travelling in en route Kogi, while the senator was overpowered and forced into a Toyota Sienna.

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.
He was among the senators who dumped their party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday.
