Senator Dino Melaye, representing west has been kidnapped.
This is according to Ben Murray-Bruce, senator representing Bayelsa east.
Murray-Bruce quoted his colleague’s younger brother as saying a car blocked the vehicle in which Melaye was travelling in 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.
The development comes 24 hours after a court in Abuja granted the lawmaker a N5 million bail after the police arraigned him for attempted suicide.
Melaye is among the over 50 federal legislators who pulled out of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday.
