DINO Melaye, a senator from Kogi State, on Friday, July 27, announced that he had regained his freedom.
On his twitter handle, @dino_melaye, he said: “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!!!”
Meanwhile, the Nigeria Police Force said it had not received any complaint or report in any of its Police stations or divisions throughout the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, or any other state of the federation of the kidnap of Melaye “from any of his family member, friend, associate or staff to indicate that the Senator has been kidnapped.”
A statement by Jimoh Moshood, spokesman of the force, said investigation had commenced into the purported kidnap and implored “any of his family members, relatives or friends who witnessed the kidnap or have information about the purported kidnap of the senator to report the incident at the nearest police station to assist the Police in the investigation.”
