Embattled Senator, Mr. Dino Melaye said on Friday that he escaped an attack, almost 24 hours after his associates claimed he was kidnapped in Abuja.
Melaye said on Twitter at about 11:00 a.m. Friday that he escaped an attack on him, saying he would continue to prevail over his enemy.
Concerns about Mr Melaye’s whereabouts were first raised by Mr. Ben Murray-Bruce, one of his closest colleagues at the Senate.
Melaye was said to have been kidnapped on his way to Lokoja from Abuja to appear in an ongoing criminal trial.
But some Nigerians countered that the controversial senator might have faked his kidnap to avoid going to court.
