‘Dino has released Melaye’, ‘A Wale Adenuga production’ — reactions to return of Kogi senator from ‘wilderness’

Dino Melaye, senator representing Kogi west, says he regained his freedom after spending 11 hours in the “wilderness”.

The senator was allegedly abducted in Abuja on Thursday.

Ben Bruce, senator representing Bayelsa east, had raised the alarm on “Melaye’s kidnap” but the police said it could not confirm.

However on Friday, Melaye tweeted that he had regained freedom, thanking Nigerians for their prayers.

Below are reactions from Twitter and Facebook:

Dino Melaye was 'kidnapped' and his brother called Ben Bruce instead of Police. Poorly scripted Political Movie… Call it Pollywood.

What if @dino_melaye have been sponsoring all the attacks on his constituency projects and masterminded his kidnap to evade appearance, all in the name of garnering public sympathy from some Nigerians?

Drama king, Dino Melaye has announced his return on twitter barely 24 hours after claims he was abducted surfaced online. Will he be 'abducted' again on the next date he is expected to appear in court? We wait as the drama continue to unfold.

How convenient to get kidnapped just on your to a court hearing you have previously attempted to shun or dodge? Well done o, Oga @dino_melaye. May God keep you safe for us. And especially for Lady Justice!

I thought @benmurraybruce is now streetwise; how come he didn't announce the escape of @dino_melaye? For all we know Alabi Yellow may well know whats up but decided to just play along, after all, Dino is a new PDP convert. Crazy drama

The shameless antics of Dino Melaye will only end up costing the PDP the votes of neutrals. Such foolishness is bound to be a concern for voters & these recurring embarrassments will be a stain on whoever associates with Dino

I'm sure Dino Melaye's children will be ashamed of the type of papa they have. Common sense is not common at all. #ThisIsNigeria

My uncle @dino_melaye is alive and well, I can finally sleep. The man singlehandedly fought "dangerous" kidnappers and freed himself. We experience miracles like this when elections are near. To God be the glory pic.twitter.com/AG13kONtX7
