Former Minister of Aviation Femi Fani-Kayode has condemned the abduction of Senator Dino Melaye (PDP-Kogi West) by unknown gunmen.
Famzn News had reported that the lawmaker was attacked by gunmen on his way to Kogi State to appear in court over his trial on alleged gunrunning.
Senator Ben Murray-Bruce (PDP-Bayelsa East) had confirmed the abduction of Dino Melaye around Gwagwalada area, Abuja.
Reacting in a post on his Twitter page, Fani-Kayode called on the kidnappers of the lawmaker to release him unhurt.
He wrote: “I wholeheartedly condemn the abduction of Dino Melaye.
“I implore those that have kidnapped him to return him home safely to his family and loved ones.
“I urge the Federal Government to do its job and protect the Nigerian people before it is too late.”
You may recall that Melaye was among the 14 Senators that recently defected from the All Progressives Congress to the Peoples Democratic Party.
