24 hours after reports of his kidnap was reported by Nigerian Senator, Ben Murray Bruce, Nigerian lawmaker, Dino Melaye has surfaced saying,
‘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’.
However, Nigerians are not buying the ‘kidnap’ story and social media is currently on fire with mixed reactions to his story.
See some reactions below,
After ‘kidnapping’ and releasing yourself? You are one of Nigeria’s main problems and the God, that you use his name to support your continuous lies, will answer our prayers shortly. You are a man of no honour. A disgrace not only to Nigeria, but the black race in General.

@dino_melaye is the reason why being young alone is no yardstick for having sense or being a good leader. This guy became a legislator in his 30s. Look at him now. Shame!

Congratulations on your escape from kidnappers, @dino_melaye
They can try but won't succeed.
You will keep standing strong, and speaking for the 'masses.'
Don't mind the naysayers who say you're faking. They're haters. Do they think it's easy to fake a kidnap?
Smh.

"I spent 11 hours in the wilderness as God saved me from kidnappers" @dino_melaye
*I am lost for words. Seriously? Now I believe that so called siege on @bukolasaraki's residence was part of a larger scam. This guys don't care if Nigeria burns. It is ridiculous pic.twitter.com/ikMMq6wJ1T

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.

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
