ABUJA- THE Force Headquarters has maintained sealed lips on Thursday’s early morning reported abduction of the senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Dino Melaye, by unknown gunmen.

Melaye was reported to have been abducted at gunpoint by some men suspected to be political thugs, at Gwagwalada area of the nation’s federal capital city.

The Force was yet to respond to Vanguard’s inquiry on whether the police have established the abduction of the senator whose whereabouts was yet to be ascertained as at the time of filing this report.

Jimoh Moshood, the Force Public Relations Officer, did not pick several calls made to his known telephone number just as he did not reply to the text message sent to him on the line.

But on its part, the Federal Capital Territory, FCT Police Command, feigned ignorance of the abduction, saying so far such information was not at its disposal.

Its image maker, Anjuguri Manzah, an Assistant Superintendent of Police, ASP while responding to an inquiry made on the telephone, insisted that the command was yet to receive any information to that effect.

“The FCT Police Command has not received any information to the effect that Senator Dino Melaye is abducted, “he said.
