kidnap kingpin in Taraba State, Alhaji Hamisu Bala Wadume has been re-arrested
by the Nigerian police.
He was re-arrested in the
late hours of yesterday, 19th August, 2019 in his hideout at Layin Mai Allo
Hotoro area of Kano State.

massive manhunt for the suspect since 6th August, 2019 following the
unfortunate incident in Ibi, Taraba State which resulted in the brutal murder
of three Police Officers and two civilians, and injury to five others.

arrest and release by soldiers:
The suspect, who was
appropriately restrained at the time of the incident, was subsequently released
by his “rescuers” after they had destroyed the restraining handcuffs.
The Inspector General of
Police, IGP M.A Adamu while commending the Police operatives for their
perseverance and painstaking efforts, has expressed his profound gratitude to
all Nigerians for their unparalleled show of love and empathy to the Force and
the families of the officers and patriotic civilians who paid the supreme price
in the service of their fatherland.
“It is his belief that the
re-arrest of the suspect, Alhaji Hamisu Bala Wadume, will no doubt, help in
bringing answers to the numerous but hitherto unanswered questions touching on
the incident and the larger criminal enterprise of the suspect”, said Adamu,
according to a statement by spokesman, Frank Mba.
