The operatives of the Nigeria Police have re-arrested the notorious
kidnap kingpin, Alhaji Hamisu Bala Wadume.
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.
It would be recalled that the Police had been on the massive manhunt for
the suspect, Alhaji Hamisu Bala Wadume since 6th August, 2019 following
the unfortunate incident in Ibi, Taraba State which resulted in the
brutal murder of three (3) Police Officers and two (2) civilians, and
injury to five (5) others.
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.
Meanwhile, the Inspector General of Police, IGP M.A Adamu, NPM,mni
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.
