Nigeria police re-arrests ‘millionaire kidnapper’ freed by soldiers

ABUJA, Aug 21 (NNN-AFRICANEWS) — Police in Nigeria have re-arrested a notorious kidnapper who was weeks back forcibly released by soldiers from detention.

Alhaji Hamisu Bala Wadume, was arrested on Monday by police operatives at his hideout in the north-central Kano State.

It would be recalled that the police had been on the massive manhunt for Wadume since Aug 6 following the unfortunate incident in Ibi, Taraba State which resulted in the shooting dead of three police officers and two civilians by army ‘rescuers’.

The police had in early August made public demand for the army to come clean on the whereabouts of the kidnapper and also demanded justice for their slain officers.

After a meeting with security service chiefs, President Buhari ordered an investigation into the circumstances that led to the deadly clashes. The committee has yet to present its results. — NNN-AFRICANEWS
