The operatives of the Nigeria Police IRT have rearrested the notorious kidnap kingpin, Alhaji Hamisu Bala Wadume.
He was rearrested in the late hours of yesterday Monday, 19th August, 2019 in his hideout at Layin Mai Allo Hotoro area of Kano State.
According to the Force Public Relations Officer,DCP Frank Mba, Police had been on the massive manhunt for the suspect since Tuesday, August 6, 2019 following the unfortunate incident in Ibi, Taraba State which resulted in the brutal murder of three (3) Police Officers and two (2) civilians, also injuring 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 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 rearrest 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.
