Alleged Taraba state kidnap kingpin, Hamisu Bala popularly known as Wadume, has been reportedly re-arrested and taken to the Louis Edet House Force headquarters in Abuja.
Police spokesman Frank Mba is yet to respond to inquiries on the matter but there are indications that police may issue official statement in the next few hours on the breakthrough.
Wadume’s escape after an attack on his police captors by soldiers and a village mob along Ibi-Wukari road in Taraba state on August 6 sparked off massive public reactions and led to the constitution of a special investigative panel.
The investigation panel, which is working with presidential authority, was initially scheduled to conclude its findings last week but was given two additional weeks.
Meanwhile, notorious billionaire kidnap kingpin Hamisu Bala popularly known as Wadume has confessed that soldiers aided his escape on August 6 after he was arrested by police detectives.
Two of the detectives attached to the special anti-kidnap squad of the Inspector General of Police and a civilian were killed when soldiers opened fire on them.
The development sparked a public row between the Police and Soldiers with Nigerians completely appalled.
Wadume, who has since been re-arrested by police detectives in hideout in Kano, confessed in a video obtained by the Nation during interrogation that soldiers assisted him to escape.
In the 41-second video, Wadume, who spoke in Hausa, said : “I am Hamisu Bala also known as Wadume. The police came to Ibi and arrested me.
“After arresting me, they were taking away when soldiers went after them and opened fire and some policemen were killed.
