Hamisu Wadume, a suspected kidnap kingpin in Taraba State, has been re-arrested.
PREMIUM TIMES reports that Wadume was seen at the Force Headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday.
The police are expected to release a statement on his capture later.
Wadume was allegedly released by an army captain at his residence after whisking him away from the Ibi military base in Taraba State.
Three policemen and one civilian; Inspector Mark Edaile, Sergeant Usman Danzumi, Sergeant Dahiru Musa and Olajide Owolabi, who arrested Wadume, were killed by soldiers along Ibi-Wukari road in Taraba state, on 7 August 2019.
The policemen were from the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Intelligence Response Team (IRT).
Recall that soldiers moved all the killed policemen and the wounded to their base, including kidnap suspect Wadume, who was still in handcuff and leg chain. It was from the military base that the captain moved Wadume to his personal residence in Ibi, after which he was freed. A welder was allegedly called to free Wadume from the handcuffs and leg chain.
