ALERT: Face Of Kidnap Kingpin Hamisu Wadume Among Inmate That Escape From Kuje Prison

A kidnap kingpin from Taraba State, Hamisu Wadume, has been reported to be among the inmates that escaped from the Kuje Prison in Abuja during the Tuesday night attack by the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP).

In August 2019, the Nigeria Police Force arrested Hamisu Wadume, a high-profile kidnap kingpin in Taraba State.

He was transported to Abuja on August 6, 2019, after his initial arrest by police officers on a covert operation before they were attacked by troops of 93 Battalion based in Takum, Taraba State.

The attack led to the death of three officers including a civilian while Wadume was set free by the soldiers.

The incident led to a face-off between the police and the Nigerian Army with a panel set up to investigate the matter.

He was remanded in custody at the Kuje prison, for armed robbery, kidnaping and gun running after his arrest by operatives of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT).

But  why are they keeping them in prison for that long, if you’re kidnappers you should face firing squad without hesitation simple . There should be no any leniency to kidnappers.

This reminds  us of the prime suspect of the gruesome murder of six Igbo traders and a girlfriend to one of them in Apo Abuja many years back (Apo six ) Mr. Ibrahim Danjuma who was compensated with a promotion to AIG by the Nigerian Police. Hmmmmm. They say they OWN NIGERIA. Time will tell.
