Operatives of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT), at the weekend, arrested 11 more suspects believed to be members of kidnap suspect Hamisu Bala Wadume’s gang.

The operatives also recovered 18 AK47 rifles in the operation that covered Taraba and neighbouring states, The Nation learnt on Sunday.
Saturday’s arrest brought to 19 the members of Wadume’s gang apprehended by the police since his re-arrest.

It was gathered that the suspects were also making useful statements and providing leads into the three kidnap syndicates allegedly operated by the kingpin.

The report of the Joint Investigative Panel on the killing of three undercover policemen by soldiers in Taraba State was however not ready, its Chairman Rear Admiral Ibikunle Olaiya, said yesterday.

Remember Naija Gists and Gossips via ngg.ng reported to the world how Wadume was a petty fish tradeer in Taraba small community and then later became rich over night. And also we reported how he was eventually arrested at Ibi weeks ago but on their way to the Police Command Headquarters in Jalingo, soldiers attached to 93 Battalion Takum opened fire on a bus that was conveying them, this led to the death of three gallant Police Officers and a civilian. Since then, the committee set up known as the joint Investigative Panel has been investigating this matter and arrests are still on going.
