UNMASKING KIDNAP KINGPIN WADUME ~ The suspected Taraba kidnap kingpin is a petty fish trader, painter, politician, polygamist with many children and a philanthropist. His wealth status might have been exergerated because of his generosity and profligate spending. He was reclusive until the last two years. His wealth, allegedly through kidnapping shot him into ‘prominence’. He is at the centre of a disagreement between the Army and the Police following soldiers killing of three policemen and a civilian who were on an anti-kidnapping mission in Taraba State. The incident is under probe following public outcry. Who is he? His name is Hamisu Bala. His nickname is “Why Do You Mean?”, which many mistake for “Wadume.” He is a Hausa man whose great grand father migrated from Katsina state. He was born and brought up in Ibi local government area of Taraba State. His late father, Bala, was Hausa, while his mother was Tiv, from Ukum local government area of Benue state. He holds a secondary school certificate, having attended the Government Secondary School (GSS) Ibi. It was gathered that he was “not a brilliant” Arts student. “He completed secondary school in 2004 and did not proceed to any tertiary institution,” one of his classmates told The Nation. Bala, 35, suddenly became so rich that many believe he made it through ‘ritual’. His posh residence in Ibi was built only last year. Before then, he was a petty trader who specialised in buying and selling fish in Ibi. “He was not even a big trader; he could only afford to buy only one or most of the time, half a basket of fish to sell at retail prices,” a source, who knows him well, said. Bala was a painter who had partnership with his brother. During the 2019 polls, he aspired to become a House of Assembly member, representing Ibi Constituency, on the platform of the Young Democratic Party (YDP). But, he did not make it. After making money Bala has been living the life of a philanthropist. In the last two years, he reportedly built houses for his friends and donated hundreds of motorcycles and cars to young men and women. He is also believed to be generous to security agents. “Sometimes he (alleged kidnapper) goes to tea sellers and settles the bills of tea drinkers. Then, he gives N10,000 each to the people,” a source in Ibi said. Two of his wives have been under house arrest. His other two wives are in Mecca on pilgrimage, it was learnt. So, how did police know Bala was a big time kidnapper to the extent of apprehending him? One of Bala’s accomplices, known as Kwarba, was apprehended by the police in Jalingo, over his alleged involvement in the kidnapping of a Permanent Secretary. During interrogation, Kwarba revealed that Bala was their leader. The police then allowed Kwarba to be communicating with Bala on the phone for over three days, as though he was not in detention. Based on their communication, the police were able to gather useful information. It was during one of their conversations on the phone that Bala disclosed that he was coming to Ibi for Eid el Kabir celebration. On arrival in Ibi, Bala phoned Kwarba to inform him. Operatives of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) embarked on the journey. They got to the police headquarters in Jalingo, before proceeding to Ibi, in a white Toyota Hummer Bus marked, LAGOS: MUS-564EU. They were in mufti, and carried Kwarba along so that he could identify Bala. They met Bala at a coffee joint, at the junction to Government Lodge. Kwarba identified him. To pull the wool over the kidnapper’s eyes, the policemen in disguise went out and told him they brought a bus for sale. Bala sought to know the cost of the vehicle so that he could buy it, but the policemen suggested they would step aside for bargaining. It was when he (Bala) got into the bus that the policemen told him they were there to arrest him, after handcuffing and chaining his legs. After arresting the suspect, the operatives drove into Ibi town briefly and began to drive carefully out of the town. But while passing the coffee joint, (where Bala was picked) the suspected kidnapper forced his head out of the vehicle and shouted: “I have been kidnapped by these people.” Soon, the news spread and some of Bala’s ‘boys’ began to chase the vehicle on motorbikes. The operatives had passed the first and second check points, with only one remaining to pass. Bala’s accomplices then called the military checkpoint where the bus was ambushed. They opened fire on the bus conveying the operatives and suspected kidnapper. The bus somersaulted into the bush, following the barrage of gun fire, as the driver lost control of the wheel. A source revealed that, after the killing of the three policemen and the civilian, Bala, who was handcuffed and chained in the legs, crawled and took refuge in the home of an old Jukun woman. The following day, he called his army captain friend who came with three of his ‘boys’ in a red Toyota Corolla. Our source alleged that the army captain cut the chains on the suspected kidnapper. “It was around 7:30am that he (Bala) was taken back to his home in Ibi in the red car,” an eyewitness said. On getting back to Ibi, his neighbours and Ibi residents went into jubilation. It was gathered that while the jubilation was on, Bala sneaked out, he has not been seen since then. [Culled]

CBN is an independent body, you say? I laugh. This is a fall out of ministerial [b]dis[/b]appointment o. So CBN should operate outside the policy thrust of the government, abi?

Horo:I don't understand what some folks celebrate as if commenting first on a FP of NL has something to do about their destinies. I have got some of my posts on Nairaland FP and even two on a day! But what is a big deal about it? I didn't celebrate anything 'cos life is much more important than that.

yemaldo:Slamming His head as the Son of God, who was ready to die for the world. The issue here is more than head slamming. That's just ONE OF praying postures. What do you day of the following; John 11:41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. Mark 6:41 And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all. You're been so deceived to believe that Jesus is a moslem of Islam that came by over 700 years after His Ascension. The founder who adopted one out of hundreds of idols being worshipped in mecca even by idolatrous anvesto (allah). His, father an idol worshipper. Named abdullah (servant of Allah) , who himself had died when the paedophilel Mohammed was a child. How could. he claim to found a new and better way (Allah), when his father died worshiping this same idol.? Just read ordinary ancient history people and religions of mecca, your eyes will open! |

The passage is fully quoted here; Matthew 26:39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. The Son calls unto His Father. allah said Jesus didn't die, the same verse he suggested for you confirmed Jesus faced the Cross headlong! And that's tormenting enough for you and your moon god! |

LIVING IN LAGOS WITHOUT KNOWING LAGOS . . 1 Ojota Ojota used to be a military settlement in the late 18th century and soldiers practised their shooting there. The area had several gun firing spots and became known as “Oju Ota” in Yoruba which means “Bullet spots”. It later metamorphosed into Ojota which it is called now. 2. Abule Egba This area is on the outskirts of Lagos and got its name from the early settlers who were Egba people from Abeokuta. The area was first called “Abule awon egba” in Yoruba, which means “Village of Egba people”. It later became “Abule Egba”. 3. Apongbon Apongbon is one of Lagos’ most popular markets, and it’s also quite close to the popular Oke-Arin market. It got its name from the then acting governor of the Lagos colony, William McCoskry, who had a Red Beard. The Yorubas who couldn’t pronounce the colonial governor’s name decided to describe him by his red beard and started calling him *“Oyinbo to pon ni agbon”* (Apon l'agbon) meaning a red-bearded man. It later became Apongbon. 4. Magodo Magodo is now a posh area, but in the past, it used to be sacred land. The residents had a lot of taboos and one of them was to avoid using mortars and pestles, “Ma gun odo” which means “Don’t pound it”. It later became Magodo 5. Epetedo Epe is named after the early settlers who were Epe traders. The area became dominated by the Epes and they still trade there until today. 6. Ebute-Metta Ebute-Metta is one of the earliest harbour docks where British ships berthed at. It was a hub for trade and commerce in colonial times. Ebute-Metta is a fusion of the words “Ebute” which means the seaside in Yoruba, and “Metta” which means three. The three shores are Iddo, Otto and Oko baba. 7. Broad street Broad street used to be one of the longest and widest streets in the city. It got its name from its broadness. However, Broad Street was later changed to Yakubu Gowon Street but later changed back to Broad street when Gowon was accused of participating the coup that led to the death of Murtala Ramat Mohammed. 8. Agidingbi The British Naval forces invaded Lagos in 1885 under the pretext of stopping slavery and human sacrifice. The noise their canon made was really loud, and the sound was heard round the streets of Lagos Island. The people described the sound as “A gidi n gbinnn”. Which means a loud groundbreaking noise. The name Agidingbi was borne out of this. 9. Victoria Island Victoria Island was also a major hub for commerce and British ships berthed there often. It’s named after Queen Victoria of England who was Queen from 1837-1901. 10[b]. Ikeja[/b] Ikeja, the capital of Lagos, is actually an abbreviation for “Ikorodu and Epe Joint Administration”, IKEJA. It was coined by the colonial masters for ease of administration.” . . Coming shortly, the history of Yaba, Surulere, Okota, Mushin, Idimu, Alakuko, Ikorodu, Epe, Ajangbadi, Ojo, Ijeshatedo, Orile, Ijora, Apapa and Ojuelegba. . . I hope you find this info useful.
