From Molly Kilete, Abuja

Notorious kidnapper and gunrunner, Hamisu Wadume, is reportedly among the escapees of Tuesday night attack on Kuje prison by terrorists.

Wadume, who was remanded in custody at Kuje prison, for armed robbery, kidnaping and gun running after his arrest by operatives of the Inteligence Response Team (IRT), has not been found since after the attack on the facility.

Daily Sun gathered that the suspect who has been in custody at Kuje prisons since 2020 was not among prisoners recaptured by security  agents.

Wadume was arrested by IRT operatives in Taraba for terrorising people of the state with his criminal activities. But the IRT operatives came under heavy firing by soldiers of 93 Battalion, Takum, leading to the death of three police officers and one civilian staff.

The soldiers who also rescued Wadume from the IRT operatives were said to have carried out the operations on the orders of their commanding officer, Major Balarabe.

The killing of the police officers drew public condemnation.

The suspects was later rearrested by the operatives at Kano, taken to Abuja and charged to court, where he was remanded in prison custody.
