Police Arraign Notorious Kidnap Suspect Wadume For Terrorism, Murder

The Nigeria Police Force on Monday arraigned notorious kidnap suspect, Bala Hamisu, also known as Wadume and 18 others for terrorism, murder, kidnapping, and possession of illegal arms.

Wadume is being arraigned before Justice Binta Nyanko at the Federal High Court in Abuja.

Three policemen and two civilians were killed during the incident, while five other police officers were injured.
