A member of the Intelligence Response Team, ASP Felix Aidolije, who led the detectives that arrested a kidnap kingpin, Bala Hamisu , in Taraba State, has said soldiers commanded by Capt.
Tijjani Balarabe fired at their vehicle with a machine gun.
He further stated that a soldier shot at him as he crawled out of the crashed bus, adding that he pretended as if he was hit by the bullets. The panel headed by Rear Admiral I. Olaiya probed the killing by the soldiers who also released Wadume on August 6, 2019. As the operatives were returning from the operation, he said the soldiers at the checkpoint queried them about their trip, adding that the IRT told the soldiers that they were the police personnel who passed through earlier.
“It was then our vehicle somersaulted thrice, but the soldiers kept firing at us. It was by God’s grace that I crawled out of the vehicle and ran into the bush.
