Wadume: military, police tango over trial ...
Suspected kidnap kingpin Hamisu Bala was being taken to the Police Command in Jalingo, the state capital, when the operatives were attacked by soldiers believed to be loyal to Wadume.The army launched a probe, but some forces are said to be mounting pressure on the authorities to treat the investigative panel’s report as “classified”.
It was gathered that the military does not want to subjugate itself to the police, which is statutorily empowered to try the suspects. They alleged that some forces do not want the report of the investigative panel released for “security reasons.” “Both agencies have to come together for the trial to take place. But there appears to be no synergy between them.”
Asked why Wadume has not been charged, Force Spokesman Frank Mba said: “The right people to answer that question would be the panel members.
