The army hierarchy has finally
arrested the captain that ordered the killing of three operatives of the
Inspector-General of Police Special Intelligence Response Team (IRT) in Ibib,
Taraba State, disclosed a source.
The source further said that the
captain was arrested on Saturday by the army, but was yet to be handed over to
the police for interrogation and possible prosecution.
This was also as our reporter
gathered that the three murdered policemen and the civilian among them have
been moved to a mortuary in Abuja.
According to report the remains of
the officers were conveyed to Abuja early yesterday morning. They were moved to
Garki General Hospital and kept in a mortuary, waiting to be buried.
The three policemen and the civilian
were part of the 10 men that went to Ibib village in Taraba State, to arrest an
alleged notorious suspected kidnapper identified as Alhaji Hamisu Wadume.
Moments after successfully arresting
the suspect, the IRT operatives came under a hail of bullets by soldiers at a
check point along Ibi-Jalingo Road. The sudden attack on the bus of the
operatives caused their vehicle to somersault. While other operatives escaped
into the bush, those alive were shot on the stomach and chest by the soldiers,
who then tagged them kidnappers. The soldiers then freed Wadume.
