Military and Police detectives have widened their search for Taraba kidnap suspect Alhaji Hamisu Bala Wadume beyond towns and villages within the country

This was as the Defence Headquarters on Monday gave reasons for adding more time to the period within which the Joint Investigative Panel it set up is expected to submit its report.

Wadume is still at large more than 10 days after he escaped in controversial circumstances that led to the death of three police detectives and a civilian, when soldiers attached to the 93 Battalion, Taraba, fired gunshots at their vehicle along Ibi-Jalingo Road. It was gathered that besides the efforts of the security agents in combing likely hideouts of the kidnap kingpin, the services of Interpol might have been enlisted to tighten the noose on him.The source expressed optimism that Wadume would soon be arrested as the security agencies are quite aware of the onerous responsibility placed on them to ensure the arrest of the principal suspect.
