FOUR months after the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, took over the case of a suspected Taraba kidnap kingpin, Hamisu Bala , and his co-defendants, and dropped charges against his accomplices in the military, authorities of the Nigerian Army have yet to court-martial them,The then Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, had originally filed 16 counts bordering on terrorism, murder, kidnapping and illegal arms running against Wadume and the others.

The minister later explained that he withdrew charges against the soldiers to allow the Nigeria Army to court-martial them and conclude its internal process. Meanwhile, the trial of Wadume and his co-defendants has yet to continue almost four months after the Judicial Staff Union of Nigeria called of its nationwide strike.

The Federal Government arraigned Wadume and his co-defendants on June 8, 2020 on amended 13 counts of terrorism, kidnapping and other related offences.
