Soldiers who opened fire on three policemen in Taraba state were ordered by a captain, New Telegraph quoted sources as saying.

The officer is believed to be part of those benefiting from the largesse of Hamisu Wadume, the suspected kidnap kingpin whom the police officers had gone to arrest.

A source was quoted as saying the wanted kidnap suspect, who has been generous to soldiers in Ibi, paid a ransom of N1.5 million when one of the soldiers was kidnapped few months ago.

While the police had accused the army of killing their men and freeing Wadume, the army said soldiers mistook the policemen, who were on a covert operation, for kidnappers.

Since the incident happened, the police and army have had exchanges, with police asking the army for the whereabouts of the kingpin who had already been arrested before the soldiers struck.

According to the army, the officers, who were members of the police’s intelligence response team (IRT), were shot over refusal to stop at checkpoints mounted by the soldiers.

Wetin money no go do us for we country, I swear God go line us up during judgement with a special register for all Nigerians.

Can the police stop disturbing our ears with this story! In the heart of Abuja, a civil defense man was clubbed to death in the presence of his wife and children, the police defended the act and life goes on. Now the military dealt a heavy blow on some policemen nobody will hear word.

Police men are cry babies, if army hit you, hit them back, stop whipping up sentiment, both of you are same, high disregard for human rights and life,
At the end of the day, police IG and COAS, will meet in Dubai and settle the matter over maghreb Wine and some Arabic stripper performing
LIFE GOES ON

This wadume is a dangerous criminal.He must have kidnapped the military personnel as well as pay himself the so called 'ransom'.
No kidnapping can go on in that town without his knowledge.

The army captain should not be spare from investigation
