Suspected kidnap kingpin, Hamisu Bala popularly known as Wadume, has allegedly confessed to having soldiers on his payroll.

The Nations reports that the suspect who was re-arrested by police after his initial arrest was thwarted by soldiers who reportedly killed three policemen said he also sent huge amount to an army captain Tijani Balarabe, a few weeks ago.

Wadume said he was able to avoid arrest by paying soldiers N20,000 at each security checkpoint.

A police source claimed "two of Balarabe's boys, 'Babaruns' and 'Zubairu', called on August 6 to tell him about Bala's arrest.

The source said Balarabe directed his men to rescue the kidnap suspect and later took him to his house where he invited a welder to remove the handcuffs

The police source said: "He has made so many revelations. A lot of things have said that I don't want to talk about to avoid jeopardising ongoing investigations. It is a huge network and so many people are involved."
