The suspected kidnap kingpin who was rescued from Police officers in Taraba state by soldiers of the Nigerian Army has opened up on his source of income.<\/p>\n

Premium Times reports that Hamisu Wadume denied any kind of involvement in kidnapping for ransom.<\/p>\n

Stating that the Police was wrong in categorising him as a kidnap kingpin in Taraba state, Wadume said he acquired his wealth through fishing which he has been doing for decades.<\/p>\n

Sources present during Wadume’s initial interrogation with the Police at the Force Headquarters said the suspect admitted to being involved in “419” business.<\/p>\n

The source said: \u201cBut he also admitted to being a 419 by deceiving people with traditional medicine to get millions from them, he insisted that he was not involved in kidnapping and the 419 was only a fraction of his large wealth.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
