A large crowd of people trooped out to welcome Hamisu Bala, better known as ‘Wadume’, to his hometown in Ibbi, Taraba State, on Sunday, after serving his jail term for offenses of kidnapping and others.
Wadume, who was arrested by men of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) of Inspector-General of Police, in 2019, was released from Kuje Prison in Abuja, on Saturday.
He was said to be received by thousands of people, including youths and women in Ibbi town.
A resident of Ibbi town said the town stood at a standstill for Wadume, who was described as a philanthropist and local politician before his arrest.
He was driven around the town and thereafter proceeded to visit the Chief of Ibbi chiefdom, Alhaji Salihu Danbawuro, at his palace.
Wadume told the traditional ruler that he was at the palace to thank the chief and the entire people of his chiefdom.
He said throughout his trial, the chief and his subjects stood firmly with him and prayed for his safety and good health while in prison.
The chief, Danbawuro, told Wadume that he and his subjects were happy that he was out of prison.
