The IRT’s manhunt to arrest and bring down Wadume’s kidnapping spree began in March 2019 when it received a petition from one Sheriff Umar of Kirikinua South Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

During the attack, Inspector Mark Ediale, Sergeants Usman Danzumi, Dahiru Musa and a civilian died as a result of gunshot injuries, while others sustained gunshot wounds.
Investigations into the killing of three policemen revealed that the Nigerian Army captain who allegedly ordered the release exchanged 191 phone conversations with him.
