Wadume was convicted by the trial judge for unlawfully dealing in prohibited firearms and for escaping from prison custody.
The Office of the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice had earlier brought the criminal prosecution before Justice Binta Nyako of a Federal High Court in Abuja.
After the trial which lasted for three years, Justice Nyako convicted Wadume on counts two and ten of the thirteen-count charge brought against him and six others.
Recall that Justice Nyako delivered judgement on other defendants in the charge last month
A police officer, Inspector Aliyu Dadje who was the station officer at the Ibi Divisional Police Headquarters at the time, was also sentenced to three years for tampering with Police records to conceal the crime.
