Footage confirmed by BBC Verify in October showed Abu Lulu executing several unarmed captives with an AK-style rifle in a sandy, dusty area north-west of the city.
In the days that followed the el-Fasher massacre, RSF leader Gen Mohamed "Hemedti" Dagalo admitted that his troops had committed "violations" and said the incidents would be investigated.
Among those arrested was Abu Lulu.
A TikTok account that documented his activities was removed by the company in October after BBC Verify approached the tech giant for comment.
