JUST IN: Why We Arrested Kaduna Train Hostage Negotiator, Malam Tukur Mamu – DSS

The Department of State Services (DSS) has confirmed that Malam Tukur Mamu, former negotiator of victims kidnapped from a Kaduna-bound train March is in custody.

Mamu was arrested at Malam Aminu Kano International Airport in Kano on Wednesday afternoon.

The Kaduna-based published who was first arrested in Cario, capital of Egypt, was detained for 24 hours before he was flown back to Nigeria.

According to Daily Trust, while the Egypt Air aircraft which conveyed him and his family members touched down in Kano around 1:55pm, he was immediately picked up.

Mamu and his family were conveyed in the Hiace bus after they were apprehended by entrance of the aircraft.

A source at the DSS Abuja office also confirmed to Daily Trust that Mamu had indeed been arrested.

In a statement, DSS Spokesman, Peter Afunanya, confirmed Mamu’s arrest, saying the agency was grilling him over security issues.

“The Department of State Services (DSS) has been inundated with enquires in respect of the arrest or otherwise of Tukur Mamu, the self-acclaimed Kaduna Train hostage negotiator. This is to confirm that Manu, as a person of interest, was intercepted by Nigeria’s foreign partners at Cairo, Egypt on 6th September, 2022 while on his way to Saudi Arabia.

“He has since been returned to the country, today, 7th September, 2022 and taken into the Service’s custody. The act followed a request by Nigeria’s Military, Law Enforcement and Intelligence Community to their foreign partners to bring back Mamu to the country to answer critical questions on ongoing investigations relating to some security matters in parts of the country. The public may wish to note that the law will appropriately take its course.”
