The family of embattled bandits negotiator who was arrested by the Department of Security Services (DSS) on Friday said the military accoutrements security agents found in the Desert Herald publisher’s home belongs to his nephew who is an officer of the Nigerian Navy.

Daily Trust reports that in response to a raid carried out on Mamu’s Kaduna home and office, the DSS had revealed that it recovered military accoutrements, different currencies and denominations and other “incriminating materials.”

The spokesperson of the DSS, Peter Afunanya had said Mamu, who is in their custody together with his eldest son, Faisal, and his brother in-law, Ibrahim Tinja, would be charged to court.

However, reacting to the allegations in a statement which the management of Desert Herald, the Kaduna based newspaper owned by Mamu, the family said “the cooked up and phantom allegations the Department of Security Services (DSS) concocted in its desperation to give the publisher a bad name in order to rope him.”

The statement, issued by the newspaper’s head, Special Operations and Production Manager, Ibrahim Mada, stated that the DSS made blanket statements without bothering to give details despite the critical question of national security which they claimed was the underlying reason for Mamu’s arrest.

“We view this deliberate distortion of facts with the intention of twisting narratives about Tukur Mamu with exception,” it stated.

According to the statement, “the department made allusions that military accoutrements and hard currency were found in the home of Tukur Mamu with a view to sway public opinion against the publisher who has made supreme sacrifices towards nixing the raging insecurity in the land.”

“The public may wish to know that the military accoutrements found in the home of the publisher belongs to his nephew who is an officer of the Nigerian Navy. Tukur Mamu who played the role of a father, was responsible for the upkeep and school expenses of the nephew till he enrolled in the Nigerian Navy.”

“Again in its desperation to smear the name of Mamu, the DSS said it has found huge amount of hard currency without stating how much it found. It is incumbent for the general public to know that the total amount of the hard currency found in Mamu’s house if converted into naira is less that N1.5m, yet the DSS is trying to make the situation look bad by saying huge haul of hard currency was found in his house.”

“At this point it is pertinent to ask when does it become a crime for someone to within his income limit had foreign currency in his house? Or is it a crime for one to have a member of his family in the Nigerian Armed Forces?”

This distortion of information and media trial against Mamu is a pointer to the desperation of the DSS to rope the man at all cost for the sacrifices he is making to ensure an end to the raging insecurity in the land.”

Let him face the music if found culpable.

What does Mamu do for a living?....

Terrorist negotiator?

There is more to what the eyes can see or ear can hear in this case. It is most likely a deal gone awry. Never trust all the dramatis personnel in this revolving game of mirrors. This government only fights the corruption or terrorism it is not interested in.

This case needs thorough and unbiased investigation

Nothing surprises me for Nigeria again!

They should charge him to court so he can start saying his side of the story and lets see if this noise from dss will not die .

Sorry for your P&ID loss, I hope they paid you upfront?

How many drums of alcohol does it takes to kill off one's conscience to knowingly work for people trying to destroy your country?

Those who work for Nigeria enemies, promote their attacks against us, shall surely labour in vain and their lots shall be vanity!

I think the reason the DSS is after this dude is because he scammed both the FG and Bandits of ransom money.

The bandits never got the complete amount and so refused to release the Kaduna train hostages .

Lol
