The Department of State Services has explained why that the lead negotiator between the terrorists and passengers kidnapped from the attacked Abuja-Kaduna train, Alhaji Tukur Mamu, was arrested.

The PUNCH earlier reported that Mamu was arrested in Cairo, the Egyptian capital, on Tuesday.

The terrorists’ negotiator was arrested in Egypt alongside his family members. Mamu was on his way to Saudi Arabia for the lesser Hajj when he was detained at the Cairo International Airport.

Mamu’s arrest was coming a few days after the All Progressives Congress vice-presidential candidate, Kashim Shettima, visited the publisher and Sheikh Gumi in Kaduna State.

The ex-negotiator personally shared pictures of the visit with our correspondent on Monday. Confirming Mamu’s arrest, the Management of the Desert Herald Newspaper, said the arrest was an attempt to intimidate its publisher.

In a statement on Wednesday by its Head, Special Projects, Ibrahim Mada, the management accused the Federal Government of contriving the arrest, deportation of Mamu from Egypt to Nigeria.

The statement read, “His patriotic mission to ensure the safety of the hapless passengers made him a target of blackmail by unscrupulous elements in the government who are hell bent in punishing him for this noble but dangerous sacrifice for the fatherland. Such threats and intimidations have forced him to reveal on a number of times that his life was under serious threat.”

But giving details on why Mamu was arrested, the DSS in a statement by its spokesperson, Peter Afunanya, said Manu was arrested because he was a “person of interest”.

He noted that upon his return to the country on Wednesday, the DSS took him into custody.

According to him, Manu has some critical questions to answer on the ongoing investigations relating to some security matters

The statement read, “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 Mamu, 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.”

Na wash, no be Naija.

Arrest anyone with Links to terrorists

I hope the DSS has done its groundwork before taking him to detention. And not their usual hurry-hurry work

Terrorism taken outside the country.

When will they aren't or question Gumi the chief terrorist represented?

I don't understand so DSS waiting for Egypt to do their work for them

He left COWgeria to Egypt, you allow him pass through your useless airport only for the Egyptians to arrest him for you.

WHAT A COUNTRY.

Before I'll take them seriously, they should announce the sponsors of terrorism in the country.

The way that man kept announcing that bandits were getting ready to marry their Christian captives, I knew something was fishy. In the past, we have seen the bandits rape, marry and impregnate these little girls without anyone raising alarm.

But when this negotiator went about calling on the government and CAN to stop the terrorists from marrying those girls, I knew he was more interested in his share of the largesse, not really about the well-being of those kids.

Person of interest, whose interest gaan gaan? When will the corrupt politicians become persons of interest?

Nice

The script was written by a novice. Mr negotiator wants to cash out

Mamu the terrorists negotiators with his sheikh Gumi their agbados and cassavas second in command visited duo days ago....
Tinubu will handle economy...
Shettima will handle security.

When they say terrorists and bandits are sponsored by crooked politicians, na true talk.

Persons of interest

What about Gumi, is he above the law? Isn't Mamu working with Gumi regarding negotiations with bandits?

Guess Gumi have been the same "person of interest"? Only terrorists are afraid of terrorists.

They think they can corner Buhari and go free, there was an agreement to free the captives, the federal government had played it's own part but the terrorist changed their position after they had got their request fulfilled and you they think Buhari will just let go like that. They would face the music accordingly. No be only lesser Haj, na minimum Haj.

Shey you will go and do what he is accused of doing then come back and tell us? smh

Ok

the same question I wanted to ask

What is the value of HausafulaniKanuri muslims of the North to Southern Nigeria?? Absolute Zero. [O]

I can't wait for the Country to be divided soon.

Since amalgamation of 1914, the North has ever been wahala pikin to the rest of the country.
They contribute nothing to the coffers except bloodshed, chaos, Islamic jihadists killing raping and stealing from the rest of us.
