The Department of State Security Services (DSS) has confirmed that Abuja-Kaduna train hostage negotiator, Tukur Mamu, is in its custody.
A signed statement by the Service spokesman,Dr Peter Afunanya indicates that Mamu was arrested in Egypt while on his way to Saudi Arabia.
Part of the DSS statement reads: “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 Nigeria, 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.
