DSS Confirms Arrest Of Kaduna Train Negotiator

The Department of State Security DSS has confirmed the arrest of self acclaimed Kaduna hostage train negotiator Tukur Mamu.

The Spokesman for the DSS, Dr. Peter Afunanya, confirmed in a statement made available on Wednesday evening that Mamu was arrested in Egypt following a request by Nigerian forces.

The DSS statement said,” The Department of State Services 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 in 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.

Dr. Afunanya further added that the law will take its appropriate course on the matter.
