DSS Arrests Train Hostage Negotiator, Tukur Mamu At Kano Airport

He was arrested on his arrival from Egypt.

DSS has arrested train hostage negotiator, Tukur Mamu at Kano airport.

Glamtush reports that Tukur Mamu, a Nigerian publisher who became popular over his involvement in the negotiation that led to the release of some of the hostages abducted by terrorists in the March 2022 attack on the Abuja to Kaduna train was on Wednesday arrested by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) at Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano.

He was arrested on his arrival from Egypt.

Mamu, who is also the spokesperson of the Kaduna-based cleric, Ahmad Gumi, was reportedly arrested earlier in the day by the Interpol operatives in Egypt on his way to lesser Hajj in Saudi Arabia.

He was later released and made to return home. No reason was given yet for his arrest.

Mamu, who had announced his withdrawal as the lead negotiator in securing the release of the hostages of the train attack after he alleged a threat to his life by the Nigerian government said he was arrested alongside his two wives and one other person.

Some of the hostages are still in captivity of the terrorists.
