On Thursday night, the Department of State Services said that agents had searched Tukur Mamu‘s residence and workplace in Kaduna and had made a number of finds.
In a statement released by its spokesman, Dr. Peter Afunanya, the DSS claimed that ‘relevant security agencies’ had discovered incriminating items, including military accoutrements, during the search.
The security service also disclosed that the negotiator for kidnapped victims’ house and offices were searched and substantial amounts of cash in various foreign currencies were found there.
According to Afunanya, the right security agencies have so far carried out lawful search warrants at Mamu’s home and workplace. Incriminating items, including military gear, were found throughout the procedures.
“Other goods contain sizable sums in various currencies and denominations as well as tools used for financial transactions.
The DSS spokesman stated, “Mamu will, undoubtedly, get a day in court as additional investigations continue,” but he did not specify when the suspect would show up in court.
You may recall that Mamu, the editor of the Desert Herald and the self-designated mediator for the victims of the tragic train incident that occurred on March 17 this year in Abuja and Kaduna, was taken up in Cairo, Egypt on September 6 and immediately moved to Nigeria on September 7,2022.
He was delivered to the DSS for custody as soon as he arrived in Abuja from the Aminu Kano International Airport.
Mamu is expected to be prosecuted with terrorism and being an accessory to abduction since it is alleged that she obtained a significant ransom payment of N2 billion from the families of terrorist-captured railway passengers.
He will probably face legal charges for his involvement in the acquisition and distribution of ransom money to terrorists, as well as for how he learned of the terrorists’ identities and whereabouts.
