FG Slams 10 Count Charge on Ex-Terrorist Negotiatior, Tukur Mamu
The Federal Government will on Tuesday, arraign Mr. Tukur Mamu, ex-terrorist negotiator, on a 10-count charge bordering on terrorism financing among others.
Mamu, who will be arraigned by the office of the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) on behalf of the FG, will be arraigned before Justice Inyang Ekwo of a Federal High Court, in Abuja.
Reports claim that Justice Nkeonye Maha had, on Sept. 13, 2022, given the Department of State Services (DSS) a go-ahead to detain the terrorists’ negotiator for 60 days.
This, according to the court, will enable DSS to conclude its investigation on Mamu.
The charge was signed by the Director of Public Prosecution of the Federation, Mr. M.B. Abubakar.
Mamu had led the negotiation with the terrorists to release the Abuja-Kaduna train passengers kidnapped in March 2022.
In the same month, the DSS raided his residence, where military kits, foreign currencies, and other items were found. They will be presented in court as evidence.
Mamu was repatriated in September after he was intercepted in Cairo, the capital of Egypt, while en route to Saudi Arabia.
