It will be recalled that Mamu, who is the publisher of Desert Herald, and self-appointed negotiator for the victims of the ill-fated Abuja-Kaduna train attack on March 17 this year, was picked up in Cairo, Egypt on September 6 and promptly transferred to Nigeria on September 7,2022.

He was immediately taken from the Aminu Kano International Airport to Abuja and handed over to the DSS for custody.

Mamu is likely to he charged for terrorism and being accessory to kidnapping having been suspected to have collected huge ransom amounting to N2 billion from families of the train victims taken captives by terrorists.
