Following the arrest of Tukur Mamu, the Department of State Services (DSS) Thursday morning invaded his residence and office, carting away phones and laptop computers in the process.

Mamu, bandits’ chief-negotiator and the spokesperson of the fiery Islamic cleric, Sheikh Gumi had been in the limelight recently for his role in the negotiation of the release of victims of the Abuja-Kaduna train attack who were kidnapped by terrorists on March 28, 2022.

He was earlier arrested by Interpol in Egypt on his way to lesser Hajj in Saudi Arabia and forced to return home to face further questioning by Nigerian authorities.

A family source who blew the lid on the raid disclosed that the armed security operatives raided his house and office at about 12:30 a.m. and seized phones and laptop computers found at the premises.

The source also revealed that Mr Mamu’s wives who were travelling with him to Saudi Arabia have been released. However, his son, Ibrahim, and son-in-law Faisal are still being held by security operatives.

The Management of Desert Herald Newspaper had in a statement on Wednesday condemned the arrest and demanded the immediate and unconditional release of its publisher.

It would be recalled that DSS spokesman Peter Afunanya had earlier confirmed that Mamu was in their custody while explaining that he was arrested based on the request of the country’s security agencies.

“This is to confirm that Mamu, as a person of interest, was intercepted by Nigeria’s foreign partners at Cairo, Egypt on 6th September 2022 while on his way to Saudi Arabia,”

“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. The public may wish to note that the law will appropriately take its course.”
