The Federal Government has filed 10-count charge bordering on terrorism financing and others against terrorist negotiator, Tukur Mamu. The charges were filed on Tuesday during his arraignment before Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja. The case is being handled by the office of the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF). The charge was signed by the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) of the Federation, M.B. Abubakar. Justice Nkeonye Maha of the FHC, had, on September 13, 2022, approved Mamu’s detention at the Department of State Services (DSS). Mamu 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.
