Abdul Hassan
These are indeed not the best of times for the publisher of Desert Herald,Tukur Mamu, as a Federal High Court, Abuja, has granted a prayer by the Department of State Services (DSS) to detain him.
Mamu, the former terrorists’ negotiator, is to spend 60 more days in detention, the court ordered.
Justice Nkeonye Maha ruled on the ex-parte motion moved by counsel for the DSS, Ahmed Magaji.
The security outfit, in the motion marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/1617/2022 dated and filed Sept. 12, had urged the court to grant its reliefs to enable it to conclude its investigation on Mamu, who had been leading the negotiation with the terrorists for the release of the Abuja-Kaduna train passengers abducted in March.
Mamu was arrested September 6, by foreign security agents in Cairo, Egypt and detained before being repatriated back to Nigeria.
The DSS had, on Sunday, warned Nigerians over making comments on its arrest of Mamu.
