The Federal Government will, Tuesday, arraign Mr. Tukur Mamu, an 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.


The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Justice Nkeonye Maha of a sister court gave the Department of State Services (DSS) the go-ahead to detain the former terrorists’ negotiator for 60 days on Sept. 13, 2022.


This was to enable the court to conclude its investigation on Mamu, who led the negotiation with the terrorists for the release of the Abuja-Kaduna train passengers kidnapped in March 2022.


The charge was signed by the Director of Public Prosecution of the Federation, Mr. M.B. Abubakar.
