The Department of State Service (DSS) says it recovered incriminating materials at the residence of the lead negotiator between bandits and the families of the kidnapped Abuja-Kaduna train passengers, Tukur Mamu.
The spokesman for the DSS, Peter Afunanya disclosed this to Daily Trust when asked about a raid carried out in the Kaduna house and office of Mamu in the early hours of Thursday.
Speaking about the raid, DSS said so many incriminating things, including military accoutrements, large amounts of different currencies and denominations were recovered, saying the arrested publisher will be charged to court.
”So far, appropriate security agencies have executed valid search warrants on Mamu’s residence and office. During the processes, incriminating materials including military accoutrements were recovered.
Afunanya added that: “Other items include large amounts in different currencies and denominations as well as financial transaction instruments. While further investigations continue, Mamu will, sure, have a day in court,” Afunanya said.
This comes after the secret police confirmed the arrest of the bandit negotiator.

According to DSS, Mamu was arrested based on requests from Nigeria’s Military, Law Enforcement, and the Intelligence Community to their foreign partners in Cairo, Egypt.
