The Department of State Services has provided an explanation for the arrest of Alhaji Tukur Mamu, the main mediator between the terrorists and the hostages taken from the ambushed Abuja-Kaduna train.
Mamu was reportedly detained on Tuesday in Cairo, the capital of Egypt, according to news sources.
Manu was detained by the DSS because they considered him to be a "person of interest," according to a statement by their spokesperson, Peter Afunnaya.
