The lead negotiator between bandits and the passengers kidnapped from the Abuja-Kaduna train in March, Alhaji Tukur Mamu, has been arrested.
Mamu was nabbed in Cairo, capital of Egypt with his family members on their way to Saudi Arabia for lesser Hajj.
Daily Trust reports that Mamu was detained at the Cairo International Airport for 24 hours and is being repatriated back to Nigeria.
The medium quoted Mamu as saying that he left Nigeria Tuesday and after being investigated by the Egyptian security agencies, nothing incriminating was found in his possession.
The government is yet to react to Mamu’s claim but some persons have accused him of conniving with terrorists, an allegation which he has denied.
