On Wednesday, Gatekeepers News reported that Mamu was detained at the Cairo International Airport in Egypt while he was on his way to Saudi Arabia for lesser hajj and later taken into the DSS custody.
Mamu, an aide to Ahmad Gumi, a popular Islamic cleric, has been involved in negotiations for the release of persons abducted on a train in Kaduna, in March 2022.
The DSS on Wednesday said the publisher had questions to answer.
DSS spokesperson, Peter Afunanya, while giving an update on the arrest in a statement issued on Thursday, said incriminating materials were found during a search on Mamu’s house and office.
The statement read, “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.
“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.”
