Kaduna Train Attack : Chief Negotiator For Bandits Reportedly Arrested In Egypt
Alhaji Tukur Mamu, who was the Chief Negotiator for the bandits responsible for the train attack recorded in Kaduna in March this year, has been reportedly arrested and taken into custody by the police in Egypt.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned Manu, who was travelling to Saudi Arabia for the lesser hajj, was arrested along with his family in Cairo on Tuesday.
He was reportedly arrested at the Cairo International Airport.
It will be recalled that the bandits had attacked the Abuja-Kaduna bound AK9 train on March, 28, and abducted several passengers. They had planted explosive devices along the rail track and when the train approached the point, the device exploded, causing the train to derail and this resulted in the death of nine passengers.
From the manifest received by the Nigerian Railway Corporation, 398 passengers bought tickets but 362 were validated as having actually bought tickets.
As at Wednesday morning, over 60 passengers were still in the kidnappers’ den and they had spent over 50 days in captivity- Team@orientactualmags.com
