The negotiator of the Kaduna train hostage, Tukur Mamu, was arrested by Interpol on Tuesday in Egypt.
According to reports, Mamu was arrested and detained by Interpol at the International Airport in Cairo on his way to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Mr Mamu, also the spokesperson of the Kaduna-based cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, led the negotiation to release some of the abductees of the March 2022 Kaduna train attack.
Mr Mamu has confirmed his arrest to the press. He disclosed that he was released immediately after a search which found nothing unlawful on him.
Mr Mamu had earlier withdrawn from negotiating with terrorists. He cited threats to his life by the Nigerian government as the reason for his withdrawal.
