The Federal Government on Monday re-arraigned Tukur Mamu, the alleged terrorists’ negotiator during the Abuja-Kaduna train attack hostages in 2022, on an amended 17-count terrorism charge.
Mamu, who was re-arraigned before Justice Mohammed Umar of the Federal High Court in Abuja, pleaded not guilty.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Mamu, who was arrested on Sept. 7, 2022, by the Egyptian security officials at the Cairo International Airport, was earlier arraigned on a 10-count charge bordering on terrorism financing.
However, the prosecution amended the counts by adding more offences, including unlawful possession of firearms without a valid licence and money laundering charges.
