From Molly Kilete, Abuja
The Department of State Services (DSS) yesterday said it recovered incriminating materials during a search conducted on the house of the Publisher of Desert Herald and top negotiator with the bandits who attacked the Kaduna-bound train, Tukur Mamu.
The DSS said a valid search warrant obtained by security agencies on the home and office of Mamu led to the recovery of military accoutrements and huge sums of monies in different currencies and denominations as well as financial transaction instruments.
DSS Public Relations Officer, Peter Afunaya, who made the disclosure in a statement, yesterday, said the agency will continue with its investigations after which Mamu would be charged to court.
The DSS had, on Wednesday, announced the arrest of Mamu, following a request by the Military, Law Enforcement and Intelligence Community to their foreign partners to bring back Manu to the country, to answer critical questions on the ongoing investigations relating to some security matters in parts of the country.

The self acclaimed top negotiator with the bandits who attacked the Kaduna-bound train was said to have been arrested in Egypt by INTERPOL.
Afunaya’s statement on the search reads:
“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.”
