The Department of State Services (DSS) has described the
outcome of its investigation on Tukur Mamu, publisher of Desert Herald, as
“mind-boggling”.
Mamu was arrested at the Kano International Airport, after
he returned from Egypt where he had been detained on his way to Saudi Arabia
for lesser hajj.
Mamu, an aide to Ahmad Gumi, a popular Islamic cleric, has
been involved in negotiations for the release of persons abducted during an
attack on a train in Kaduna, in March 2022.
Commenting on his arrest, Gumi had said detaining Mamu is an act of terrorism and that the DSS should either charge him to court or release him.
Reacting in a statement on Sunday, Peter Afunaya, DSS
spokesperson, said the security agency would not be distracted by “skewed
utterances”.
Afunaya asked the public to wait for the commencement of
court proceedings.
“The Department of State Services (DSS) has followed, with
keen observation, overzealous comments by sections of the public in view of
issues relating to the arrest and investigation of Tukur Mamu,” he said.
“The service wishes
that it is not distracted with some of the skewed narratives pervading the
media space.
“Instead, it requests to be left alone to concentrate on the
ongoing investigations, the outcomes of which have remained mind-boggling.
“Meanwhile, the service will cease further comments on the
subject matter since the court will determine its course.
“Consequently, the public is hereby enjoined to desist from
making unguarded utterances and await the court proceedings.”
