The negotiator of the abducted March 28 Abuja-Kaduna-bound train passengers, Tukur Mamu, has been arrested in Egypt.
It was gathered that Mamu, who is the spokesperson of the Kaduna-based cleric, Sheikh Gumi, was arrested on Tuesday by Interpol at the Cairo International Airport while awaiting a connecting flight to Saudi Arabia.
Mamu, who is the Publisher of Desert Herald Newspaper in Kaduna, negotiated the release of some of the victims of the abducted train passengers.

He later announced his withdrawal as the lead negotiator in securing the release of the abductees after he alleged a threat to his life by the Federal Government.
It was however learnt that Mamu was flown back to Nigeria by Interpol in the early hours of Wednesday after he was interrogated and nothing was found incriminating against him.
It was gathered that Tukur Mamu was accompanied by his two wives and one other person.
He is expected to arrive at Aminu Kano International Airport in Kano on Wednesday afternoon.
