The Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed an application by alleged terrorists’ negotiator, MOHAMMED TUKUR MAMU, seeking to be relocated from the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) to Kuje prison in the Federal Capital Territory.
In a ruling, Justice INYANG EKWO agreed with the prosecution that it would be unwise to grant MAMU’s request in view of the constant jailbreaks being experienced in the country in recent times.
Justice EKWO subsequently ordered MAMU to remain in DSS custody throughout his trial for the criminal charges against him.
The judge restated his earlier order that the terrorist negotiator be allowed access to his personal physician for medical treatment with the supervision of the DSS.
