Kaduna based Newspaper publisher – Tukur Mamu, has written to the Attorney General of the Federation, demanding a “retraction” for profiling and designating him as a TERRORIST FINANCIER. 

The Federal Government recently unveiled the identity of 15 entities, including nine individuals and six Bureau De Change operators and firms, allegedly involved in terrorism financing.

However, counsel for Mamu, who has been in detention since 2022, noted that the “Nigerian Sanctions Committee lacks the statutory mandate to pronounce on, and to designate Mr. Tukur Mohammed Mamu as a terrorist financier.”

Consequently, according to the letter, a seven-day ultimatum was handed down for the retraction of Mamu as a terrorist financier to prevent litigation.
