Tukur Mamu, the publisher of Kaduna-based Desert Herald Newspaper, has taken legal action against the Attorney General of the Federation, demanding a retraction for his alleged designation as a terrorist financier.

Through his lawyer, J.J. Usman (SAN), Mamu issued a stern letter to the AGF, contesting the legitimacy of the Nigerian Sanctions Committee's decision to profile and designate him as such.

The letter, dated March 25, 2024, emphasized Mamu's detention since 2022 and highlighted the absence of any court ruling confirming his status as a terrorist financier. Mamu's legal team issued a seven-day ultimatum for the retraction, warning of impending litigation if the demand is not met.
