Why DSS Was Grafted 60 More Days To Detain Bandits Negotiator Mamu

CKN News had reported that Mamu was arrested at Cairo International Airport on September 6, 2022, on his way to Saudi Arabia for lesser Hajj.

“Other items include large amounts in different currencies and denominations as well as financial transaction instruments.”
