Terror suspect Ogwuche extradited from Sudan
One of the masterminds behind the second Nyanya bomb blast in Nigeria's Federal Capital, Abuja - Sadiq Aminu Ogwuche, has been extradited from Sudan.
Led by Sudan Interpol, Ogwuche arrived in a Nigeria Air Force aircraft and was handed over to operatives of Department of State Security (DSS) and Nigeria's Interpol.
Nigerian Police spokesman Frank Mba said “Following the conclusion of tortuous legal and diplomatic processes between Nigeria and the Republic of Sudan, the co-mastermind of the Nyanya Motor Park bombing in which scores of citizens died and hundreds wounded, Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche, was Tuesday, 15th July, 2014 extradited to the country from Sudan where he had taken refuge.
“It will be recalled that the terror fugitive who had long since been arrested in Sudan following an international red notice issued for his arrest by the Nigeria National Bureau of Interpol, had not been repatriated to the country before now due to some necessary processes involved in transferring suspects from one country to another.
“Meanwhile, the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, while commending the personnel of the Nigeria Police Interpol Unit for a job well done, noted that the successful repatriation of the terror fugitive to Nigeria shows that the global coalition against terrorism championed by Nigeria is beginning to yield the desired result.”
