Nyanya Bombing - Nigeria Police Interpol Arrives With Suspect Sadiq Ogwuche

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 on Tuesday July 15, 2014 extradited from the country from Sudan where he was taking refuge.

Aminu Ogwuche who was handed over to the Interpol Unit of the Nigeria Police Force by the Sudanese authorities was flown into the country in a special flight from Khartoum and arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport at 3.00pm on Tuesday. The report from the Force Police Relations Officer, Frank Mba recalled that the terror fugitive who had long 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 necessary processes involved in transferring suspects from one country to another.

He stated that the Inspector-General of Police, M. D 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 portrays that the global coalition against terrorism championed by Nigeria is beginning to yield desired results.
