Interpol Hands Over Alleged Nyanya Bombing Mastermind 'Aminu Ogwuche' to Nigeria
Aminu Ogwuche, the Nigerian accused of masterminding the April 14 bomb explosion in Nyanya, a suburb of Abuja, has been handed to Nigerian security officials by the International Police, INTERPOL.
This was contained in a statement signed by Police Force Public Relations Officer ACP Frank MBA. Read Full state below:
"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.
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 which touched down at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport at 3.00pm today. It would 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, IGP MD Abubakar, CFR, NPM, mni, psc 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.

Good you used Alleged. Nigeria has a history of convicting the wrong people. Aminu could easily just be a scapegoat. With all the years of corruption, genocide, assassinations in Nigeria no single President is in Prison.
ReplyDeleteWho is then going to be held accountable???
Or could as well be the mastermind! Right Ahmed Usman?
DeleteSure!! not disputing that fact that he could actually be the mastermind. But there are still many unanswered questions. This is Nigeria, it is not today. People are accused of crimes they didn't commit regularly while the guilty goes free.
DeleteLets at least celebrate that someone can be held accountable for the innocent lives lost. Sorry scapegoat.
