ABUJA— ONE of the alleged masterminds of the April
14 Nyanya Bus terminal twin bomb blasts by the
Boko Haram sect, which killed over 75 persons and
injured others, Aminu Ogwuche, was yesterday
extradited from Sudan to Nigeria.
Ogwuche was brought back to the country,
apparently without the knowledge of the Sudanese
Embassy in Nigeria, according to the information
available to Vanguard.
However, the fugitive who fled to Sudan immediately
after the incident, was brought to the Presidential
Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport,
Abuja, at about 3p.m. aboard a chartered flight by
Interpol officials with the assistance of Nigerian
security men and diplomats.
At the airport to take custody of the suspected
bomber were a team led by the Coordinator of the
National Information Centre and Director General of
the National Orientation Agency, NOA, Mike Omeri;
Director of Defence Information, DDI, Major General
Chris Olukolade; Police Force Public Relations Officer,
FPPRO, Assistant Commissioner, Frank Mba, and the
Deputy Director, Department of State Services, DSS,
Marilyn Ogar.
Ogwuche, son of a retired Colonel of the Nigerian
Army, who was educated in Sudan, was declared
wanted by the Federal Government on May 15,
shortly after the DSS paraded some suspects in
connection with the Nyanya bombing incident.
Also declared wanted was Abubakar Tsiga, the
alleged chief mastermind of the bombing.
Shortly after declaring him wanted, Ogwuche was
arrested by the International Police Organisation,
INTERPOL, in Sudan, where he fled to.
Earlier reports on the arrest of Ogwuche, indicated
that the Sudanese authorities were reluctant to
extradite him to Nigeria as a result of interference by
a top Northern Emir among other interests.
Vanguard, however, gathered that it was in a bid to
circumvent these ‘interests’ that the process of
extradition of the suspect to the country was made
top secret by security operatives until his arrival in
the country yesterday afternoon.
In line with the security ploy to keep Oguche’s
extradition secret, the Police headquarters had sent
an SMS inviting newsmen to cover the unveiling of a
“Special Counter Terrorism equipment” at the
airport, only for Ogwuche to be introduces as the
“equipment.”
Commenting on Oguche’s extradition earlier in the
day, the Sudanese Ambassador to Nigeria, Dr
Tagelsir Mahgoub, who was apparently not aware
that the suspect was already in the country, said: “All
the papers (for his extradition) were signed by the
two parties (Nigeria and Sudan).
“What we are waiting for now is for the Nigerian
government to send a delegation that will come to
our embassy to get their visas because everything
has been concluded.
“And I must say that there should not be any delay,
because it will delay the whole process.”
