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, 15 July, 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. Continue...
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.
