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.
