Ogwuche,
a Islamic Student who fled to Sudan after masterminding the twin blasts
that killed nearly 100 Nigerians in Nyanya, Abuja, has been handed over
to face justice in NigeriaIt is justice time as the International Police Organization (INTERPOL) yesterday handed over a most wanted student-terrorist, Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche, to Nigeria's security agencies.
At the airport to receive the terrorist were the spokespersons of the police, ACP Frank Mba, Department of State Services (DSS), Marilyn Ogar, Defence Headquarters, Major General, Chris Olukolade and Mike Omeri, Coordinator, National Information Centre.
Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche is a student of Arabic Language at the International University of Africa, Sudan, and is allegedly mastermind of the deadly Nyanya twin bomb blast that killed nearly 100 Nigerians and left scores physically damaged for life.
The April 14 blast killed about 75 people while another 19 people died in the second blast on May 1.
The British born terrorist is an indigene of Orokam, Ogbadibo LGA, Benue State, Nigeria.
He was declared wanted by the Nigerian government on May 15 and arrested by INTERPOL in Sudan on an international warrant.
According to, ACP Mba Ogwuche had hired lawyers to resist his extradition to Nigeria, making the process a difficult one.
The extradition only became possible after "tortuous legal and diplomatic processes between Nigeria and the Republic of Sudan,” Mbah said in a statement.
Unpatriotic Citizen
Ogwuche, the son of a retired Nigerian Army colonel, deserted the Nigerian Army in 2006, after serving in the Intelligence Unit of the Nigerian Army at Child Avenue, Arakan Barracks, Lagos, between 2001 and 2006.
He was also once arrested in 2011.
With some people already calling for a death sentence on social media, what do you think would be punishment enough for his crimes?
