Suspected mastermind of Nyanya bomb blast in Abuja, Aminu Sodiq Ogwuche has finally arrived home from Republic of Sudan where he was earlier arrested.
This came after a conclusion of tortuous legal and diplomatic processes between Nigeria and the northern African country where he had taken refuge.
He arrived home on Tuesday, July 15, 2014 amid tight security.
Recall that Ogwuche allegedly co-masterminded the Nyanya Motor Park bombing in which over 74 citizens died and hundred others injured on April 14.
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 3.00pm today.
A statement by the Police PPRO, Frank Mba, says the Benue-born indigene who had long been nabbed in Sudan following an international red alert 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.
Reacting, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP MD Abubakar, 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.
