Mastermind of Nyanya bomb blast, Oguche, extradited to Nigeria

The mastermind of the April 14  bomb blast at Nyanya Motor Park in Abuja, Sadiq Oguche, was yesterday extradited to the country after what the police described as tortuous legal and diplomatic process between Nigerian and Sudan.
Oguche, was handed over to the INTERPOL unit of the Nigeria Police by the Sudanese security authorities that flew into the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, in a special flight from Khartoum, at about 3 p.m..

Oguche, a deserter from the Nigerian Army, who masterminded the April bomb blast that killed over 200 people and left several others seriously injured, had escaped to the Republic of Sudan, where he had taken refuge, prompting the Nigerian National Bureau of Interpol to issue a red alert to INTERPOL, for his arrest.
Police sour said it took this long to get Oguche repatriated into the country “due to some necessary process involved in transferring suspects from one country to the other.”
Oguche, who had 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.
The State Security Security (SSS) had also taken the father of the suspect, Colonel Oguche, into custody after he could not produce his son.
The retired colonel was said to have taken his son on bail and stood as a surety with a promise to produce him as at when due.
The  Inspector General of Police( IGP), Mohammed Abubakar, had said the extradition of Sadiq Oguche to the global coalition against terrorism championed by Nigeria thad begun to yield the desired result just as he commended the personnel of the Nigeria Police Interpol Unit for a job well done.
