Ogwuche was never arraigned on terrorism - Nigerian Police

The Police High Command yesterday in Abuja has said they never arraigned Nyanya suspected bomber, Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche who was recently freed by a court of law, but said the case against him was bungled and regrets that the media misled the public for so long. A press statement released by the command after the cut.

A statement signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, CP Emmanuel Ojukwu read: “The attention of the Nigeria Police High Command has been drawn to a most misleading media report that charges filed by the Nigeria Police at the Federal High Court Abuja, were struck out for lack of diligent prosecution in respect of the suspected terrorist Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche.

“It would be recalled that the Department of State Services (DSS), that had intelligence on the Nyanya Bombing and was investigating it, made a formal request to the Nigeria Police to assist in extraditing one Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche to Nigeria from Sudan, through the Interpol channel of which the Nigeria Police is well versed.

BREAKING: Court frees alleged mastermind of Nyanya bombing, Aminu Oguche

Now I believe the sponsors of Boko haram are within the government official. So report today says that a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has freed the suspected mastermind of the Nyanya bomb blast in Abuja, Aminu Ogwuche.

The court on Monday struck out a two-count terrorism charge against Mr. Ogwuche, after months of trial for the April 2014 attack which killed more than 70 people, hinging its decision on lack of diligent prosecution by the state.

Ogwuche, who is suspected to be a member of Boko Haram, was accused by the federal government of being behind the attack. The government accused Ogwuche of escaping to Sudan after coordinating the attack but was later repatriated to Nigeria to face charges.

More details will follow soon..
