The extradition of the mastermind of
the April 14, 2014, bombings of Nyanya-
Abuja Motor Park that claimed the lives
of about 100 people, Aminu-Sadiq
Ogwuche might take longer than
expected as the Sudanese government
was said to have refused to cooperate
with the Nigerian officials in their effort
to extradite the suspect.
Saturday Vanguard gathered that
Sudan’s refusal to extradite Ogwuche
followed the alleged intervention of a
powerful Nigerian in one of the
traditional institutions in Nigeria. He
was was said to have moved in to stop
the extradition of Ogwuche using the
instrumentality of his Alma Mata,
African International University, in
Sudan.
Apart from this, Sudan whose
President, Omar al-Bashir, who is
wanted by the International Criminal
Court, ICC, for genocide, war crimes and
crimes against humanity in Darfur, has
no bilateral agreement with any
country in the world on extradition of
criminals.
Reliable security sources in Abuja said
that the Nigerian, who has used the
Alma Mata on several occasions to
recommend and secure admission for
some willing Nigerians youths in Sudan,
is believed to have used his influence
to reach out to some old students of
the university to frustrate the
extradition of Ogwuche possibly to
prevent Nigerian security from getting
details from the suspect on some of the
financiers of Boko Haram terrorists in
Nigeria.
