Oguche, mastermind of Nyanya bomb blast, arrested in Sudan

One of the alleged masterminds of the April 14 Nyanyan bomb blast, Aminu Oguche, has been arrested in Sudan.
The Police Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, had on Tuesday, hinted that Interpol had issued a red alert for the search and arrest of the suspect who was once arrested on suspicion of terrorism but released following pressure from human rights groups and the father of the suspect.
Briefing newsmen on the update on the kidnapped Chibok girls in Abuja, Coor­dinator of the National Infor­mation Centre, Mike Omeri, said Oguche, who had been on the wanted list of the security agencies was arrested in Su­dan on Tuesday night.
Omeri, who was surround­ed by spokespersons of the military, the police and the State Security Services, said the security agencies in the country were working with their counterparts in Sudan to extradite the suspect, who was a deserter of the Nigerian Army, back to the country.
The Deputy Director in charge of Public Relations at the State Security Services, Marylyn Ogar, had on Tues­day hinted that the security agencies discovered Oguche had escaped to Sudan, when his father could not produce him.
