The International Terrorist who Bombed Abuja has been Arrested

Kudos to the international community for coming to the rescue of Nigeria's at this time. Security agencies in the country have confirmed the arrest of international terrorist Abubakar Sadiq Ogwuche, one of the masterminds of the Nyanya bombing, in which 100 persons were killed and many others wounded.

On Monday, N25 million was placed on the head of Ogwuche and the main mastermind, Rufai Abubakar Tsiga. And just a day after, on Tuesday, International Police (Interpol) issued a warrant of arrest on the man, who was said to be hiding in Sudan.
"We should be happy that wherever a criminal is hiding, he will be fished out. Even if Nigerians would hide him others will fish him out. These terrorists live in our midst and we know them. The world is a small place now."
When the spokesperson of the Directorate of State Service (DSS), Marylyn Ogar, paraded five suspects who are connected with the incident in Abuja, she mentioned that a manhunt has been launched for this guy.

On his part, the Director General of National Orientation Agency (NOA), Mr. Mike Omeri, confirmed the arrest of Sadiq Ogwuche in Sudan, adding that he is awaiting extradition home to face charges.

The arrest was through the collaborative efforts of Interpol, DSS, Nigeria Police and the Military Attaché to the Nigerian High Commission in Sudan.

Sadiq Ogwuche, who is a student of Arabic Language at the International University of Africa, Sudan, is a British born Nigerian who deserted the Army in 2006. His service number was SVC 95/104.

He served in the Intelligence Unit of the Nigerian Army at Child Avenue, Arakan Barracks, Lagos, between 2001 and 2006.

He was allegedly involved in terrorist activities, leading to his arrest at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja on Nov. 12, 2011, on arrival from the UK. But he was released on bail to his father, retired Col. Agene Ogwuche on Oct. 15, 2012, following intense pressure from activists who alleged human rights violations.

On the inability of government to even locate where the girls are after one month in captivity, Mike Omeri said it was not a peculiar situation. In his words:

"When Americans were held hostage in Iraq, even though America knew where they were being kept, it took 200 days for them to be rescued. We do not even know where these girls are. We will rescue the girls but it will not take 200 days."
