Aminu Ogwuche, suspected Nyanya (Abuja) bombing mastermind was brought back from Sudan to Nigeria. He was brought back from Sudan where he allegedly escaped to after the bomb which claimed 100 lives.

The Federal Government declared Ogwuche and other suspect wanted after the April 14 bombing incident. Onwuachi was previously in jail on terrorism issue but was released by SSS to his father, an retired Nigerian officer. It was while on bail that Aminu hatched the plan with his Boko Haram partners to bomb Nyanya, Abuja. He escaped to Sudan but was intercepted by the Interpol.

At first Sudan refused to hand him over but President Omar Al-Bashar quickly relented when Interpol threatened to activate the International Criminal arrest warrant outstanding against the Sudanese President.
