‘I enjoy killing people’: Chilling Confession Of Nyanya Bombing Mastermind (PICTURED)
Nyanya bomb blast suspect
who was recently extradited from Sudan, has began with stunning observation at
State Security Service (SSS) Headquarters in Abuja. Contrary to the expectation
of interrogation officers that Ogwuche will become sober as a result of his
ordeal and probably ask for forgiveness. He is allegedly defiant and vowing to
continue with what he termed as spiritual revolution at the least opportunity.
The suspected terrorist,
who was wearing trousers and long sleeve with blue colour stripes, said in
fluent English language that he has no regrets for his dastardly act in the
April 14, 2014 bomb blast that killed over 70 people and injured about 120
others at Nyanya area of Abuja.
“I don’t deny that I am the
executioner of the Nyanya bomb incident. I did it in order to draw government’s
attention to our demands. We want our detained colleagues released and
compensation paid to those of our colleagues who were killed by the federal
troops during operations. We want Islamic rule in the whole of northern
Nigeria. Western education is a sin against Allah. It’s time for dialogue
between government and Boko Haram leaders for the way out of the deadlock,” he
was quoted as saying.
Ogwuche was immediately
taken into custody from the special flight which touched down at Nnamdi Azikiwe
International Airport at about 3 pm on Tuesday July 15, 2014. The flight
arrived from Khartoum, Sudan, to hand the returnee fugitive over to Nigeria
Security Forces for interrogation. On hand to receive him at the Presidential wing
of the airport were spokepersons of the police, ACP Frank Mba, Department of
State Services, Marilyn Ogar, Major General Chris Olukolade of the Army and
coordinator, National Information Centre, Mike Omeri.
National Daily sources said
Ogwuche had camouflaged as a student of Arabic language at the International
University of Africa, Sudan, before eagle eyed security operatives uncovered
and arrested him.
He was extradited after
nearly three months of intensed diplomatic and security engagement between the
federal government and the Sudanese counterpart.
National Daily learnt that
stringent efforts were being made to extradite other fugitive suspected
terrorists from Sudan and other African countries.
“This is a great
breakthrough for the security forces especially the International Police
(Interpol). The department of state services in Nigeria collaborated with the
Nigerian police to achieve this feat. They got the Interpol to be involved in
the intelligence and strategic planning which resulted in the arrest of Aminu
Ogwuche.
So, Ogwuche is right now
with the State Security Services who are closely working with the police,” said
an informed security source, adding: “His preliminary interrogation has began.
We know it is the duty of the police to prosecute but we are talking about
national security here. So far, Ogwuche is facing preliminary interrogation by
a team comprised of SSS officials and the police. I can tell you that he was
first detained at Abuja Interpol office before he was moved to an undisclosed
DSS detention centre in Abuja. He is expected to be handed over to the Police
for prosecution.
“The government must do
something now or the bombing will continue. There is no regretting anything
because we are fighting a just cause to liberate our people from western
education and religion,” the light complexioned and gaunt looking suspected
terrorist said.
Ogwuche vowed not to
forgive the federal government for waging war against Islamic fundamentalists
in the country saying that Boko Haram highest echelon is prepared to contain
government determined onslaught against terrorists.
“Federal government has
been trying without success to wipe out Boko Haram. They killed our leader,
Muhammed Yusuf and hundreds of others yet we still exist. We are a force to be
recognized. You ignore us at your own peril. We are particularly pained by the
killing of hundreds of our members across the forest in northern part of the
country. Although we equally killed federal troops, we will never forgive the
federal government for the incessant killings. We are well armed to fight back
and we will never surrender. Boko Haram is well funded and highly equipped
organization with capacity to take over the whole country if it so desires,”
Ogwuche ranted.
The Nyanya bomb blast
mastermind boasted that he is still lusting to shed more blood of those he
described as “infidels.”
“If I am left alone, I will
still kill those infidels who have refused to repent of their sins against
Allah. This is my mission on earth. My mission is to wipe out infidels from the
face of the earth. You call me bomb detonator, and I love that. I am ready to
kill again. In fact, I enjoy killing people who are unbelievers; those deceived
by western education and disobedient to Allah and his holy Koran. I don’t care
what will happen to me now because if I die, I shall go to heaven for doing god’s
work. I won’t beg anybody for forgiveness but I can assure you that my so
called trial will not be an easy exercise. If I like, I plead not guilty in
court to make things difficult for the federal government but inside my mind, I
know I did the damn thing. It is my word against federal government evidence. I
know a little bit about the intricacies of the law through the study of several
law books. Nobody can push me around because I am not a fool,” said Ogwuche who
was born in the United Kingdom.
The captured fugitive
terrorist who regaled his interrogators with gory tale of his exploits in the
world of violence said he and hundreds of Boko Haram members were trained in
Somalia and Pakistan in the science of terrorism. “I don’t deny that we have
links with foreign terrorist groups. We have many friends as well as may
enemies. It doesn’t matter if I am killed others will continue the struggle.
There are millions of Boko Haram members in Nigeria and overseas. Was our great
leader Mohammed Yusuf not killed, did his death lead to the end of the Boko
Haram? We are determined to start a big jihad across the nation, first, wait
and see. Our is something like spiritual revolution. When they arrested Kabiru
Sokoto, they celebrated as if Boko Haram is all about Kabiru Sokoto. That is
how they celebrated the death of Yusuf Mohammed. They will keep celebrating
individuals while million agents of Boko Haram operate,” Ogwuche said.
National Daily learned that
before he was extradited to Nigeria, Oguche has been in detention in Sudan
since he was declared wanted by the Department of State Security which
identified him as the mastermind of the Nyanya, Abuja bomb blast along with one
Rufai Tsega who is still at large.
Before his arrest and detention in Sudan by Interpol, the Department of State Security, had on May 11, 2014, announced a N25 million reward for any one who could give information that could lead to the arrest of Ogwuche and Tsiga.

As SSS official described
Ogwuche Ogwuche who was born in the United Kingdom as any army deserter who
served in the Intelligence Unit of the Nigerian Army at Child Avenue, Arakan
Barracks, Lagos, between 2001 and 2006.
Five suspects, including
Ahmed Abubakar, 43, Mohammed Ishag 30, Yari Sandu, 28, Anas Isah 22 and Adamu
Yusuf, a cleric, 43, have already been paraded for their alleged involvement in
the bombing.
During his preliminary
interrogation recently, Ogwuche was said to have disclosed that he specialized
in assuming any character he wishes to assume. “I can become anything in other
to hide my true identity. That is part of our training. While in Sudan, I
camouflaged as a student to evade the security. I was surprised that they got
me at last.
“I received part of my
training in Somalia because there are so many knowledgeable foreign and local
terrorist agents there. It is the same in Sudan but the difference is that in
Somalia, you have a lot of caves to hide from security agents. I use to go to
Somalia in order to meet other terrorists there,” Ogwuche was quoted by a
security source as having said.
The unrepentant terror
suspect also allegedly told his captors of how he usually sneaked into the
country from his hide out overseas to unleash mayhem and escape without being
captured. “We used to come in from Chad-Niger border and carry out our
activities. But owing to security presence, we shifted to Cameroonian border in
Mambisa. But the Army people will not allow us to rest. They killed a lot of
our people there and we ran for our dear life,” said Ogwuche who talked about
how he escaped from Nigeria after the Nyanya blast.
“I had the arrangement
ready, all the funds and logistics to enable me escape. Immediately after the
blast, I was taken away from the apian way unknown to security operatives.”
Earlier reports on the
arrest of Ogwuche, indicated that the Sudanese authorities were reluctant to
extradite him to Nigeria as a result of interference by a top Northern Emir
among other interests.
It was however, learned
that it was in a bid to circumvent these ‘interests’ that the process of extradition
of the suspect to the country was made top secret by security operatives until
his arrival in the country yesterday afternoon.
In line with the security
ploy to keep Ogwuche’s extradition secret, the Police headquarters had sent an
SMS inviting newsmen to cover the unveiling of a “Special Counter Terrorism
equipment” at the airport, only for Ogwuche to be introduced as the
“equipment.”
Commenting on Ogwuche’s extradition earlier in the day, the Sudanese Ambassador to Nigeria, Dr Tagelsir Mahgoub, who was apparently not aware that the suspect was already in the country, said: “All the papers (for his extradition) were signed by the two parties (Nigeria and Sudan).

“What we are waiting for
now is for the Nigerian government to send a delegation that will come to our
embassy to get their visas because everything has been concluded.
“And I must say that there
should not be any delay, because it will delay the whole process.”
Meanwhile, the
Inspector-General of Police, MD Abubakar, while commending the personnel of the
Nigeria Police Interpol Unit for a job well done, noted that the successful
repatriation of the terror fugitive to Nigeria shows that the global coalition
against terrorism championed by Nigeria is beginning to yield the desired
result.
“Following the conclusion
of tortuous legal and diplomatic processes between Nigeria and the Republic of
Sudan, the co-mastermind of the Nyanya Motor Park bombing in which scores of
citizens died and hundreds wounded, Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche was Tuesday, 15th July,
2014 extradited to the country from Sudan where he had taken refuge.
Aminu Ogwuche who was
handed over to the Interpol Unit of the Nigeria Police Force by the Sudanese
Authorities was flown into the country in a special flight from Khartoum which
touched down at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport. It would be recalled
that the terror fugitive who had long since been arrested in Sudan following an
international red notice issued for his arrest by the Nigeria National Bureau
of Interpol had not been repatriated to the country before now due to some
necessary processes involved in transferring suspects from one country to
another.
Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche is a
British born terrorist and Nigerian army deserter associated with the Boko
Haram terror group and suspected of being one of the organizers of bomb attacks
in the Nigerian capital Abuja. Ogwuche is the son of a retired Nigerian Army
colonel and an indigene of Orokam, Ogbadibo LGA, Benue State, Nigeria.
According to the Department of State Security, Ogwuche served in the
Intelligence Unit of the Nigerian Army at Child Avenue, Arakan Barracks, Lagos,
between 2001 and 2006 with service Number 95/104 and is reported to have
deserted in 2006.
Ogwuche is a student of
Arabic Language at the International University of Africa, Sudan and studied
for a degree in Business Science at the University of Glamorgan between 2007
and 2010 but failed to finish the course and was not awarded a degree. Ogwuche
was first arrested in Nigeria in 2011 but released in 2012 Ogwuche was arrested
by Interpol in Sudan on an international warrant in connection with the April
2014 Abuja bombing in the suburb of Nyanya, which killed 75 people on 14 April
2014 and the May 2014 Abuja bombing which killed 19 people on 1 May 2014.
Ogwuche is also wanted in connection with the Chibok schoolgirl kidnapping.
Ogwuche, served in the intelligence unit of the Nigerian Army between 2001 and
2006.
The efforts by Nigeria’s
security agencies led by the Department of State Security Services (SSS) to apprehend
those behind the April 14 bomb blast at a motor park in Nyanya, Abuja, paid off
with the arrest of a co-mastermind of the dastardly act.
“Rufai Abubakar Tsiga, a Boko Haram leader, is the mastermind of the bombing of April 14, 2014 at El-Rufai Motor Park, Abuja.Tsiga was actively aided by a co-mastermind, AminuSadiq Ogwuche”, Ogar said.

Earlier, the service had
paraded five suspects Ahmad Abubakar (aka Abu Ibrahim/Mai Turare), Mohammed
Ishaq, Yau Saidu (aka Kotar Rama) AnasIsah and Adamu Yusuf they confessed to
been privy to the plot to bomb Nyanya.
Ogwuche, the son of a
retired army colonel, Agene Ogwuche, was reportedly arrested through the help
of the Military Attaché to the Nigerian High Commission in Sudan with the help
of international security operatives, National Daily Newspaper learned.
Nigerians are anxiously
waiting for the urgent extradition of other suspected terror-fugitives. Most
importantly, Nigerians want an end to this carnage.
