Nyanya Bomb Blast: Court Frees Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche

Ogwuche in court on Monday

A federal court in Abuja has freed Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche, the suspected mastermind of the Nyanya bomb attack in Abuja.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the court struck out a two-count terrorism charge against Mr. Ogwuche for want of diligent prosecution, after months of trial for the April 2014 attack which killed more than 70 people. Ogwuche was repatriated from Sudan, where he fled to after the bombing of the park. He had filed a counter suit challenging the infringement of his fundamental right by the prosecutor and the court granted his prayer and dismissed the charges against him.
