After the horrible bombing went off, he flew out of the country to Sudan, where he was arrested by Sudanese officials who transferred him to Interpol.

On May 14 the Coordinator of the National Information Centre, Mike Omeri revealed that the Nigerian State Security officials had already arranged to have him extradited back to the country to face charges.

He said: “We wish to authoritatively confirm the interception and consequent arrest of one of the two suspects on the wanted list, Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche who fled to Sudan.

He will now face the Nigerian Justice system, after his absense delayed hearing of the case."
