Amini Sadiq Ogwuche who was earlier declared wanted alongside another suspect. Rufia Tsiga, was arrested in Sudan according to Mike Omeri, the director general of National Orientation agency (NOA). he was arrested through the help of the military attache' to the Nigerian High Commission in Sudan. He is expected to be extradited to Nigeria, once the formal process for his transfer back to Nigeria is completed.....
Oqwuche was born in the UK to Nigerian parents and had served in the intelligence unit of the Nigerian Army between 2001 and 2006. He is currently a student of Arabic language
He was first arrested in 2001 for alleged terrorist activities but was later released to his dad, a retired Colonel of the Nigerian Army.
His father, Rtd Colonel Agene Ogwuche has also been arrested and detained by the officials of the Department of Security for failing to meet up with the 2001 bail conditions given him for bailing his son after his arrest for terrorist activities. Explaining his arrest, the public relation officer of the Nigerian
Police, Frank Mba said....
.
"We don't run a system where the sins of the son are visited on the father or the sins of the father are visited on the son. The obligation of the father as at the time he took Sadiq on bail was to continue to produce Sadiq whenever he is needed until the case against Sadiq is finally disposed of. If he fails to discharge that responsibility, that on it's own does not confer the status of a terror suspect on him. He has only breached the condition of the bail and he will be brought to justice in accordance with the conditions of the bail. That explains why the DSS immediately took him in when he could not produce his son. And that is the farthest we can go. If he had signed a bond to forfeit a property or to forfeit a certain sum of money, he will be made to suffer the forfeitures but we cannot visit the sin of the father on the son"....he said.
