The disagreement between the Nigerian Police and the Department of Security Service (DSS) over which one of them will prosecute the alleged master mind of the April 14,Nyanya bomb blast, Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche Friday stalled his arraignment before the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja. The Police had insisted that it would prosecute the matter while the Department of State Service, whose custody the accused is, is also laying claim to an order to prosecute the accused person.
The Inspector General of Police on behalf of the Federal Government had initially filed charge before the Court which aided Ogwuche’s extradition from Sudan to Nigeria. The three-count charge filed on behalf of the IGP by Oloye Torugbene, a Deputy Superintendent of Police alleged the suspect conspired with others (at large), to commit an act of terrorism by detonating improvised explosive devices at Nyanya Motor Park, which resulted in the death of 75 persons and injuring over a hundred other persons.
Count two of the charge reads: “That you, Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche, Male, and others now at large, on the 14th of April, 2014 at Nyanya, FCT, Abuja, within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, did facilitate the activities of persons engaged in an act of terrorism; by detonating improvised explosive devices at the Nyanya motor park which resulted in the death of 75 persons and injuring over a hundred other persons.”
