The National Social Contract Initiative (NSCI) has applauded the arrest in faraway Sudan, of one of the April 14, 2014 Nyanya bomb blast masterminds, Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche.
The group noted that the arrest of Ogwuche, was made possible due to effective collaboration between Nigeria’s security operatives and INTERPOL.
A statement by NSCI’s Assistant Publicity Secretary, Onazi Adadu Onazi, states “We are encouraged to note that the global collaboration is yielding dividends.
“We also commend the efforts of the security agencies in the country in arresting suspects of the April 14, 2014, Nyanya bus terminal bomb blast that resulted in the unfortunate death of 75 innocent Nigerians and left many others injured.
“The two separate arrests are a clear demonstration that our forces have the capacity and are capable of performing their constitutional roles.
“The arrest of Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche in Sudan by our security agencies acting in concert with INTERPOL is a testimony that the Federal Government is committed to fighting the war against terror and restoring peace to the North East geo-political zone in particular and the entire nation at large.
“The close up on Boko Haram and their collaborators, locally and internationally, is also a clear indication that the war on insurgency and terrorism is being won and Boko Haram in Nigeria will soon be a thing of the past. We urge Nigerians to continue to support the security operatives in the country by being vigilant and providing useful information to the relevant authorities in the fight against terror”.
The statement further enjoined the National Assembly to expedite action and accede to President Goodluck Jonathan’s request, seeking to extend emergency rule in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa States. “We urge our lawmakers to put aside political, ethnic and other considerations by quickly approving the President’s second request to extend the state of emergency as we are of the firm believe that emergency rule area is contributing positively to the restoration of peace in the North East,” Onazi stated.
