Nyanya Bomb Blast Masterminder Ogwuche Begs Court for Bail

Aminu Ogwuche, who allegedly masterminded the April 14 bomb blast that killed over 75 persons at a crowded motor park in Nyanya Abuja, yesterday, begged a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja to order his immediate release from detention.

In an ex-parte application he filed through a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr. Ahmed Raji, Ogwuche, told the court that since July 15, 2014, when he was arrested in Khartoum, Sudan and extradited to Nigeria, he said the Federal government has neither arraigned, tried nor granted him administrative bail despite several demands, Vanguard reports.
The accused person, told the trial court that he has been denied access to his family members, medical personnel or counsel and according to him, through his counsel;

“The applicant is a Nigerian citizen and a student of the international University of Africa, Khartoum, Sudan. The applicant is a decent young man of 29 years trying to forge ahead academically with the hopes of a brilliant future. He has no criminal record.
“That the grant of this interim application will reduce the hardship being meted out on the applicant by his continued detention by the respondents, particularly the 1st Respondent’s refusal to grant the applicant access to his solicitor, physician and family members”, Raji begged the court through an affidavit in support of the motion.

Ogwuche was in the charge before the court, alleged to have 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.
