The Federal Government has placed a British born army deserter, Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche, who is suspectedNyanya Park Abuja to have connections with the April 14 Nyanya bus station bombing on Interpol red alert.

The Announcement was made by the Director General of the National Orientation Agency, Mr Mike Omeri in Abuja during the national briefing on security in Abuja yesterday.

The Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Frank Mba explained that the Interpol red alert represented an international warrant of arrest to the 190 member countries and consequent extradition of anyone placed on the red alert to the issuing country.

“Interpol red alert is an international request for cooperation. It is usually issues by the National Bureau of any of the member states and in this case, it is being issued at the instance of the Nigerian National Bureau of Interpol. Interpol red alert operates as an international warrant of arrest and consequently mandates security forces in its current 190 member states to join in the search and possible arrest of the fugitive who has been so cited in the Interpol red alert notice. We therefore believe that with this, Interpol will galvanise security forces worldwide to join in the search and consequent arrest and perhaps extradition of the fugitive who has been declared wanted by the DSS,” he said.

Also, the federal government has appealed to religious leaders in the country not to allow their members reduce the ongoing security challenge to a religious issue.
