A British-born student accused of being a ringleader of Islamist group Boko Haram dubbed himself ‘The Lion of God’ and threatened to cut the hands and feet off non-believers while living in Britain, The Daily Mirror can reveal.
Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche, 29, is believed to be in custody in Sudan after he was arrested on suspicion of carrying out terror attacks in Nigeria which killed more than 90 people.
But the Mirror has learned Ogwuche is a British university drop-out who appears to have become radicalised while studying for a business degree at the University of South Glamorgan in Wales from 2007 to 2010.
Ogwuche studied for a degree in Business Science while living in various addresses in the quiet valleys town of Pontypridd.
He was a member of the university’s debating society and wrote on an online professional profile: “I used to be in the military back at home and my goal now is to be a successful businessman.”
He failed to finish the course but was a regular at the campus prayer room where he would regularly pray with fellow students.
While living in South Wales Ogwuche’s posts on social media he was becoming increasingly extreme.
In one post in 2011 he wrote: “The only punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is that they should be murdered, or crucified, or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides, or they should be imprisoned.”
In another chilling post he wrote: “We warn you to give up your disobeyance to Allah and surrender to him or wait we bring your humiliation then you will be regretful and on the knees.”
His profile picture is of a lion with the word “Asadullah”, meaning ‘Lion of God’.
