Nigeria dangles US$ 167,000 reward for information on Abuja UN house bomber

Security-Nigeria - Nigeria's State Security Service (SSS) said here Sunday that it would reward any information leading directly to the apprehension or conviction of Mamman Nur, the mastermind of the bomb attack at the UN House in Abuja, the Nigerian Federal capital city.

In a statement, signed by SSS spokesperson Marilyn Ogar, the organization said that Nur was still wanted, adding 'If you have any information concerning this person, please contact the nearest Police Station, Military formation or any other security agency.'

Ogar said that following the bombing of the UN building on 26 August, 2011, by Boko Haram, which claimed about 23 lives, Nur  was identified as the mastermind and was subsequently declared wanted.

Meanwhile, four alleged Nur co-conspirators appeared in an Abuja courtroom Friday.

Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for many bombings of public places.
