South Africa’s Supreme Court of Appeal will on Wednesday,
November 26 hear the appeal of the convicted leader of the
Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND),
Henry Okah, regarding the jurisdiction of a South African
court to try him in the first place.
According to Channels Television, Okah was convicted of a
13-count charge of terrorism, related to the bombings at
the Eagles Square in Abuja as well as another in Warri,
which left a number of casualties in 2010.

Judge Neels Claasen of the South Gauteng High Court
sentenced him to 24 years in prison early last year.
In November of the same year, he failed in his bid to appeal
against the merits of the case but was granted leave to
appeal against certain aspects of the case.
The three-point application sought leave to appeal against
the jurisdiction of the court to hear counts 1-12, duplication
of charges with regard to counts three to eight as well as
his conviction on count 13 regarding his allegedly
threatening to engage in terrorist activity.
Judge Neels Claassen granted leave to the applicant for the
first and last points but denied leave to appeal the aspect of
duplication of charges.
