The armed militant group, Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND, on Tuesday condemned the 24-year jail term passed on its leader, Henry Okah, by the South African High Court over charges that he masterminded a series of terrorism incidents, including the October 1, 2010 twin bombings in Abuja.
The group threatened ‘hell’ over the conviction of Mr. Okah. Read details at: http://premiumtimesng.com/news/127047-mend-threatens-hell-over-okahs-jail-as-keyamo-condemns-judgement.html

Justice Neels Claaseen of the High Court in South
Gauteng in South Africa on Tuesday sentenced Mr.
Okah to 24 years in prison after finding him guilty
on 13 terrorism charges, including the Abuja
bombing in which a dozen persons were killed as
Nigeria was celebrating its 50th independence
anniversary.
According to Mr. Claassen, during the trial Mr. Okah
showed little remorse for his crime. He also pointed
out that Mr. Okah’s intentions in the bombing
incidents were to “obtain maximum casualties.”




More than enough reason why should have bagged a life sentence. Bragging over nothing.

Let them go and show the "hell" in South Africa, very foolish set of people.

But i still dont understand why he was tried in south african over the act committed in Nigeria. Is this the new step of prosecuting terrorist or lack of confidence in the Nigerian Judiciary

Dear MEND,
Please start from Otuoke
Thank you
