abagoro: Mr. Henry Okah who is standing trial in South African magistrate court, yesterday, told the court that President Goodluck Jonathan  and his aides organized  the October 1, 2010 bomb attacks in Abuja  in a desperate political strategy to demonize political opponents, and win popular sympathy ahead of the 2011 elections.

Henry Okah, the detained leader of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), who is being blamed for the 2010 Independence Day bomb that killed at least 10 people with many more injured, told a South African court the attacks were sponsored by President Goodluck Jonathan.



However,  the federal government who has linked MEND leader’s brother, Charles Okah and four others to the 2010 Independence Day twin bombing has also arraigned them before a Federal High Court in Abuja for the acts of terrorism and other treasonable offences. 

In a 194 page affidavit deposed to at a South African court, the MEND leader, Henry Okah yesterday said that the president and those working for him, had engineered similar attacks prior to October 1 bombing in March 2010.

Meanwhile, President Goodluck Jonathan has faulted the claims of Okah before a South African court.

Speaking through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, the president described Okah’s claims as not only false, but lacking factual foundation.

A statement made available to LEADERSHIP yesterday night reads in part: “The Presidency categorically affirms that these allegations are false in their entirety and without any factual foundation.

As the case of Mr. Okah’s involvement in the plotting and execution of terrorist attacks in Nigeria is already before a court of competent jurisdiction in South Africa, the Presidency does not intend to say anymore on the matter for now and will, in accordance with due process and international law, make a full representation on the matter to the court when the trial opens.”

What is the op and moderator up to? I thought stories on Nl are current issues. Else what is an allegation that was made in May 2012 doing in fp? Henry Okah made these spurous allegation when looking for straws to hold on to as a drowning man at about the close of his defence for the Oct 1 bomboing in south african court. He had since been found guilty and sentenced accordingly. So why bringing these claims here on this forum as if its recent? Pls don't drag us back. If there are no current issues to present, you can at least invent one on Tonto Dike and Nyanya!

...................

That report was written in May 2012 but we are now in July 2013 for goodness sake. It seems regurgitation of STALE and DECOMPOSED reports is the latest from the bag of tricks of online vultures. Desperation has surely crept in, all in attempt to resurrect the dying APC project. But the degree of shamelessness is just appalling.


Ma guy, in the light of recent events in rivers state, ngf, etc, this report is even more relevant today. There's nothing old about it. It is what Jonathan is, a deceiving ,lying and manipulative cretin.

Taking advantage of the present political atmosphere to attract web hits huh? "WHEN DID SEUN and his GOONS starts participating in partisan politics? Eh? Another is a heywired democratic-non-person who decided to post a May 3, 2012 article on NL! Well, I'm not suprised, negative publicity can be a perfect means for portraying "facts" that are quite "obvious"! Well, we the "RETARDENS" as you'd call us are not parturbed, daunted neither are we demotivated in our effort to make sure that your likes are TRANSFORMED! If YOU are indeed so desperate to take the reins of power, meet us at the pool come 2015! EGBERI FAA!

This is ridiculous, how can a president of a country mastermind bomb-blast in his country and at same time he would be at the stipulated venue? does he want to die? Okah is just looking for someone who will go down with him but unfortunately, he chose the wrong person.

Tell them my brother. We have a huge problem in this country. I jst imagine what the presidency, along with their hoard of internet specimen headed by insincere amoeba, would say had Buhari made such a statement. This is absolutely unheard of in the anals of governance. No one called him a militant when he made those statemnts yet they are quick to condemn Buhari once he makes any statement that features boko haram be it in their condemnation. And if i may ask, how many times hav the president condemned the activities of mend? Noseating hypocrites.
Okah is going thru what he's goin thru cos he knows to much an has refused to play ball.

You have allowed the ACN press to misguide you there bro. Let me lay it bare for you.

MEND came to an end when the militants received amnesty. Who were the leaders of MEND? That is the question you should ask. MEND really doesnt exist anymore. What you have are persons using the name of MEND to make statements. All the leaders of MEND aprt from Henry Orkah, who was not even really an active leader of MEND but an arms supplier, accepted amnesty. So technically, the President was 100% correct. But the problem is, there are diplomatic ways of passing out information to the public and obviuosly the President wasnt vast in that then. That is one reason why the President, if you notice, stopped making public statement for a while. He probably have given himself some lecture in public communication and I think I saw a bit of that in the meeting with the Borno Elders where he took them on on BH... grin

Technically speaking, there is no MEND, so MEND couldnt have carried out that bombing.

These are the leaders of MEND

Henry Okah
Dokubo-Asari
John Togo †
Ebikabowei Victor-Ben
Godswill Tamuno
Ateke Tom
Government Ekpemupolo
Soboma George †
Brutus Ebipadei
Solomon Ndigbara
Tubotamuno Angolia †

So tell me how MEND still exists and how the President was wrong. But like I said, he should not have made the statement the way he did because most people will not understand what he is saying.

That is what the MODS on NL do. Anytime Tinubu or his followers take a bashing here, they will quickly cook up an anti GEJ thread and rush it to the front page and start to insult GEJ. It smacks of utmost desperation and deception which is the only thing they are good at!

Be neutral in a government sponsored by Retardeen to kill innocent Nigerians? Was it not Jonathan himself who became a spokesperson for MEND following the October 1, 2010 bombing?

Was it not Jonathan who publicly called Boko Haram members his brothers and sisters? Azazi who informed Nigerians that Boko Haram is PDP and PDP is Boko Haram was systematically eliminated (killed) under this same Jonathan government.

Have we so soon forgotten the loss of lives under the dictatorship of Jonathan as regards the fuel subsidy palava? Who has been held accountable for those lives? Who instigated that unnecessary waste of lives due to his ineptitude and clueless leadership?

Who has been held accountable for the destruction of lives and properties in the North? And yet we claim we have a caring president in this country?!

Who has been held accountable for the loss of lives in Rivers when Patience Jonathan was distributing bags of rice and she unleashed her security operatives to be flogging Nigerians like goats which resulted into fatal calamities?

When Henry Okah (a well known arms dealer and militant for MEND) now says Jonathan masterminded October 1 bombing, who do we believe? Jonathan or Henry?

You have a functional brain, please use it.

The sole purpose of this thread is to put up a thread to insult GEJ and distract from the mess of APC in the last few days including

The overbearing foolishness of Tinubu

The blunder of the ACN house of reps members

The bashing they took from the failed thread where they tried to ridicule GEJ on his China trip.

They are liars, deceivers and jobless sycophants. Nothing more...and empty vessels to boot!
