[size=14pt]Bomb Blast: Gbomo Jomo arrested[/size]
…As anxiety hits Henry Okah



Charles Tombra Okah, immediate younger brother of Henry Okah, known in the terrorist circle as Gbomo Jomo has been arrested by armed men of Nigeria's State Security Service,SSS, in a hideout at his house located at 14, Oranmiyan close, Apapa, Lagos.

While Henry Okah accuses Charles of impersonating him and extorting money from people, Okah’s wife claimed that Charles is a businessman who has nothing to do with MEND.

"Charles Okah is not involved in the activities of MEND or in the bomb blasts that took place in Abuja," she said. "He is also not Jomo Gbomo of MEND. He is a businessman."

But while in a South African Court, Okah told prosecutors that “"My brother Charles has faked my voice and has been collecting money and negotiating a ceasefire claiming to be me," it was alleged to have said.”What treachery is this?"

His arrests and transfer to the underground cell of SSS is not unconnected with the confessions of some ex-militants in SSS custody who confirmed Okah as the spokesman of MEND.

Also, evidence found in his laptop, desktop, phone and diary confirmed that Charles have been having regular discussion and communication exchange with Henry in South Africa. Security sources confirmed that Charles has been singing like 'bird' and ready to name all his accomplice in the terrorist ring. It would be recalled that by the time his house was surrounded by security operatives, close to the Directorate of Military Intelligence, DMI, he tried to jump the fence, but was overpowered and handcuffed.

Meanwhile, the moment Henry got wind of his brother's arrest at his lonely cell in Johannesburg,South Africa, he had become tensed, withdrawn and violent fearing that Charles may confess to the terrorist activity of MEND that may eventually lead him to jail. As at press time,Marilyn Ogar, spokesperson of SSS has not refute Jomo's arrest.

I hope, for their own sake, the SSS is doing the right thing this time. If Charles Okah is actually the elusive Gbomo Jomo, Henry could be on his way to freedom, or death.

You failed to make sense with the text you chose. So security operatives can't make someone confess to a crime? What then are they paid for? And the president's camp can't find a widely read medium but Pointblank news?
Re: Gbomo Jomo (Henry Okah's Brother) Is Arrested? by Nobody: 8:35am On Oct 19, 2010
Charles was picked up on Saturday. One of the bombers that actually detonated the explosives was picked up yesterday

Okah (Charles and Henry) may go down with this

Did the report so ''the security operatives made him to confess?'' . . . . . . . . .It only used the ''he was ready to confess'' . . . . . . . . . . . . .So why cant you be honest enough to ask the security operatives . . . . ''why he has not confessed yet?''

You still aren't making any iota of sense.

This is a highly sensitive case, individuals involved might be facing charges of treason, you really don't expect security operatives to give out full details of such investigations. . .

[size=18pt]Nigeria's MEND Repeats Warning To Abuja's Residents [/size]

.StumbleUponDiggTwitterYahoo BuzzFarkRedditLinkedIndel.icio.usMySpace Text LONDON (Dow Jones)--A spokesman for the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, also known as MEND, Tuesday repeated a warning of possible attack in Nigeria's capital of Abuja, after a previous threat didn't materialize.

In an e-mail to the media, Jomo Gbomo, a pseudonym, said: "We hereby repeat our warnings to the residents of Abuja, the heart of the country and to all persons who will be interested in attending the political [presidential campaign] organised by the president Goodluck Jonathan."

Nigeria president Jonathan, who stepped in after the death of his predecessor Umaru Yar'adua, is a candidate for presidential elections due January 2011.

Gbomo Friday threatened a new bombing in Abuja over the arrest of MEND's alleged leader, Henry Okah, in South Africa, but no attack appears to have taken place since.

Okah, ex-leader of MEND, was arrested a few weeks ago in Johannesburg, a day after twin car bombings in Nigeria's capital Abuja killed 12 people. Okah has denied any involvement in the car bombings, according to his lawyers.

Key MEND commanders have accepted the amnesty, but some fighters refused to lay down arms, saying the deal was a "charade" that failed to address the key issues of under-development and injustice in the delta.

Truth: They should do their Job if that will make OBJ, IBB and their cronies go back to jail.

But then, This case also must not go same way as others.

All cases of unresolved killings must be re-visited.

But those who sells their vote and future thinking Yoruba is their probs will wait soo long before they can rule this Nation-Nigeria.

Nope! not  ghost chasing but the unravelling of the mystery man called Jomo Gbomo. Between Henry and his senior brother, Charles (erroneously reported as younger brother) lies the demystification of the phantom  known as Jomo Gbomo.

The Okah brothers work for nobody but themselves. Charles and Henry are greedy individuals and nothing stands sacred to them where money is involved. Charles mastered the act of riding on Henry's fame (or do l say notoriety) to extort money.

Re: Gbomo Jomo (Henry Okah's Brother) Is Arrested? by Beaf: 7:55pm On Oct 19, 2010
Dokubo Asari, in a 2009 interview set out the details of how MEND was formed, who was at the meeting, who Jomo Gbomo is etc.
According to Asari, Henry Okah is Jomo Gbomo. Any other person with the yahoo account details, got them off Henry Okah.

Of course, there are a few fake, non-Niger Delta Jomo Gbomo's flying around the place, like the fool that sent the Zamfara threat; he/she/it couldn't even spell Niger Delta! They wrote Niger Delt[b]er[/b]!
Re: Gbomo Jomo (Henry Okah's Brother) Is Arrested? by welovethee(m): 10:24pm On Oct 19, 2010
Why ask who Jomo Gbomo is? Jomo Gbomo has become a house hold name.
Any one, including you, can simply get an internet access and send an email
and sign as Jomo Gbomo. That is not the issue here. The issue is who
masterminded the Independence day Bomb Blast?

If our government is a serious one, the masquerades will soon be unmasked.
