Geomac: Johannesburg - Nigerian Henry Okah was jailed for 24 years by the South Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg on Tuesday.

"Effectively, the accused [Okah] is therefore sentenced to 24 years imprisonment," Judge Neels Claassen said as he handed down sentence.

On 21 January, Okah was found guilty on 13 counts of terrorism, including engaging in terrorist activities, conspiracy to engage in terrorist activities, and delivering, placing, and detonating an explosive device.

Car bombs

The charges related to two car bombs in Abuja, Nigeria, in which 12 people were killed and 36 injured on 1 October 2010, the anniversary of the country's independence.

The second bombing took place in Warri on 15 March 2010 at a post amnesty dialogue meeting. One person was killed and 11 seriously injured.

In both bombings, two car bombs went off minutes apart in both places. The cars were parked in close proximity to each other.

Claassen sentenced Okah to 12 years imprisonment for each of the bombings and 13 years for the threats made to the South African government after his arrest in October 2010.

The 13 years would run concurrently with the 24 years.

In January, during judgment Claassen said the State had proved Okah's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, and his failure to testify meant the evidence against him remained uncontested.
Okah has denied any involvement, claiming the charges against him were politically motivated.

OsunOriginal: Shut up your ignorant mouth. Those who are opposed to amnesty are the real trouble makers who hope to benefit from the crisis and a divided Nigerian populace.

What is wrong in declaring amnesty if that will bring to the public the faces behind boko haram (or what do they call it)? If this will stop bombing of innocent Nigerians, why should a sane person say no to it especially when the same imbe. has no other solution to the problem.

If federal government will not give amnesty to boko haram because they belief they are ghosts, what other solution do they have? They have to tell us this, otherwise some of us will begin to think the government is benefiting or plans to benefit from this crisis and may even be the one covertly behind it.

Now that is clear that GEJ will lose south west come 2015 no matter what, they want to bring boko haram here to intimidate and divide us. This will not work - evil will not take over south west.

That is a country that values the office of the president and therefore,they deem it fit that only noble men should occupy that sit.however in Nigeria,the reverse is the case because vagabonds have found their way into that office and its presidential status has diminished over time.

“Even their embassy was finding it hard getting
information out of them. an embassy official
called Mr Tony was doing his best to help us,
but even he could not get anything out of
them.” When information eventually came, it was too
limited, according to Oyeyode. “They told us they were coming with a 25-man
delegation, but didn't give us any names, so we
could not book the connecting flight to Calabar
early. “When it was getting late, we used our
relationship with the airline to book 25 seats
with no names, only for them to arrive with a
35-man party. “In their letter, they never said they wanted to
train in Lagos. The arrangement was for them
to come in and fly straight to Calabar. But their
flight arrived at noon, and the flight to Calabar
is usually at 11am. “At no time did we discuss anything about a
chartered aircraft. Even our own team, who
are African champions, flew to Calabar on a
regular commercial flight.”

braine: This doesn't make sense. I wonder if they considered factors like population and the location of the foriegner in the country. Majority of the top countries have low population density.

Nigeria should be on the top list, but no, all thanks to Boko Haram.
