“Effectively, the accused Okah is therefore sentenced to 24 years imprisonment,” said Judge Neels Claassen.

He was found guilty of 13 terrorism-related charges over twin car bombings during Nigeria's independence day celebrations in 2010. At least 12 people were killed and 36 others injured.

Okah led a group which said it was fighting to help Niger Delta residents gain a greater share of the oil wealth.

  Died Boston, US, March 21, aged 82.

NIGERIAN novelist and poet Chinua Achebe was, for Nelson Mandela, "the writer in whose company the prison walls fell down".

Mandela was acknowledging not only the comfort Achebe's writings had brought him during his own 27 years in prison but also what he considered to be the novelist's equal contribution as an African "freedom fighter".
