A
SOUTH African court on Tuesday jailed Nigerian national, Henry Okah for
24 years after he was convicted of 13 terrorism charges over twin
bombings in Abuja in 2010.
“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.
