MEND wey Henry be their Oga before say dem no dey happy with wetin happen say everything na something wey be say the Government of Nigeria and South Africa don plan before jaw(wetin concern us sef? in as much say dem don send am go jail for wetin him do now)
The judge wey him name be Claaseen talk say the 2 BOMBING na to disgrace President Jonathan...
But wetin dey baffle me be say our own Government neva talk about this Judgement ooo..
Dem don find Okah guilty fo South Gauteng High Court for Johannesburg.
make una read wetin the judge talk when him dey pass him judgement:
“Having found the accused guilty in the 13-count charge of acts of terrorism, it’s now the duty of the court to sentence him, taking into account the position of the victim, the convict and the world community.”
As a signatory, South Africa is duty bound to adopt the treaty and incorporate it into the laws of South Africa, in other words domicile the treaty,”
The second event occurred on October 1, 2010, in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city, where two car bombs exploded killing eight people with several others injured.
“Third event is the threat to the Nigerian government. All these three events were targeted at embarrassing President Goodluck Jonathan.”
“The convict during the trial had never accepted any responsibility nor shown any remorse in spite of the fact that overwhelming evidence linked him with MEND which claimed responsibilities for the bombings
Having considered that the convict does not have any criminal record both in South Africa and in Nigeria before the struggle in the Niger Delta, I am of the considered view that his clean record both in South Africa and Nigeria should add to his sentence mitigation. Also, the fact that his children will suffer emotionally for his absence if maximum sentence is given is considered in mitigation of his sentence,”
This is not an easy matter to deal with in sentencing. The sentence of the convict to life imprisonment is not appropriate and to give him suspended sentence is equally not appropriate. To strike a balance, the convict is hereby sentenced to 12 years in prison for accounts 1,3,5,7, 9 and 11 for the Warri bombings.
“The accused is sentenced to 12 years for counts 2,4,6,8 and 10 for the Abuja bombings. The accused is sentenced to 10 years for the threat to the government of Nigeria.
“However, the sentence for counts 2,4,6,8,10 and 13 will run concurrently. In all the accused is hereby sentenced to 24 years in prison.”
The MEND spokesman,Jomo Gbomo talk the Okah trial now Sham
make una read wetin dem talk for the statement wey dem release:
“The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta received with incredulity the 24 years sentence planned on Henry Okah after a sham trial in a South African kangaroo court.
“We are disappointed but not surprised that the South African judiciary has allowed itself to be compromised by the highly corrupt Nigerian government.
“The governments of South Africa and Nigerian should realise that this planned sentencing of Henry Okah would not in any way, shape or form change our struggle as we will remain dedicated to our cause until we achieve full justice and emancipation for the Niger Delta and its people.”
Okah wey talk say him no dey involve for any of the thing wey dem dey talk about,say na Political games
