Henry Okah is Sentenced To 24yrs Imprisonment.

Mr Henry Okah has been sentenced to 24 years imprisonment by a South African Judge after being earlier found guilty of terrorism in January. "Effectively, the accused (Okah) is therefore sentenced to 24 years imprisonment," Judge Neels Claassen said as he read out the sentence.

He was arrested last year for charges relating to two car bombs in the capital of Nigeria on the 1st of October 2010 (Tagged Independence day bombing)that injured 36 people and killed 12 others. The second bombing took place in Warri Delta state also in Nigeria while a post amnesty meeting was being held, that bombing killed one person and injured 11 others on the 15th of March 2010.

Henry Okah maintained his innocence throughout the trail and claimed the case against him is a political witch hunt but the judge clearly was having none of it.
