Henry Okah being taken to the court
Terror suspect, Henry Okah, who is facing trial in South Africa for allegedly masterminding the Independence Day bomb blasts is to remain in security custody after he was denied bail yesterday by a magistrate court.
Besides, he is to be put on trial next year for alleged terrorism.
Magistrate Hein Louw said the decision was based on his finding that Okah is the leader of the militant Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) that claimed responsibility for the October 1 attacks in Abuja.
Okah has denied being the leader of MEND and said he had no involvement in the twin car bombings, but Louw said prosecutors had argued convincingly that the 45-year-old marine engineer is MEND’s leader.
