N’Delta group demands release of Henry Okah, others

The Convener of the Niger Delta People’s Congress, Chief Mike Loyibo, has called for the release of Henry Okah and several others incarcerated in connection with October 1, 2010 Abuja bombings.

Henry Okah is already serving a 24-year jail term in South Africa for allegedly masterminding a series of terror attacks, including the twin bombings which killed 12 people in Abuja during Independence Day celebrations in 2010.
His younger brother, Charles Okah, is being held in Kuje Prison over the same crime.

Loyibo, who made the call in an interview with Punch correspondent in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, on Thursday, urged the Federal Government to consider political solution to resolve, once and for all, their incarceration in the interest of sustainable peace and justice.
