PHOTONEWS: Henry Okah's Accomplice Gets Life In Jail Over Oct 1st Bombing In Abuja
Edmund Ebiware, an accused accomplice of Henry Okah was today sentenced to life in jail by a Federal High court in Abuja over his involvement in the Oct 1st 2010 Independence Day bomb in Abuja . He was convicted and sentenced by Justice Gabriel Kolawole.
Ebiware was one of the four persons arraigned for Oct 1,2010 bomb attack in Abuja. The judge ruled that Ebiware might be eligible
for parole after serving 32 years of his jail, on the condition that he is of good behavior.
Justice Kolawole cited the section 40(B) of the Criminal Code Act which provides that "any person who becomes an accessory to
treason or becomes aware of the commission of the treason and did not give evidence to the President,a State Governor or a peace officer ,in order to prevent the commission of the crime is liable to treason and sentence to life imprisonment .”
Ebiware who was enraged after his conviction had a violent encounter with the security operatives at the premises of the court as he yelled and kicked saying: "my conviction is political after what I have done for this country is this how they will pay me back".
His relatives briefly hugged him and then wailed as he was driven away to prison.
OC, check out this meat
GEJ claimed that the ND militants are not behind the bombing. He stayed on the parade ground with important dignitaries until the end of the occasion. Now Okah told the world that GEJ planned the attack because he wants to blame northern elite for it. With this conviction what happens to GEJ and his position that the niger delta militants are innocent? Give me some meat to eat OC!

The issues of Mr Edmund Ebiware life imprisonment is unfair,even when the section 40(B) of the Criminal Code Act which provides that "any person who becomes an accessory to
treason or becomes aware of the commission of the treason and does not give evidence to the President,a State Governor or a peace officer ,in order to prevent the commission of the crime is liable to treason and sentenced to life imprisonment .” when we look at the Boko haram member that was captured for bombing the police headquarter,he was not convicted for life imprisonment,that is to say justice was not followed because he was only convicted for 3 years imprisonment But Mr Ebiware was sentenced life imprisonment.

Sentence the theives(govt officials) too
Though d judgment is o.k.Why are d judges selective in deciding on cases before them? How long will it takes a judge to sentence Farouk and Otedola and co? May be the president has no spoken lol.Despite clear proof! D govt is BAD.
I think the man deserve the
I think the man deserve the punishment that was given to him by the law court because on october 1st many souls were lost during the independent celebration,so he deserve such punishment.
Question???????
What does he mean by " after all what i have done for this country, this is how they will pay me back". It would be nice to know exactly what he did for Nigeria???
Nigerians with their funny
Nigerians with their funny acts.Funny how Ebiware was convicted to 32 years in prison and now sentenced to life imprisonment,why wasn't the section 40(B) of the criminal code act viewed before now.Can't blame Ebiware for his reaction.ADEEKO BOLUWATIFE,CALEB UNIVERSITY,IMOTA,LAGOS STATE.
More sympathy goes to the
More sympathy goes to the family of Ebiware.These photos shows clearly exactly what happened.Ebiware reaction to the conviction is not questionable.Why would the judge just realise that what he did was an act of treason?
GOD hear the cry of innocent
may dos tears see justice .
If only they are part of it.....
If only Ebiware is guilty of all this then nobody should sympatise for him.Nobody has the right to take away a fellow man's life.i lost my three cousins in October 1st bombing.two boys and a girl from the same parent.who knows where Ebiware's wife where and what she was doing on that very day we were all crying @ their home in Mpape Abuja.how I wish they were given death penalty as well.pple should learn from all this.is turn by turn nig limited according to Bode George.
i said how many boko haram
i said how many boko haram people has been sentence to life imprisonment?
people should stop
people should stop associating crime with tribe.if u dont want to be involved in any messy judgement try not to be involved in any criminal activities as this guy did.wether u are ibo yoruba or housa,pls stay away from any criminal activities.thousands of Boko haram members are in jail indefinitely accross the country,no date for them to go to court,majority of them will die in jail.the judgr or the president des not hate people from any region,they only hate criminals. JUST DONT BE INVOLVED IN ANY CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES. PERIOD.
lawless nation
U convicted those that were charge wit treason, wht abt those who are responsible for the killing of innocent thousands of people in northern state, i pity my country
warriboy007@yahoo.com
O baby don't cry, pls look for a better man. Your present man on his way to life imprisonment his a Criminal element and a known murderer.
I know GEJ is scared of Northern elements, please keep helping us to get rid of criminal elements in the SS. After complete eradication, we will start reinventing and rebuilding process
Sorry O! my niger delta
Sorry O! my niger delta brothers. This is what you get for supporting evil, one Nigeria. Hausa/fulani and Yorubas used you to achieve their hidden agenda that keeping Nigeria one is a task that must be done. It created expanded market for the Yorubas and more second class citizens for Hausa/fulani. Bro jona being in aso rock does not change a slave to a master. Wait until jona is flushed out in 2015. All of claiming Abuja as home will have a re-think.
@Omoaholo
I am convinced you are a completely frustrated man. What has Matthew Kukah got to do with this? Go and get a life moor, moron. Oritshejafor stooge
jonathan is cursed
The judge is the most eveil minded soul I have seen on earth. Hence the need for us to re-examine our existance in Nigeria. U sentence aman to life in jial for not alerting the police-then give a murderer in boko haram just 3 years in jail. It shows the level of hatred some have against the Ijaw nation-
Edmond Ebiware
Sorry Mrs. ebiware for losing your husband to Nigerian prison. But to tell u gospel truth bad thing no good at all if to say truly truly him follow for dat case him deserve am. Take heart
SHAME ON JONATHAN
shame on Jonathan-the hauasas u are supporting to kill your own ppl will come after u-when u are finished in aso rock-look at the sentence an accomplice spending life in jail? Why should we be surprised? Was it not the same Yoruba judge who gave a murderer from boko haram who escaped from prison only 3 yrs? Compare that to the hanging of Ken by Abacha
Is he not an Ijaw man he must
Is he not an Ijaw man he must surely go to jail in Nigeria--Jonathan should not think the Hausa/fulanis guarding him will not put in in jail should he leave power tomorrow-as a matter of fact he should start learning how to stay alive in jail-from now on-Instead of destroying the Ijaw nation
Madam Leave Loser
Fine woman like you dey cry for a loser. Abeg, make you call me for companion. Make una leave Henry Okah and him gang alone, jo.
SHOWS D LEVEL OF HATRED NIGERIAN HAS FOR THE PPL OF THE
The sentence is a clear indication of the level of hatred Nigerian have for the people of the south south. A member of boko haram involved in the bombing of the police headquarters was sentenced to only 3 yrs in jail-while an accomplice of Okah is jailed 4 life --at leas to spend the rest of his life in priosn under jonathan--shows the type of country we are living in Nigeria--The very Jonathan who could not come to the iad of his own blood brother cannot save u brother me! God is your witness and guide in jail-let us see what will happen to him in 2015
DEATH SENTENCE FOR BOKO HARAM?
If you are going to sentence a guy to life imprisonment for not reporting a crime, what are you going to do with Boko haram killing with impunity in Northern Nigeria? Food for thought. I am yet to see a single Boko haram member convicted with a meaningful sentence. My hardline against terrorists is well-known. Having said that, I do not want to see selective justices. Thats my take on this.
Look at there leaders!
The bad leader is the one who use his followers to destroy the nation.
Jonathan were are the boko haram convicts
Jonathan can you tell us who the boko haram convicts are in Nigeria? No member of Boko haram has been sentenced to life imprisonment since the inception of the crisis in the North. Its really true that Jonathan is in the pocket of the Northern leaders whom he thinks would save him in 2015.
Treason???
But why treason, and not terrorism? Terrorism, YES, but treason? I'm not sure about that.
Unfortunately, in haste to report the News, SR left out the 'meat' of the News, which is, why he was convicted/sentenced. What was the offence? The Oct 1st bombing was an act of terrorism. How come this person was tried and convicted for treason?
Anyway, hopefully it will be the turn of Buhari and IBB, and other coup plotters next. It is treasonable to plot against and overthrow a constitutional and democratically elected Government.
Ebiwere
Eyah!! yes that is how they are gonna pay u Ebiwere, after all the work u have done for CAN, after all the bombs u taught Almajiris in the north how to plant, after all the bombs u help GEJ to plant in the north, for northers to be accused of being BH. I pity u. Na so e de sometimes sha juz take hat u hea! i feel like crying for u and ur brother Okah in S/A.
I Have No Sympathy For These Boko Haram Comrades They're All
I have no sympathy for these Boko Haram comrades, the are all killers. Their loved ones can cry their eyes out; what about those that lost their lives through the evil acts of these beasts? They have the chance to think before taking innocent lives that have nothing to do with GEJ & PDP. If these guys have issues with the Nigerian government they should have merge with the Boko Haram and take it against the government. The Boko Haram is guilty of sapping innocent lives too. Boko Haram & these guys have common purpose...mad at the govt. Bishop Matthew Kukah will be willing to pray for them because he likes to appease the muslims. Christ says if you love your life you will loose it. Bishop Kukah is a compromising Bishop. Sells out to muslims.
