Exiled MEND leader Henry Okah was picked up today by the South African police.

Mr. Okah was arrested and detained in Johannesburg. He is due in court on Monday.

A source told Saharareporters that Mr. Okah might face terrorism charges in South Africa if investigations carried out by the police link him to the October 1st car bombing of the Nigerian independence day parade in Abuja that has so far killed 25 people.

Its really sucks

What pains me most is that Nigerians know what is happening but they keep quiet cos of what to fill their Big far stomach and no limit pockets.....................GEJ said MEND is not a terrorist group and Okah knows nothing and now MEND said "we are sorry we did it but dont mean to claims peoples life"Nigerians what is happening?was it that IBB pay MEND to say yes to what he didn't do or GEJ what to gamble with nigerians life?Even if GEJ win the coming Election IBB will continue his bombing in every part of the country to frustrate him and to make him leave the Office so is better non among them should go cos my life is important....Those who were killed and injured were not at Eagle Square watching,they were just doing their normal surviving activities. So whatelse?Nigerians Whatelse?? hay what AGAIN.....................na like this we go de dey?

BOMBING NOT TERRORISM!

I'm surprised at the mention of terrorism in the heinous act..prior to the bomb blast there has been several warning from MEND and websites warning and telling people where the bombs would be placed and so it happened at the exact time they said. i feel so disappointed at people when they try to shift the blame away from MEND and look for other sources to blame.. let us face our problem and should not attract any unnecessary black listing from the international community, placing Nigerian again as a nation of terrorists.

YOU ARE A DOG, A GOAT, A

YOU ARE A DOG, A GOAT, A DONKEY AND ANIMAL.

@ Wada Nas--ARE U STILL ALIVE?

Wada Nas, I thought you are dead!

More yet to come

That was Part 1, I-dependence B-ome B-last , Wait for Par 2 Election Bome Blast. Watch out for IBB.

MEND

MEND is not fighting anybody but itself, it is just another waste of space being funded by stolen oil and their political paymasters. They are just a bunch of hired thugs with very little aim but to get rich quickly, murder, robbery and maim innocent civilians. They should be treated as an enemy of the State.

BASTARD DAMBAZZAU, U AND YOUR LIKE ARE BEHIND THE BOMBING

THIS FOOLISH GUY dambazzau IS MAD. HE THINKS NIGERIA BELONGS TO HIM....

IF YOU LIKE JOIN IBB TO DESTROY IT BUT I ASSURE YOU, THE REAL FREEDOM FIGHTERS WILL RESIST YOU AND IBB WHEN IT COME TO NIGER DELTA.

I LAUGHED MY ASS OFF

I LAUGHED MY ASS OFF SO HARD, WHEN I HEARD IBB WAS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO EAGLE SQUARE.... THAT MAN IBB WILL DIE A SHAMEFUL DEATH THIS YEAR.

THAT EVIL GENIUS WAS FAR FROM EAGLE SAQURE, ISN'T THAT ENOUGH CLUE FOR YOU FUCKS WITH NO BRAIN?? MEND IS JUST TAKING GLORY FOR SHIT THEY DIDN'T DO.

VOTE OUT CLUELESS GEJ... HE HAS NO PLANS OR AGENDA FOR US.

IBB CONTROLS ALL THE SECURITY APPARATUS IN NIGERIA... UNCLE GEJ IS JUST A DUMMY, PRETENDING TO KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING.

=====================

VOTE RIBADU AND LETS INJECT FRESH BLOOD INTO HELMS OF AFFAIRS OF THIS GREAT COUNTRY.... MALLAM NUHU WILL DO A BETTER JOB.

The revolution should start with father?

You are the worst of all fools. just here yourself. do you want to swear that you have never stolen or slept with any man daughter before? to loot, or steal from your neighbour or bear false witness or kill, and tell lies. if you fall in one of this category then sit down and use your dull to know that MEND is not helping situation in the niger delta and should be flushed out. If your father had done revolution in your house you would not write and talk about nonsence. your father will be the first person to be killed if any revolution be occur. FOOOOOOOL.

MEND - WHY INNOCENT PEOPLE

Why that bomb killed Innocent people, why not the President, Why not the Vice President, Why not the Governors, Why not The Senators, Why not The House of Representative members, Why not the House of Assembly Members, Why not the Local Government Chairmen, Why not Inspector General of Police, Why not Chief of Defense Staff, etc

Please MEND bomb Aso Rock, Bomb Nigeria Parliamentary house with all the Senators and House of Representative Members Inside, Bomb Governors' Houses etc.

Please MEND stop attacking Innocent people, Stop being a coward

I think other people planted the BOMB and MEND takes GLORY

Yes, I think some people planted that shit called bomb and MEND took glory that they were the one. Dig deep and you will find out that MEND may not even be invoved. Allthesame, our goverment is so porous that such a thing could happen. The president isn't concern about security but rather elections. There is a BIG fear within and if this isn't sorted out on time, NIGERIA may spin out of control.

RE-DEATH PENALTY

THIS WRITER MOST BE A FOOL TO SAY HENRY OKAH SHOULD FACE DEATH PENALTY,LET ME ASK YOU WHAT SHOULD IBB FACE?WHO MURDER THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DURING HIS 8 YEARS RULE.YOU SHOULD GO BACK TO HISTORY,DELE GIWA,MKO,SARO WIWA AND THE 8 OGONIS ETC WERE KILL BY IBB AND SANI.

Whatever

Whatever

Politically Motivated Attack

Lest we misjudge; is there any reason why MEND should plan such an attack and what massage would they be conveying? Looking at the style of the attack and its timing we can intellingently determine the motives of the attackers. NigerDelta struggle has nothing to do with it though it is possible that some people within the struggle could be used to perpetrate the act but solely for their on personal and economic interest, that makes Okah a suspect in a personal capacity. THIS ATTACK IS PURELY POLITICAL. Investigation should focus more on this premise.

South Africa is civilized

How do you expect the government of SA to hold someone without any reasonable reason, do you think they are like the government of Nigeria that detains people without reason

Save for the Innocent Souls, MEND is our Hero

Without mincing words, MEND is our independence anniversary hero. Just that innocent victims were killed. May their souls rest in peace.

However, the real killers are the corrupt leaders we have; killing us in hundreds daily through accidents on our deplorable roads, generator's fumes (no light), child mortality and common diseases (no health care facilities), hunger, unemployment...90% of our graduates have no job, yet some idiots are looting billions daily.

Once again, congratulations MEND...next time target their homes.

Kid Glooves

MEND has evolved into a terrorist organisation and as such the Federal Government should take the stance- No negotiations with terrorist.
These MEND gang has wasted innocent lives because they have been misled by their paymasters,
Government should be resolute in dealing with the scum MEND.
They are misguided and mis-informed rag-tag army.

I am really surprise that you

I am really surprise that you can justify this barbaric act. you call people names as if there is no brain in your head. If blood must be shed for your so call freedom, must it be the blood of the innocent man walking the street? you must be a goat to reason like this. you mentioned corruption and bad governance, are those responsible for these victims of the bomb blast? how did the killing improve the lives of the common man?
I know you are a killer but you and ur types will die soon.

romario You are evil minded,

romario
You are evil minded, you cannot see beyond your nose. Are you saying IBB is controlling the nations Police, Military, the SSS and every body. Your insinuation that it was IBB that sponsored this attack is only telling us that GEJ cannot be trusted with our lives any longer. He got the information 7 days to the attack but failed to take action untill it happened, which kind of slacker is this guy, so if its an external attack he would have ignored the vital reports until he is dethrone. For what ever reason weather its IBB or who ever GEJ is to be blamed period. He should be careful because his blank accusation without proper investigation just to score a goal on his immoral political agender may plung this nation into unnecessary chaos.

DEATH PENALTY

if this man is found guilty,he should face the death penalty.No negotiation
This isnt about agitating for Niger Delta,it is premeditated murder.
We have a NigerDelta President ruling us what more do you want?

Buy a Pair of Hearing aid/ medicated glasses

The fact that your name "Nemesis" impaired your sense of reasoning is very obvious. Maybe you need a soothsayer before you understand the fact that mend claimed they are responsible for the senseless and barbaric attack. I have no doubt you're the fool you seek in other people's comments! or there is no light in your house when the news was on NTA and BBC that mend is responsible. Which-ever applicable to you, you are a coward like MEND and stop twisting the story.....
