Our attention has been
drawn to a statement by the South African Department of Correctional Services
of an “attempted jailbreak” by Mr Henry Okah.
The Movement for the
Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) views this petty propaganda as a last
ditch and desperate deed by the South African and Nigerian Governments to
scuttle Henry Okah’s likely victory from the South African Appellate Court
coming up anytime in the month of March, 2014 and an outrageous lie.
No right thinking person
would believe that the ‘Political Prisoner’ who was recently granted a leave to
appeal his conviction and has a pending lawsuit against the South African
Prison Service would connive to escape with common-law prisoners who have
nothing to lose. Henry Okah not only shunned a plea bargain offered by the
Prosecution for his freedom but opted to go ahead with his trial to clear his
name. He is ready to proceed to the South African Constitutional Court to test
the South African Judicial system against an obvious setup.
The Movement for the
Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) continues to back Mr Henry Okah’s
innocence over the attacks he has been blamed for.
