Nigerian Henry Okah was jailed for
24 years by the South Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg on Tuesday.
The charges related to two car bombs
in Abuja, Nigeria, in which 12 people were killed and 36 injured on 1 October
2010, the anniversary of the country's independence.
The second bombing took place in
Warri on 15 March 2010 at a post amnesty dialogue meeting. One person was
killed and 11 seriously injured.
Claassen sentenced Okah to 12 years
imprisonment for each of the bombings and 13 years for the threats made to the
South African government after his arrest in October 2010.
The 13 years would run concurrently
with the 24 years.
