The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) is grateful to God that
the trumped-up charges against Henry Okah has finally been dropped.

Now he will be able to deal with his health, spend time with his family and revive
his business.

We hope that the hundreds of other men and women languishing in detention over the
Niger Delta issue will also be set free.

For those killed extra judicially by the army and police, we pray for their souls.

MEND considers this release as a step towards genuine peace
