Henry Okah, the alleged Nigerian terror mastermind, will only know, in a week’s time, whether he will be granted bail or not after his case encountered further problems at the Johannesburg Magistrate Court.
The South Africa Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) reports that Magistrate Hein Louw told the court that he was not yet ready to hand down judgment on Friday, saying that he needed time to finish listening to the court recordings.
Louw said he had had problems accessing the audio transcripts and that he would only be able to do so some time in the following week.
Okah also lost an application to be kept in police custody, pending the outcome of his bail hearing.
He has been accused of being behind Nigeria’s Independence day bombings.
At least, a dozen people were left dead and many others injured.
Nigeria’s state security services have also linked Okah to the bombs attacks that rocked the southern oil city of Warri in March this year.
He is currently facing charges of terrorism.
