Nigeria@66: Uba Sani Grants Clemency To 27 Inmates
原文原文 / Original TextGovernor Uba Sani has granted clemency to 27 inmates in correctional facilities across Kaduna state, to mark Nigeria’s 66th Independence anniversary, in an effort to give deserving innates opportunity to rebuild their lives.
A statement issued by the Commissioner for Information and Culture, Malam Ahmed Maiyaki on Friday, stated that the latest clemency brings the number of beneficiaries to more than 500, since the Governor assumed office.
The Commissioner added the intervention included the release of eligible inmates as well as the payment of fines and compensation of over N300 million for victims since 2023.
The statement quoted state Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Sir James Kanyip, as saying that the latest exercise is part of the Governor’s practice of extending mercy to deserving inmates on national occasions.
According to the Chief Law Officer of Kaduna State, previous exercises were carried out on New Year day, during Democracy Day and Independence Day celebrations.
He said the prerogative of mercy was exercised through established processes, taking into consideration accountability, rehabilitation and the responsibilities that come with freedom.
Kanyip said the beneficiaries were expected to return to society with a renewed sense of responsibility and appreciation of their obligations to others.
The statement said the payment of fines and compensation is also intended to give the clemency a restorative justice dimension by addressing barriers to the release of deserving inmates while recognising the interests of victims.
