"Go And Sin No More" Nasarawa State Government Pardons 3 Inmates
The Nasarawa State Government on Thursday granted pardon to three prisoners serving various jail terms in the state.
Notice of the pardon is contained in a
statement issued by the state Attorney General and Commissioner for
Justice, Innocent Lagi, in Lafia.
The statement quoted the attorney general as
saying the inmates were freed from the Lafia, Nasarawa and Wamba prisons
respectively.
Lagi noted that the government pardon was in
accordance with Section 212 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria as amended.
He said the pardoned inmates are: Yanda Oka,
released from Lafia Prison, while Abdullahi Abubakar and Kande Ademola
released from Nasarawa Prison and Wamba Prison respectively.
The commissioner for justice added that the
decision was part of Gov. Umaru Al-Makura’s determination to decongest
prisons in the state.
He advised the three to desist from committing
any crime that would make them come back to the prison, saying they
should exhibit good characters that would make the society accept them
back. (NAN)
