The Commissioner of Justice and Attorney General of Kaduna state, Hajiya Aisha Dikko, has advised the State Advisory Council on Prerogative of Mercy to be diligent in its assignment and to evaluate each request thoroughly before making recommendations.

The commissioner who is also the Chair of the council, gave this advice at the end of the meeting of the of the council which held at the Sardauna Hall of the Ministry of Justice last Tuesday.

The chair also asked members to consider the victims and the enormity of the crimes that were committed by the convicts and not just the latter’s fulfilment of the conditions for the granting of mercy.

The Attorney General said that given the calibre of the members of the council, who are professionals from diverse backgrounds, she is optimistic that the State Advisory Council on Prerogative of Mercy will carry out its assignment with the required dedication.

Section 4.1 under the Advisory Council on Prerogative of Mercy Working Guidelines stipulates the five approved sources of application for consideration, which include the Nigerian Correctional Service, the courts, government and Non Government Access to Justice Institutions, eminent private or public personalities, individual convicts or ex-convicts.
