According to him, some of the pardoned inmates had spent 25 years awaiting execution.

In his speech, the chairman of the prerogative of mercy, Abdullahi Garba Rano, thanked Ganduje for using the power conferred on him by the constitution to release the inmates with good behaviour on the recommendation of the advisory council of prerogative of mercy.

The governor also gave N5,000 transport fare to each of the freed inmates to enable them reunite with their families.
