A statement by the governor’s spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, on Wednesday, said the gesture was made in line with the powers conferred on the governor under Section 212 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended), following the recommendations of the State Advisory Council on Prerogative of Mercy.

He noted that many of the beneficiaries of the Independence Day amnesty included men and women convicted mostly of minor offences such as stealing and conspiracy, many of whom had served substantial portions of their sentences.
