Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has granted amnesty to 36 convicts serving sentences at the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) facilities in Ilesa and Ile-Ife, respectively, in commemoration of Nigeria’s 65th Independence anniversary.

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.
