‘’At its last meeting which held on the 8th June, 2022, the Kaduna State Advisory Council on Prerogative of Mercy, which was chaired by the Attorney General, recommended only two names for pardon, out of the total list of 13 inmates that were presented,’’ the statement added.

According to the commissioner, members of the council comprised the Solicitor General and Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, the Chief Registrar of Kaduna State Judiciary and Acting Director of Public Prosecution of the Justice Ministry.

The statement further said that representatives of the state Director of Department of State Services, Kaduna State Command of Correctional Service and the Police Commissioner, were also at the last meeting.

The commissioner of Justice further stated that a convict can only enjoy clemency or state pardon once, according to the guidelines of the Advisory Council on Prerogative of Mercy.

The Attorney General who chaired the meeting where the decisions were taken, said that the council’s recommendations will be forwarded to Governor Nasir El-Rufai for a final decision to be taken, before the names of those who have been pardoned, will be made public.
