No fewer than 100 inmates, including those on death row in various custodial centres in Kano State, have applied for clemency.
The Controller of the Correctional Service in the state, Suleiman Inuwa, made this known when officials of the state Committee on Prerogative of Mercy, led by the Chairperson, Hajiya Azumi Namadi-Bebeji, visited the Maximum Security Custodial Centre, Janguza.
While urging the committee to take note of the appeals, Inuwa applauded the committee’s chairperson for the Ramadan feeding programme at the facility. “We are happy with the positive result in decongesting the custodial centres,” the controller added. Responding, the chairperson of the committee, Namadi-Bebeji, said the government would look into their conditions based on the attestation of good conduct while in custody.
