Governor of Kano state, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje OFR, on Friday, as part of activities marking Eid el Kabir celebrations, visited Kano Central Prison and Goron Dutse Prison to release 200 and 150 from the 2 prisons respectfully. It will be recalled that Ganduje during the Eid El Fitr celebrations 2
months ago directed that 500 prisoners be carefully selected for immediate release. This is the 1st time in Nigeria, a governor is pardoning these much number up to 500, at the same time, which cuts across all categories of prisoners in the state.
While few of those condemned to death and who are serving life imprisonment had their sentences reviewed downwards. In his remarks, Governor Ganduje said this gesture is to enable the released inmates to start a new life. He also hoped that they will be law abiding and engage themselves in conducts that will be productive to them and their families. Guys, what do you think?
