Clemency: Onoh Prays Tinubu to Reverse Pardon
Josef Onoh, President Bola Tinubu's spokesman in the South East, has criticized the pardon granted to some convicts by the President.
The pardon was granted through the recommendations of the Presidential Advisory Committee on the Prerogative of Mercy, with 175 individuals receiving presidential pardon and clemency.
- Drug convicts
- Foreigners
- Capital offenders, including Maryam Sanda
Maryam Sanda was convicted in 2020 of culpable homicide punishable by death for stabbing her husband, Bilyaminu Bello, to death amid a domestic dispute.
Onoh has prayed for the reversal of the pardon, particularly for Maryam Sanda and drug convicts.
