The Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola disclosed this at a world news conference on Thursday in Abuja.

President granted clemency to 39 inmates as recommended by the PACPM out of which 4 inmates are from Kuje Correctional Centre. In addition, the president has also graciously granted pardon to 5 ex-convicts.

My office will take necessary steps to publish the names of these beneficiaries in the Federal Gazette in line with extant laws and Regulations.

Malami further explained that the steps were part of the urgent measures taken by the federal government towards the speedy decongestion of correctional/custodial centres in the country in view of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The AGF described the measures as President Buhari’s demonstration of commitment to sincerely decongest the country’s overcrowded correctional centres.

He explained that the process of coming up with the list of beneficiaries commenced in 2018, with the inauguration of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Prerogative of Mercy, PACPM, on August 28, 2018.

Strictly hinged on Section 175 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended).

Malami said:

In carrying out the assignment, the committee adopted the use of interviews, observations, consultation and relevant documents called for and received from each of the correctional centres across the country.

He explained that the committee visited a number of correctional centres in the six geo-political zones of the country to interact and identify those eligible for the presidential pardon and clemency.
