Otu

45 prison inmates with minor offences in Cross River State, have been granted unconditional pardon by state governor, Bassey Edet Otu, in exercise of his prerogative of mercy, pursuant to Section 212 (1) (a) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (Amended).

The approval for this pardon was contained in the approval given to the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Ededem Ani.

The pardoned inmates were convicted of various offenses ranging from felony, stealing, breaking and entering, assault, threats to life, cultism, armed robbery, illegal entry, logging and unlawful possession, conspiracy, assault and threatening violence, and malicious damage, among a few others.

Otu explained that it’s important to give a second chance to those pardoned and considered reformed, as well as the need to decongest the prison.
