The governor of Ondo state, Rotimi Akeredolu, has pardoned seven inmates serving various prison terms to mark the new year celebration.

Charles Titiloye, the Attorney General and Justice Commissioner said in a statement in Akure, the state capital, that the governor also, reduced the sentence of eleven other inmates.

Titiloye said that, ” The governor in the exercise of the power conferred on him by paragraphs (a) (c) and (d) of subsection (1) of Section 212 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as Amended) directed the Controller of Nigerian Correctional Service in Ondo to release and set free, the said seven inmates in the facilities of the Correctional Center in Ondo state.

”Seven of the inmates sentenced to death by hanging have their conviction reduced to life imprisonment while the years of imprisonment of the remaining four inmates were reduced.“

Akeredolu, therefore, called on the good citizen of Ondo state to avoid any act of discrimination against the released inmate and integrate them back to their communities.
