Gov. Mutfwang pardons 11 inmates in Plateau
Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has ordered the release of 11 inmates in the various correctional centres in the state.
Mr Mutfwang disclosed this in a New Year State Broadcast on Wednesday in Jos.
The governor said that the gesture was in line with the constitutional powers conferred on him and recommendations of the Plateau State Advisory Council on Prerogative of Mercy.
He said, “In exercise of the powers conferred on me under Section 212 of the 1999 Constitution, as amended and in consultation with the State Advisory Council on Prerogative of Mercy, hereby exercise my power of Prerogative of Mercy on 11 inmates. While one of the inmates was granted absolute pardon, 10 others had their fines paid by the government.’’
The governor said the beneficiaries were remorseful over the crimes committed, hence the recommendation by the Advisory Council on Prerogative of Mercy.
