Ogun State Release 20 Prisoners; 3 Commuted To Life. by teekay247(m): 6:13pm On Dec 31, 2012
OGUN State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, has ordered the release of 20 prisoners serving various terms. Three others on death roll also have their sentence, commuted to life imprisonment.

The action was in exercise of the governor's powers of Prerogative of Mercy under Section 212 subsection (1) of the 1999 constitution and based on the recommendations of the Advisory Council on the Prerogative of Mercy.

The 20 prisoners are:

Opeoluwa Bankole,
Kehinde Onifade,
Saliu Raji,
Gabriel Michael Paul,
Lateef Opeoluwa,
Abubakar Muhammed,
Popoola Yekini,
Waheed Ogunwale,
Lukman Osikoya
Afolabi Odunaike.
Sunday Nnao,
Sylvester Oboki,
Monday Nbom,
Nurudeen Adeleke,
Abubakar Abah,
Sunday Isaac,
Kehinde Rafiu,
Sunkanmi Badejo,
Abiodun Adetayo and
Idris Adewuyi.

The three others whose death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment are:

Sunday Olatunji, convicted for murder,
Segun Ogunsanya (Alawaye) and Michael Ebedinwe, both of whom were convicted for armed robbery.

Wishing them the word of the holy Bible which says "go ye and sin no more"

Is this good news or bad?
How are the citizens supposed to feel about 20 criminals who have had years to fine tune their trade released to the streets
Unless if these folks committed petty non violent crime or are innocent people convicted wrongly,I say send them back and start counting grains of corn from a corn cob before they are released

I seriously hope they won't go back to crime. Congratulations to them
