Governor Muhammad Badaru of Jigawa has pardoned 17 inmates of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS) in the state.

Hajiya Zainab Baba-Santali, the Public Relations Officer, Ministry of Justice, disclosed this in a statement issued in Dutse on Wednesday, NAN reports.

Baba-Santali said the gesture was to decongest the correctional facilities in the state, especially during this period of Ramadan fasting and the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The Jigawa State Governor, Alhaji Muhammadu Badaru Abubakar, has granted pardon to 17 convicted persons based on the recommendation of the State Committee on the Prerogative of Mercy under the leadership of Dr Aisha Warshu Haruna.

“The inmates have been released from correctional facilities. The pardon is part of the routine policy by the governor to provide succour to inmates who are remorseful.

“The categories of the inmates vary from those who have committed minor crimes and three young persons that the Jigawa State High Court detained for a long time at the pleasure of the Governor for the offence of Homicide,” the statement said.

Reacting, the Jigawa Attorney-General (AG), Dr Musa Adamu Aliyu, said the gesture showed that the governor is compassionate to remorseful inmates.

The AG added that the Committee on Prerogative of Mercy had done well through meticulous scrutiny of inmates who deserved pardon before forwarding the final list to the governor.

The Attorney General further appealed to the people of the state to be law-abiding, stay out of crimes, report any suspicious activities to the security agencies and pray for peace and prosperity of the state and Nigeria at large.

Headslammers are still finding moon that didn't loss o


This is what happens when you build your religion on moon worship and recite Arabic letters like a bot as "prayers"

Mccullum:



You must be one of the extremist in this forum, who failed to respect other people faith. Yes, we worship Allah by placing our heads on the floor which was the same way Jesus, Abraham, Moses,
and others worshipped God in the Bible.

We're worshipping God in Arabic which is one language Muslims used all over the world and that also stated in the scriptures of Bible that at a point on earth only one language will be using to worship God.

Christians mode of worshipping God by singing, clapping and dancing. Can you show me any where in Bible Jesus asked his followers to worship God with that mode?

May Allah forgive you and guide you to the right path.

Abdul, bowing is an act of worship, don't justify yourself when Jesus bowed in prayer to His father

The question is who are you bowing down to worship?

Luke 22:41 And He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and began to pray

Luke 22:42 saying, “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done.”

Hope you can see Jesus wasn't bowing to Baal in Mecca like muslims, but was having a conversation with his father


You bow to the Kaaba of Baal in Mecca, the Kaaba where Mohamed placed all the idols of qurash to become allah

Btw 2 Samuel 6:14

And David danced before the LORD with all his might, wearing a priestly garment.

2 Samuel 6:21

Christian Standard Bible

David replied to Michal, “It was before the LORD who chose me over your father and his whole family to appoint me ruler over the LORD’s people Israel. I will dance before the LORD,
