Full List Of 175 Convicts Pardoned By Tinubu by DiamondsAreFore(op): 7:32am On Oct 12, 2025
STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE

Details of The Presidential Pardon and Clemency


Illegal miners, white-collar convicts, remorseful drug offenders, foreigners, Major General Mamman Vatsa, Major Akubo, Professor Magaji Garba, capital offenders such as Maryam Sanda, Ken Saro Wiwa, and the other Ogoni Eight were among the 175 convicts and former convicts who received President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s mercy on Thursday.

President Tinubu granted clemency to most of them based on the reports that the convicts had shown remorse and good conduct. He forgave some due to old age, the acquisition of new vocational skills, or enrolment in the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN). President Tinubu also corrected the historic injustice committed by British colonialists against Sir Herbert Macaulay, one of Nigeria's foremost nationalists.

In all, the Presidential Advisory Committee on the Prerogative of Mercy, chaired by the Attorney-General and Justice Minister, Prince Lateef Olasunkanmi Fagbemi, recommended pardon for two inmates, 15 former convicts, 11 of whom have died. The committee recommended clemency for 82 inmates and commutation of sentences for 65 inmates. Seven inmates on death row also benefited from the Presidential reprieve. The committee recommended that the President should commute their death sentences to life imprisonment.

Prince Fagbemi presented the committee's report at the Council of State meeting, chaired by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

It seems we are forgetting a very important part of this whole process. The President did not singlehandedly approve the pardon. A Presidential committee was inaugurated from across the spectrum and they came up with recommendations which were submitted to the council of state for approval.
Unfortunately, some people read only to comment and get likes but not to understand for future reference. This goes to show the level of our educational systems, producing graduates who are quick to talk but slow to understanding.

-Kiss the truth!

The decision followed the recommendations of the presidential advisory committee on the prerogative of mercy (PACPM), chaired by Lateef Fagbemi, attorney-general of the federation and minister of justice.

Other members of the committee include Akinlolu Olujinmi, Alkasum Abba, Nike Sidikat Ijaiya, Augustine Utsaha, and Onwusoro Maduka, the secretary.

Institutional representatives on the committee include officials from the ministry of special duties and inter-governmental affairs, the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), the Nigerian Correctional Service, the National Human Rights Commission, the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN)
.

The report, presented to the council of state in Abuja, showed that 175 inmates were interviewed and 294 applications reviewed.

According to the report, “Eighty-two inmates were recommended for clemency, two for pardon, sixty-five for reduction of prison terms, and seven on death row for commutation to life imprisonment.”

It added that 15 ex-convicts were recommended for presidential pardon, including the late Ogoni Nine, while four others were proposed for posthumous national honours.


The committee adopted criteria such as old age, terminal illness, long-term imprisonment, good conduct, and rehabilitation in its recommendations.

I sure say many lobbied to get on the list no be Nigeria?

I know a guy that knows a guy, but you will need to find him xyz amount of naira

Meanwhile the real people this thing supposed to favour will totally miss out: those political prisoners, protestors jailed for protesting, military men jailed for exposing things that were immoral in the military and suffered imprisonment as their reward and whistle blowers in general, people jailed because of “do you know who I am”, people jailed without reason, people jailed for petty offense but forgotten in jail because their file is missing or no family member to bail them or they are now mental. Non violent offenders with long sentences, wrongfully convicted individuals, people convicted for outdated or unjust laws.

But na highest bidders full the list

When the righteous are in power you will know by their actions.

When a terrible criminal is in power you will also know by his actions.

This is just 2 years and things are like this, think about what is going to happen in the coming years.


A WORD IS ENOUGH.........

Why must granting this pardon to his business associate be of high level interest to him at this challenging economic situation Nigeria is?

Most of you can be paid to put a gun on your head and fire.
