Was he released? The report says instead of spending 20 years, it's going to be 13 years because he has shown remorse!

I see remarks about ignorance everywhere.

Pardons are given to criminals or offenders who have been imprisoned and have a jail sentence attached. What do you expect when you see the government pardoning these individuals? Can a government official be pardoning a law-abiding citizen? No, pardons are granted to criminals who may have been found guilty of a particular offense.

Na you need education. So you believe that you know the prisoners granted pardon more than the President?

Because the person that approved the list cannot read abi. Abeg face front if you no know wetin to talk.
I understand his position. The committee could have watered it down to get approval.

Did the other members of the council not ask for full details before asserting to this?

Chaiiiiiii and he was celebrated in his state. I don't understand. This shows that anyone can be released. Just imagine how scared and traumatised the witnesses that testified against him would be right now. The security men who tried fighting him and died in the process died for nothing. This is why such criminals and terrorists should be shot dead and not arrested. Even the arrested criminals that killed the arise lawyer would be released and pardoned by another administration. Whatever you do, don't allow anybody to kill cos the state might pardon them and if they repent, God will forgive them.
Na so oo my brother, na allow person kill u ooo

My brother, the decision to grant pardon to these people cannot be excused under any guise. The bucks stop at President Tinubu's table.

Yes, there was a committee that recommended candidates for pardon but I believe the President scrutinized the list and agreed with their recommendations before giving approval.

The list is disgraceful to say the least!
Re: Kelvin Oniarah: The Notorious Kidnap Kingpin Pardoned By President Tinubu by oche2020: 5:35pm On Oct 12, 2025
My brother like why in a hurry, haba, the reckless use of power is crazy, someone found guilty for a very bad crime as Kidnapping, an epidemic being faced by this country at this time, what is the message to other kidnapper's that they should go ahead and if cut, they will get pardon. This is just bullshit can this country ever get better God? Who did we offend?

I can only imagine what would be going on in the mind of Mike Ozekhome and all other victims. This man still has a whole lot of 7 years to serve his term, why in a hurry to pardon him. He was also sentenced 2 years ago.

Why are you assuming this?? You think Tinubu is a dunce?? That man is intelligent and presidential pardon isn't something you can gloss over. There's nobody that was released that Tinubu didn't fully and consciously approve. The whole Southern Nigeria know the activities of this Kelvin and even when he kidnapped Mike Ozekhome. Tinubu is not Buhari oo.

His family will be forever grateful to His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) for giving him a second chance.

God bless His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)

At this point there's no need holding Nnamdi Kanu, Evans and Boko Haram terrorists in custody anymore.
This is what you get with immoral leaders in power.
Ya'Allah let these people and their offsprings suffer.

You be proper Oolodo. Whether a committee or twenty committee prepared this, the president must approve it before it flies. That's why it's called a presidential pardon.
Stop disgracing your lineage

You are wise for thinking a president like Tinubu would ignorantly approve presidential pardon. Except you were specially paid to spread this nonsense excuse which has been used all over social media, then you are highly educated.
Re: Kelvin Oniarah: The Notorious Kidnap Kingpin Pardoned By President Tinubu by Mrexcell(m): 5:40pm On Oct 12, 2025
All these state pardons has really exposed tinibu true personality to the world maybe he wants to use all these convicted criminals and murderers for his 2027 presidential campaign. At this point he has absolutely no justification of still holding nmk.

Your problem is that you not abreast with the constitution and how presidential pardon works. Why you call it reckless use of power.

I don’t know how it became a problem in 2025, where it is expected that all is enlightened, and a presidential pardon still became the problem of many.

Did the president violate any legal or constitutional grounds? No!

So what exactly is your problem?

You are saying Tinumbu granted pardon to people he didn't know anything about? Does that seem like the proper thing to do?
Better go and ask for refund of all the money you wasted getting your "proper" education.
Re: Kelvin Oniarah: The Notorious Kidnap Kingpin Pardoned By President Tinubu by Chucks13: 5:41pm On Oct 12, 2025
Those who recommended this list for Tinubu must go to jail ASAP and that useless board who recommended this shameful list must be dissolve and scrap forever.

And the funniest thing is the committe heads are from SE according to our record pls is this just a deliberate attempt to ridiculed the president by the head of that useless committee or what?

Something is wrong here very very wrong somebody is a criminal among the committee head, a real sneaky criminal pretending to be on the president side.

Tinubu you are a learned person henceforth stop approving nonsense, if you are too busy as per the comexity of Nigeria and if Gbaja and Onanuga are moles tell your wife to go through some of this things and both of you scrutinise it before approval, betrayers are everywhere sir.

This is a serious insider manipulation to embarrassed the president deliberately I swear if I'm Tinubu I will order the arrest of all the committee members and lock them up and I will order the arrest of th person that brought this rubbish to my table for approval and I will personal apologize to the public.

What about ex-presidents and former CJNs who were council members? Did you read anywhere anyone raised an objection?

The buck ends on BAT table but the committee must take the full blame for this.
