Tinubu Withdraws Maryam Sanda’s Pardon, Convict To Spend Six Years In Jail by Newsgeek24(op): 4:31pm On Oct 29, 2025
After backlash for granting a presidential pardon to Maryam Sanda, sentenced to death in 2020 for the killing of her husband, Bilyaminu Bello, President Bola Tinubu has revoked the pardon and reversed her sentence to 12 years, Very Nigerian reports.

This was revealed in an official gazette released by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Wednesday.

Very Nigerian reports that, Sanda, who had already spent six years and eight months at the Suleja Medium Security Custodial Centre, got the new approved term on compassionate grounds.

What compassionate grounds?
This lady should spend the rest of her miserable life behind bars, or be sentenced to capital punishment.

My very first FTC in 9 years of being on Nairaland.
Seun do the needful ASAP.

This is a National embarrassment! He should have made due consultations before granting the pardon.

Still not different from pardon. 12 years for killing a human being. In Nigeria, the life of a human being is worth 12 years?

I still believe the president shouldn’t have gotten himself involved with this issue. Any how he does it, he has already goofed. What about the victims family? Do they also get reduced time to see their don based on compassionate grounds.

Port8080:

You are correct

Normally that job is delegated to a deputy

In this case the deputy is the Attorney General AGF
Ultimately responsibility is with the president but this us enough to sack the AGF

What is so special about the woman that sh must be. Released..?

If u killed someone face the law... Which one is 6years...

I hate this administration with passion

They timed it to co-incide with time for tinubu to leave office... Meaning it's a mission to free her

Sincerely, I pity the dead husband and his family. If not for the show of Nigerians, this man would have died for nothing, no thanks to our good for nothing leaders

Same way he announced the removal of fuel subsidy on impulse.

But in this case there was still room for retrieval but not without looking incompetent.
