Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has pardoned 46 inmates serving prison terms in various Correctional Institutions across the state.
This is in exercise of the powers conferred on him by section 212(i)(b) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The 46 pardoned inmates are serving their terms in Jada, Ganye, Numan, Jimeta, Yola, Mubi and Kojoli Correctional facilities.
Governor Fintiri’s decision is part of efforts to decongest some of the overburdened Correctional Centres in the wake of the Novel Coronavirus Pandemic.
