AGF Fagbemi: No Inmates Freed Yet Under Prerogative of Mercy Review

The Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, has stated that despite the approval of clemency for 175 convicts, including prominent names like Maryam Sanda and Ken Saro Wiwa, no inmates have been released yet under the ongoing review of the Prerogative of Mercy by President Bola Tinubu. Fagbemi emphasized that the approval does not immediately translate to inmate releases, as a thorough administrative review is still pending to ensure beneficiaries meet legal requirements.

The process aims to correct historical injustices and uphold principles of justice and fairness.
