He added that three persons awaiting execution were also granted pardon by the Governor.

Akeredolu advised the lucky ones to shun acts that could return them to the prison.

The statement read, “Ondo state governor, Mr. Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, in exercise of the power conferred on him by Section 212(1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is pleased to extend his grace and mercy to 12 prisoners who have served various terms of their imprisonment and orders their release from the prison custody.

“He asks the beneficiaries of the gesture to always shun acts that can likely return them to the prison.

“Likewise, Akeredolu extends his grace and mercy to three condemned/convicted prisoners who are awaiting execution.

“The governor’s gesture commutes the death sentence of the condemned three prisoners to life imprisonment.

“Akeredolu exercises the power in the spirit of the 2019 New Year celebration.”
