The Nigerian Correctional Service has refuted speculations that a death row inmate, Maryam Sanda, was granted presidential pardon last Thursday, alongside 70 other inmates of the Medium Security Custodial Centre, Kuje.

The NCoS said Sanda did not meet the requirements for the pardon, noting that she was still in custody and “will remain as such.”


Sanda was convicted and sentenced to death by a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, in January, for killing her husband, Bilyaminu Bello.

Justice Yusuf Halilu said every available evidence had proved that Sanda fatally stabbed her husband to death in Abuja on November 19, 2017.

The NCoS spokesman, Deputy Controller of Corrections, Chuks Njoku, in a statement in Abuja on Thursday, said the condemned inmate did not fit into any of the categories of inmates who qualified for pardon as listed by the Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola.


The statement explained that the categories for the amnesty include, convicts who are 60 years and above; those serving three years and above with less than six months to serve; inmates with ill-health likely to terminate in death; inmates with mental ill-health and inmates with an option of fine not exceeding N50,000 with no pending case.

Others are convicted pregnant women and women with child, convicted inmates with minor offences and those who had spent 75 per cent of their sentence after remission.


Njoku stated, “It obvious that Maryam Sanda did not meet any of the above-mentioned requirements and therefore, did not benefit from the presidential pardon. We further want to assure the public that Maryam Sanda is in our custody and will remain as such.

“The Controller General of Corrections, Ja’afaru Ahmed, advises the public to discountenance the rumour that Sanda benefited from the presidential pardon.”

Who is she? Trust me oga will not pardon her for killing his beloved son

How can she be granted pardon when she killed the son of a nothern political bigwig?
Her story should serve as a lesson to all those para-mental women that will do before thinking...

You're not the first to cheated on neither will you be the last. So, bridle your anger!

What's tha business?

Let's give pardon to whom pardon is due

A woman that was married as a second wife and the first wife was cheated upon with her, expecting her husband not to cheat upon her with another woman. Maryam sanda is a joker. Besides a Muslim man is entitled to at least four wives at a time.

Okay

If you do the crime, get ready to do the time.

Chikena!!

How is this news?

Believe everything from government at your own peril!
To others out there! Is good to enroll in anger management!

Of course, she mustn't.


If you can't control your anger, it'll definitely put your life in danger because anger is just one word short of danger.

Maybe they're saying the truth because the man she killed was from a rich political family.

The pardon was never for crime that requires capital punishment...
Was she expecting to hear them tell her to go n sin no more wen she was busy dishing out multiple stabs to her husband.

Doctor2020:
It's unfair.

And how's any of this unfair?? You expecting a murderer to enjoy the Presidential pardon and just waltz away scot-free like none of it ever happened cos she's a woman or what??

Take care of your life.
If you die, your own don finish.

Doctor2020:
It's unfair.

As in she should have bn granted pardon after murdering her husband or what? I don't understand what u mean by ur "it's unfair"
