Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani ordered the release of 97 inmates on June 12th, marking the Democracy Day celebration. The governor’s clemency aims to decongest correctional facilities and offer a second chance to qualifying prisoners. Alongside their release, each freed inmate received cash grants to assist with immediate needs. Furthermore, the Kaduna State government pledged to provide vocational training opportunities to support long-term rehabilitation and economic empowerment. This initiative is intended to facilitate successful reintegration into society and reduce recidivism rates. The governor’s action underscores a commitment to restorative justice and social welfare within the state. Details of the inmates’ prior offenses were not immediately available.
