Ademola Adeleke pardon

Ademola Adeleke pardon sees 36 inmates released in Osun as the governor marks Nigeria’s 65th Independence with compassion and justice.

Ademola Adeleke pardon has brought relief and renewed hope to 36 inmates as the Osun State Governor granted them freedom in a heartfelt move marking Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary.

In a statement issued in Osogbo on Wednesday, the Governor’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, announced that the inmates were released from Ilesa and Ile-Ife correctional centres following the recommendations of the State Advisory Council on the Prerogative of Mercy.

Governor Adeleke exercised his constitutional powers under Section 212 of the 1999 Constitution to grant the pardon, which primarily benefited those convicted of minor offences such as stealing and conspiracy, many of whom had already served most of their sentences.

Speaking on the decision, Adeleke described the pardon as a reflection of the values of compassion, justice, and national renewal that Independence Day symbolises.

“As a government of the people, we remain committed to upholding justice while extending mercy to deserving citizens.

This amnesty is not only a gesture of freedom but a call for true rehabilitation and a fresh start for these individuals,” the governor stated.

The Ademola Adeleke pardon included the names of 29 inmates from Ilesa Correctional Centre and 7 from Ile-Ife.

The list featured both men and women, whose release is expected to ease prison congestion and promote reintegration into society.

In Osogbo, the state capital, residents observed the Independence holiday with a subdued atmosphere. Streets that are usually busy saw light traffic, and most workers stayed indoors.

Traders at Ota-Efun Market reported low patronage, with some attributing the lull to high transport costs and ongoing economic hardship.

The Ademola Adeleke pardon not only marks a symbolic gesture of justice but also brings attention to the importance of rehabilitation and second chances in a society striving for equity and growth.
