Kano State Governor Pardons 22 Inmates on Death Row.

Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has granted clemency to 22 inmates, including 12 on death row, who had served lengthy sentences. The move aims to reform the justice system and provide second chances for offenders who have demonstrated good behaviour and potential for rehabilitation. The act has helped to decongest the custodial centres, and the inmates were given transportation fare to reunite with their families.
