Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has granted clemency to 12 inmates of the Nigerian Correctional Service in Ado-Ekiti Custodial Centre.
The state’s Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Olawale Fapohunda, on Tuesday, said these inmates were serving various terms for different offences such as stealing, house-breaking and were considered for clemency after recommendations by the Ekiti State Committee on Prerogative of Mercy.

“The beneficiaries were considered based on account of good conduct, remorsefulness and period left to serve at the centre,” said the Attorney-General, who was represented by the Director of Public Prosecution, Ekiti State, Julius Ajibare Esq.
Fapohunda, who further advised them to be of good conduct as they rejoined the society, charged the beneficiaries to avoid conducts inimical to the peace of the society and shun vengeance.
He also urged them to avoid anything that could bring them back to the centre.
The beneficiaries were Akinyemi Faith, Romiluyi Femi, Adebusuyi Deji, Philip Michael, Isa Kadere, Dayo Julius, Abiodun Oluwatosin, Adubiaro Sunday, Oluwatimileyin Olanikuti, Stephen Jacob, Adewale Ojo and Sunday Oluwasola.
