Death by Hanging: Governor Adeleke Intervenes, Orders Action For Prerogative Of Mercy
Governor Ademola Adeleke has directed immediate investigation and pardoning action on the case of a young man reportedly sentenced to death by hanging in Osun state for stealing fowl.
In a statement on Tuesday by the Governor’s spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, Adeleke ordered the Attorney General to intervene in the matter and ensure the youngman is listed for prerogative of mercy before the end of the year.
“I have read about the case. I recognise separation of powers in our democracy. In this particular case, I have directed the Commissioner for Justice to initiate processes to grant prerogative of mercy to the young man.
“Osun is a land of justice and equity. We must ensure fairness and protection of the sanctity of lives.
“I assure the public that the matter is receiving my direct attention. A sense of urgency is also attached to our response to the matter as a responsible state government”, the Governor was quoted as saying.
