Ade Adesomoju, Abuja The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr Abubakar Malami , said on Tuesday that the Federal Government was planning a process of commuting the death pen

alty of condemned inmates with over 10 years on death row to life imprisonment.

But he said considering the increasing number of incidents of sexual and kidnap cases, inmates who had been convicted for such offences would not be considered for release during the proposed exercise. “We are very mindful of the increasing number of sexual assault and kidnapping; and with respect to the public interest those who are charged or convicted for such offences will not be considered for release during the proposed exercise.”

The PCCSRD’s name was changed from the Presidential Committee on Prisons Reform and Decongestion following the rechristening of the Nigerian Prisons Service as the Nigerian Correctional Service in 2019.
