Covid-19 Violation: Lagos State Government pardons actress Funke Akindele-Bello and her Husband JJC Skillz
Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has approved the release of 56 inmates from various correctional Centres and granted State pardon to actress Funke Akindele-Bello and her husband, Abdulrasheed Bello aka JJC Skillz, who are both non-custodial convicts for offences related to the disobedience of the COVID-19 lockdown regulations.
A statement signed by the State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Moyosore Onigbanjo, SAN, said Governor Sanwo-Olu acted based on the recommendations of the State Advisory Council on Prerogative of Mercy, under the powers conferred on the Governor by Section 212 (1) & (2) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended.
The 56 released inmates were recommended by the Advisory Council after due examination of their case files and consideration of the length of time served, the gravity of the offence, old age and ill-health among other parameters.
The Attorney General further enjoined the beneficiaries to be good citizens and stay away from crime.
So, the state government still on the matter of actress funke akindele and her husband, I think when she has done the court have asked her to do the public service and fine her with #100,000 naira and I thought everything has died down. Congrats to her.
Congratulations to both of them on their release and to the rest of the inmates, I really thank God for them to regain their freedom after serving many years in jail and I hope they won’t go back to their previous atrocities.
