Maryam Sanda’s name has been removed from the presidential pardon list.

This was contained in a statement by the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga on Wednesday.

Maryam was sentenced to death in 2020 for the culpable homicide of her husband, Bilyaminu Bello and her name was earlier included in President Tinubu pardon list.

In the statement, Tinubu ordered the removal of individuals convicted of severe crimes, including kidnapping, drug offenses, human trafficking, fraud, and illegal firearms possession or trafficking, from the list.

Meanwhile, those who were previously pardoned on the old list have had their sentences reduced.

 

Details shortly…
