I talk am, Tinubu no even know the crime of people he pardoned 🤣
ReplyDeleteHe knows, don't be deceived. It's because of the public outcry and international eyes watching.
DeleteYou seem to know so much what he knows or doesnt know...Its quite simple to see that he didnt know and he listened to the voice of outcry!
DeleteFan nwannem he knows, let's just say that he listened to the backlash and made amendments which is commendable.
DeleteYou are very funny
DeleteLol, na WA for you oo.
DeleteWhat is the work of his special adviser?
He had already pardoned her, this extra jail term is because people cried out.
ReplyDeleteRead and make sure you understand before commenting......She was to die by hanging.....he reduced it to 12 years and she has already spent 6 years, remaining 6
DeleteAnon 08:58, you need your own advice more than me.
DeleteShe was already pardoned and nowhere in the previous news that said her jail term was reduced until now that people cried out.
Thank God he listened to the voice of reason.I wonder who went through the list and gave Baba to sign such in the first place
ReplyDeleteHmmm 🙄🙄🙄
ReplyDeleteVictims father begged for her release so that she can be available to take care of his two grandchildren. It had nothing to do with Tinubu. Due to public backlash he reversed it. It’s the man’s family asking for the pardon and Tinubu should not have reversed it.
ReplyDelete5 years will soon be here, her husband's family have already forgiven her.....I hope she comes out a better person.
ReplyDeleteMariam
