Malami Speaks On Pardoning Nnamdi Kanu

Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami has opened up on granting Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu pardon.

The AGF said that the issue of pardoning Nnamdi Kanu is premature.

He made the statement on Channels Television programme, ‘Politics Today’ on Wednesday, December 1st, 2021.

Malami said; “The trials associated with Kanu have not been concluded and as such the pardon option cannot get on the table just yet. The option has not been ruled out.”

“Pardon is a function of conviction in the Nigerian context and as far as I know, Nnamdi Kanu has not been convicted yet so the idea of pardoning him is premature.”

“I am yet to assess the security implications if granting Kanu pardon is an option for peace in the South East.”
