Former Chief of General Staff, Oladipo Diya and Former Chief of Staff Supremem Military Concil, and brother of the late President, Major General Shehu Musa Yar'adua received a State Pardon from the National Council of State, this afternoon, a source who attended the meeting has revealed to NaijaPundit.
Also pardoned were ex-Major Bello Magaji NA/6604, Mohammed Lima Biu, Shettima Bulama, Former Governor of Bayelsa State, Chief DSP Alamieyeseigha, Major Geeneral Abdulkareem Adisa (Post Humous) and Major Segun Fadipe.
Our source revealed to us that the Council of State, which is comprised of the President, Vice President, all state governors, former Presidents, the Chief Justice of the Federation, the Senate President and Speaker, amongst others, unanimously approved the list of those pardoned today.
The Council of State meeting however was not without its drama as another list which had names of hose awaiting trial was smuggled in for discussion. The Council however rejected the list and asked that it be sent back to the duo of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and the Minister of the Interior.
Sources told us that the unjust trial and conviction of Diya and Yar'adua was the basis of their pardon while Alamieyeseigha was considered because apart from serving his sentence he has devoted his life to travelling amongst Niger Delta communities facilitating the peace

Naija is such a big joke!... Hellish for d petty thieves, but magnificient for d big thieves.

but Why ALAMS.

Why give state pardon to those that has distroy our economy and future?
What about innocent languishing in prison without justice anything 4 them?
What about those petty theives and those that did bad things because of the uncondusive enviroment they find themselves?
Uuuhmmmmm!!!!!!!!
Oga Jonathan u are giving ur self a bad image with all this things u are doing.

i don't know what the government or all those here are trying to prove. We have not been informed how reformed Alams has become and if he is clean now he should go back to Europe to clear his name. This government is not encouraging youths to do what is good as details of Alams pardon will become clear as political strategy against 2015, my opinion though.

Some peaple will still come and defend him on this issue, na wah for us O.

So why are we complaining when Boko haram said they also want amnesty Salary and also a seat in Senate

GEJ and co, keeps taking cluelessness to brazen new levels of astonishment! Its a celebration for criminals.
