Child Bride Who Killed Husband In Kano Gets Pardon After 7 Years In Jail by mdsne(m): 5:19pm On Aug 28, 2021 |
Child bride who killed husband in Kano gets pardon after 7 years in jail Rahma Hussein, a child bride found ‘liable’ of killing her husband seven years ago has finally regained her freedom. Hussein, who was jailed at age 16, was freed by the Committee on Prison Reforms and Decongestion. Apart from Hussein, the committee, led by Justice Ishaq Bello, also facilitated the release of 30 other inmates from various custodial centres in the state on Friday. PlatinumPost reports that in 2014, Hussein was arrested and charged to a high court in Kano for stabbing her husband to death a day after their wedding. Delivering the judgement in 2018, Justice R. A. Sadik ordered that the Ms Hussein be “detained at the pleasure of the governor of the state” because she was forcefully married and committed the offence at the age of 16. On Friday, the committee, in its ongoing tour to decongest prisons, found Ms Hussein worthy of benefiting from the presidential pardon. In a statement issued to journalists on Saturday, spokesman for the Correctional Centres in Kano, Musbahu Kofar-Nassarawa, said her release was “based on the recommendation from the officials of the correctional centre who attested to her good behavior and industry. According to him, the committee also advised the governor of Kano state, Abdullahi Ganduje, who holds the power of prerogative of mercy on her judgement, to consider the circumstances that led her to commit the offence and grant her pardon. He said the governor obliged to the advice and granted her pardon. Speaking after her pardon, excited Ms Hussein, thanked the committee, Mr Ganduje and officials of the correctional centre for facilitating her freedom. Hussein said in tears, “I’m grateful to this committee. May Allah bless you. The officials of the correctional centres, who recommended me to be beneficiary of this gesture, may Allah reward you abundantly. “I’m also grateful to Governor Ganduje for his mercy on me. I’m very happy today,” she said. Kofar-Nassarawa added that the committee had also paid fines of inmates with options of fine, settled compensations, and released those who are in critical health conditions as well as the elderly.

Her pardon? She had not committed any offence in the eyes of the law. Age of criminal liability under the law in Nigeria is 17. It is an aberration that she was sent to prison rather juvenile correction centre. The judge's verdict was correct. The release was in order given the fact that she was forcefully married out at age 16. Go and sin no more. 1 Like |
