Following significant “backlash” for granting a presidential pardon to Maryam Sanda—who was sentenced to death in 2020 for the killing of her husband, Bilyaminu Bello—President Bola Tinubu has officially revoked the pardon.
Instead of a full pardon, President Tinubu has reversed her sentence to 12 years.

According to the gazette, Sanda, who has already spent six years and eight months at the Suleja Medium Security Custodial Centre, was granted the new, commuted term on “compassionate grounds.”
