Akolade Arowolo, a Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God who was sentenced to death three years ago for stabbing his wife has sought for pardon from the Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode.
Akolade was found guilty of brutally killing his wife, Titilayo in 2011 and was sentenced to death by an Ikeja High Court 3 years ago.
Apparently, the former pastor has sought for pardon under the Lagos State Prerogative on Mercy conferred on the Governor, claiming they are reformed and should be pardoned.
Akolade’s pleading came as the Committee on Prerogative on Mercy stated that the state will not fail to exercise its prerogative on prisoners, who proved to be reformed.
He delivered a speech on behalf of his fellow inmates, pleaded for mercy, added that they are all remorseful and have learned from their mistakes.
Arowolo was among 74 prisoners called out by the committee, led by Professor Oyelowo Oyewo, set up by the governor to review their applications for pardon.
The committee was on a fact-finding visit to the prisons to have first hand information from the inmates that are eligible for mercy and pardon.
Chairman of the committee, Oyelowo, said the governor will act on the committee’s recommendations based on the rules and guidelines set by law for the committee to conduct its work.
though aweful but GOD have mercy
ensure not to judge so you don’t fall into judgement yourself
Shut 4 f up, judge wat, so dere should be no laws in societies, no judiciary? cos pple like u misinterpret d bible. Nonsense
This man don’t need to be forgiven. He stabbed his wife for 76 times. This is wickedness beyond understanding. He should be executed.
The Bible says. A Soul dat sin, we die. neither by Govt or not. he will face it, in another dimension dat known to God.
The Desire of Christ Jesus is for you and i to be save and free from condemnation, so Jesus came not because of the Righteous but bcos of the sinner that genuinely repent

Real estate is life!!
If at all he is to be pardoned, his purnishment MAY be converted to life imprisonment. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD A MURDERER BE LET LOOSE whethere sober or not.
He did the act intentionally – stabbing the woman 76 times, hah!
Like seriously this is so absurd, inhuman ,wickedness, ad even a devil is a saint to compare wit dat evil man that calls himself a pastor.my God 76times! ad some people here are talking abt forgiveness.even d bible said we should suffer not d witches to live.ad also d wages of sin is death.d same Bible said dat a soul that sinneth shall die.am sure d pastor himself knows d bible more than I do.
Jesus? I’m not getting it. You people should leave Jesus aside this story. He didn’t think about Jesus when he starb his wife to death, a pastor to say. That is why our country is like this, a country where anything goes. Go and do this in advanced country and tell them is devil, by time they are done with you others will learn from you.
