A 15-year-old boy who was sentenced to d£ath by h@nging for kidn@pping and m¥rder in Borno State has appealed to the state governor, Prof. Babagana Zulum, for clemency.
Mustapha Abubakar of Cell 6, Unit 1, Cluster 2 at the Maiduguri Maximum Security Custodial Centre in Borno State, made the appeal in a video obtained by SaharaReporters.
Abubakar was sentenced to d£ath by h@nging at age 14 after he was reportedly l¥red into a get-rich-quick scheme through kidn@pping for ransom that led to the d£ath of the ho§tage.
The teenage boy who is the youngest inmate at the facility is on d£ath row awaiting ex£cution at the facility along with 81 men and two women, according to SaharaReporters.
Speaking in the video, Abubakar said: “Peace be upon you all. I’m appealing to the governor through this medium.
I wholeheartedly agree that I committed the crime. I’m pleading with the governor for leniency because I’m the only child of a single parent (mother); my dad is d£ad. Please, have compassion on me regarding this matter. My father is d£ad; I only have my mother. I made this video on September 1, 2023…(continue reading on next slide.)
