No executions were carried out in Nigeria.

The Nigerian Prisons Service informed Amnesty International that 621 people were sentenced to death in 2017 alone.

It also reported that 17 pardons were granted, 28 people under sentence of death were exonerated and that 2,285 people were on death row, including four foreign nationals.

During the year a total of 68 death sentences were commuted. In July, at the National Economic Council, state governors agreed to either sign execution warrants or commute death sentences as a way of addressing prison overcrowding.

Anyone sentenced to death has the right to seek pardon or commutation.

Respect for the right to seek pardon or commutation requires a fair and adequate procedure that accords the opportunity to present all favourable evidence relevant to the granting of clemency.

 I am not in Cee-C good books- Tobi

Tobi Bakre has told Big Brother that he is not in Cee-C good books.

This occurred in Yesterday’s diary session as a frustrated Tobi was at a loss on where to find the second piece of his Pepsi puzzle carefully hidden by Cee-C.

While many viewers saw Cee-C’s act as a terrible way of sabotaging Tobi’s game, Tobi promised to never give up in the Pepsi task as he was committed to never giving up even if tried.

“I am not in Cee-C’s good books and I know part of the reasons for this. We used to like each other and we have moved on from that. But that act didn’t go well with her, so I guess that is why.”

Biggie proceeded to asking Tobi about his personal relationship in house and he went further to say that he can never handle all the drama that comes with Cee-C. So he chose to stay away from her.

“I can’t seem to handle all the drama that comes with Cee-C. So I decided to stay away from her since even being housemates with Cee-C is not easy as she is always looking for a means to throw jabs and insults.”

Big Brother ended the diary session with words of adoration for Tobi as he continued to search for his missing puzzle.
