Joshua MacIver, the deputy governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bayelsa State, has been cleared of all legal obligations.

Daily Report Nigeria reports that the Nigerian Correctional Centre (NCS) declared Maciver free of any pending prison sentence obligation over him.

Controller-General of Corrections, Haliru Nababa, clarified in a leaked document titled “to whom it may concern” that MacIver was granted amnesty by the late President Umaru Yar’Adua, along with other Niger Delta militants.

The amnesty proclamation, as stated by Nababa in a letter addressed to MacIver’s lawyer, Benjamin Ogbara, effectively ended MacIver’s prison sentence at the Kaduna prisons.

Checks revealed that Maclver had been imprisoned in 2006 for pressuring an oil company operating in his community to assist citizens with basic amenities.

To support the claim, the controller-general also attached the official gazette containing the amnesty proclamation and other relevant documents, providing clear evidence that MacIver has been cleared of all offences.

Nababa said:

“This is to confirm that Mr. Joshua MacIver, who was serving a prison sentence in Kaduna Prisons following his conviction in charge number FHC/KD/119C/2004, on the 26th of February, 2006 was granted Amnesty alongside other Niger Delta militants by President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua.

“This is in pursuant to the Amnesty Proclamation dated the 25th of June, 2009 in exercise of the powers vested on the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria under section 175 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“He is, therefore, no longer under any legal obligation to continue to serve the prison sentence. Please, find attached the official gazette containing the amnesty proclamation and other relevant documents.”
