The federal government says it will follow all court processes. Lawyers expect rapid appeals and legal challenges to follow sentencing.

Amnesty examples Gumi cited

Gumi cited Shagari’s pardon for Ojukwu as a long ago precedent. He also referenced Yar’Adua’s moves on Niger Delta militants years ago.

Gumi said forgiveness can help calm things down across Nigeria. He urged leaders to try talks before violence grows further.

“I will seek peace.” He said that his offer depends on Kanu’s public apology and peace call.

Human rights groups warn against quick pardons without full review. They urge clear answers and full legal steps before any release.

Some community leaders back reintegration for repentant militants who lay down arms. They say reintegration helps heal wounds and rebuild trust locally.
