State consents to death row inmate�s request

The 59-year-old Gabaakanye, who was condemned to death in 2014 and has since had his sentence upheld at the Court of Appeal (CoA), reckons the information contained in the records may provide crucial details to his pending application for clemency.

Through a consent order between his attorney, Martin Dingake and the Attorney General Chambers’ Oaitse Rammidi yesterday, the state agreed to avail Gabaakanye with the written report of the case from his trial judge in line with the constitution.
