Head of public relations at the Nsawam Prisons, Superintendent Vitalis A-Iyeh, has disclosed to the Daily Guide Newspaper that the entire management of the Nsawam Prisons is considering adding his name to the list of prisoners likely to be granted presidential pardon soon.

Dr. Gabass has since his incarceration in 2015 been imparting knowledge to his fellow inmates at the Nsawam Prisons, a development, among other requirements, that is bringing him closer to attracting pardon.

Earlier, the family of Dr. Abass filed a petition to the president calling for a possible presidential pardon.

Sulley Ali-Gabass, serving a 25-year sentence, has revealed that the just ended Ifta celebrations was one of the worst ever in his lifetime.

According to him; “back at home I used to organize small parties for my neighbors [both the Christians and Muslims] so we enjoy [but] all these are memories that we cherish which we cannot do here.

Dr. Ali Gabass was slapped with a 25-year jail sentence after a 16-year-old male victim expressed in a detailed description how the doctor had sexually exploited him.

It all happened in September 2013 when the victim encountered Ali-Gabass on Facebook and they became friends.

According to the prosecution, the act was repeated at the same venue in February 2014. It said in March and April 2014, Dr. Ali-Gabass lured the victim to his house at Alajo in Accra where he had another bout of anal sex with him.
