In a recent development, Sunday Jackson, a farmer from Adamawa State, Nigeria, has been sentenced to death by hanging after being convicted of killing a Fulani herdsman. Jackson claimed he acted in self-defense during an altercation with the herdsman, who allegedly attacked him first. Despite his defense, the Nigerian Supreme Court upheld the death sentence, leading to widespread reactions both locally and internationally.
The case has drawn significant attention, especially regarding the response of Nigerian religious leaders. An American pastor has reportedly taken steps to advocate for Jackson, seeking to overturn the conviction. However, some observers have criticized Nigerian pastors for their perceived silence on the issue, urging them to speak out and support efforts to secure Jackson’s release.
This situation highlights ongoing concerns about farmers-herders conflicts in Nigeria and the complexities surrounding legal defenses based on self-defense.
