Photo credited to Ministry of Justice- Adamawa The Nigerian Supreme Court has upheld the death sentence of Sunday Jackson, a farmer from Adamawa State, who killed a Fulani herdsman in an act he claims was self-defence. Jackson, a local farmer was attacked on his farm by a herdsman armed with a knife. Despite suffering injuries, he fought back and killed his attacker. Arrested in 2014, he spent seven years in detention before being convicted of murder and sentenced to death in 2021. The trial judge suggested he should have fled despite his injuries.
