US Congressman Riley M. Moore has called on the Nigerian government to pardon a farmer, Sunday Jackson, who was sentenced to death for k!lling a Fulani herdsman who invaded his farm while trying to defend himself. The Republican politician made the call while speaking in the U.S House of Representatives hearing on President Donald Trumps redesignation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC). According to him, the verdict convicting Jackson for defending himself is unfair. I would urge the Nigerian government to take a look at pardoning Sunday Jackson, who is an individual who was fighting for his own life, defending his life against one of these Fulani militants, Moore, a Republican, said during the hearing on Thursday. That Fulani militant lost his life in that struggle, and now that person, Sunday Jackson, is facing the d@ath penalty. Where is the justice in that?
