20 year old student Sunday Jackson was farming to support his wife & daughter when he was violently attacked by a Fulani herdsman with a knife. Despite injuries he sustained, Jackson struggled with his attacker wresting the weapon from him and struck back following which his attacker died. 

After being in pretrial detention for seven years, with evidence showing that Jackson was stabbed in his leg, the trial court sentenced him to death on the rationale that he ought to have run after disarming the herdsman. Regrettably, the Supreme Court upheld his death sentence on March 7 and he is now to be executed by hanging.

Now in his early 30’s, Jackson has a 10-year-old daughter born months after his imprisonment whom he has never seen and may never see.

Please sign this petition to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Governor of Adamawa state to grant clemency to Sunday Jackson. #SelfDefenseisNotaCrime
