Breaking: Report reaching me has it that a Kaduna high court has sentenced Victor Solomon popularly known as Zidane to death by hanging for murder.
Zidane was arrested by the Elrufai led government in 2018 for defending his Adara community against Fulani terrorists attacks.
He was charged for murder in two different state high courts which one of the courts acquitted him of the charge while the other now condemned him to death.
Why should same charges be filed in two different state high courts?
This is another case of self defense getting the death sentence in Nigeria.
In October 2025, I visited Zidane in Kaduna prison where he assured me that since one court had acquitted him of the same charge, the other will do the same. Zidane was wrong, he believed too much in the compromised judiciary where judges dish out sentences based on the accused faiths.
