Grave Miscarriage of justice against Sunday Jackson
This is Mr. Sunday Jackson, from Adamawa State. On March 7, 2025, the highest Court in Nigeria sentenced him to death by hanging for disarming and k!ll!ng a fulani terrorist who attacked him in his own farm.
In 2015, Jackson, a 29-year-old farmer and student from Dong Community in Demsa LGA of Adamawa, was working on his farm in Kodomti Community, Numan LGA when Buba Ardo Bawuro, a herdsman, herded his cattle into his farm to feed on his crops.
Jackson challenged him but the herdsman pulled out a knife and attacked him twice.
Although wounded, Jackson was able to seize the knife and stab him in return. Bawuro later died from his wounds.
The police arrested and tried the farmer with culpable homicide in Yola High Court. The charge carried a death sentence under Section 211 of the penal code.
He was subsequently sentenced to death by hanging by the lower court.
He appealed to the Court of Appeal and later the Supreme Court, but the death sentence was upheld.
This ruling sets a dangerous precedent that undermines self-defence claims in similar situations, sending a chilling message to those who might defend their livelihoods.
Justice System Critique.
This case reveals systemic biases and inadequate legal representation, raising serious concerns about the integrity of Nigeria’s judicial process.
Funke Adeoye, the founder of Hope Behind Bars, the prison reform non-governmental organisation which provided legal aid to Jackson, confirmed that one of the judges had dismissed the charges against him but he was convicted based on the confessional statement he wrote without the help of a lawyer.
Jackson’s case has attracted national and international attention. Civil society organisations say that his conviction did not consider mitigating circumstances.
The Nigerian public has also been keen on the case. A petition on that has now reached 70,000 signatures appeals that Jackson be granted a presidential pardon.
Sunday has now spent 9 years in custody for an act of survival.

Asking for your grand kids
Today we have received students from the Global Health Systems program at @SchulichMedDent (Canada) joining us for their Field school and Practicum placements.
I can’t forget how one of my essays during my Master’s degree was marked down claiming that “my essay was too grammatically correct for an international student.” I was so annoyed and wrote a lengthy response to the Academic Review team and they had to start apologising.
