You're obviously judging this case with your emotions. This is what the law says, "The right of self-defense is a fundamental right, but it is not a license to take the law into one's own hands."
I'm not trying to be in support of the killings carried out by the Fulani Herdsmen across the country but the fact is that, the man in question has gone against the law by killing the Herdsmen. He had a better option of running away because, running away from a fight is all a means of self defense instead, he personally took the laws into his hands and killed the Fulani Herdsmen. The law forbids that!
What are you saying mate? Herdsmen that has been terrorizing and destroying farmers land and even kill them on the farm, Herdsmen that the government on several occasions has told the farmers to defend themselves, Herdsmen that was proscribed as a terrorist group by the government is what you are telling me that mr Jackson sunday broke the law by killing one and wanted to  kill him.

We keep aiding evil in this country because of tribe and religion, how do you run away from someone that try to kill you? do you know the  situation mr Jacson Sunday was in? Is just like retuning an armed robber gun to him, who was trying to shot you and the gun felt down. Please that judgement with all standards lack merit and you have no prove to paint it good in the eyes of the law.
