Samuel Jackson was working peacefully on his farm when a herdsman entered with cows that destroyed his crops.
Samuel asked him to leave — he refused.
When Samuel tried to chase the cows away, the herder stabbed him twice.
Bleeding and scared, Samuel ran.
But the herdsman chased him, and a struggle followed.
Samuel managed to disarm him and, in fear for his life, stabbed him twice in the neck.
The herdsman died.
Samuel was arrested and charged. He pleaded self-defense.
But the court ruled that:
Since Samuel had already disarmed the attacker, there was no more imminent danger.
Stabbing in the neck showed “intent to kill.”
He was found guilty of murder and sentenced to death by hanging.
His appeal was also dismissed. 💔

Now Look at This Other Case…
Hussaini Ismaila — a.k.a. “The Dangerous Commander” — an ISWAP terrorist linked to coordinated attacks in Kano that killed over 100 people, was arrested and charged.
After years of trial, his lawyer begged for leniency, saying he was now remorseful.
He was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Two Nigerians. Two deaths involved. Two completely different outcomes.
One was a farmer defending his life.
The other was a terror commander with countless victims.
Yet the farmer got death by hanging,
while the terror leader got 20 years.

This isn’t about emotions — it’s about the questions we must ask:
⚖️ Is justice equal for all?
⚖️ Do ordinary citizens get the same fairness as powerful criminals?
⚖️ Is our system protecting the weak or punishing them?
Nigeria deserves a justice system where every life matters, and where judgments reflect fairness, not imbalance.
