Christian Nigerian farmer, who killed an armed Islamic radical in self-defense after being violently attacked on his farm, saved from the death penalty after U.S. pressure.

@RepRileyMoore
."After more than a decade in prison serving a death sentence for defending himself, Sunday Jackson has been pardoned," Moore continued in a statement on X.
"Sunday is a Christian farmer who, like countless of other Christians in Nigeria, was brutally attacked by an Islamic radical."
"Sunday fought back in self-defense, killing his attacker. I have been advocating for Sunday’s release both in public and in private meetings, including during my recent Congressional Delegation visit to Nigeria..."
"Our Lord came to set the captives free, and now Sunday will be able to celebrate Christmas with his family. Thanks be to God!"
