ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Many Yoruba indigenes that are doing well both at home and abroad never made any news. It is unfortunate that the few that engaged in evil acts like: drug peddling, cultism, stealing etc. are destroying the good work of the others.

Yoruba adage said “He/She who steals destroys the innocence of a child”, news about good deed never spread like the news of the recent evil act committed by the duo: Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale that spread all over the world.

It is apt for the Government and all Yoruba indigenes to join hands to condemn evil because according to the Yoruba proverb, “One slave causes the abuse of two hundred”.
