ENGLISH TRANSLATION

On Friday, June 7, 2013, Opemipo Jaji, 18 years old, was sentenced to life imprisonment for rape.

Recently, Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale were on trial for murder, this bad news has not gone down when the news of life imprisonment sentence for Opemipo Jaji was announced.

What is happening?  Yoruba proverb said “The elder cannot be in the market while the head of a new born is crooked”.  It is time for Yoruba Elders in the United Kingdom to come together to find out the root cause of these terrible crimes among our Youths.
