No
fewer than 500 Nigerian youths are presently languishing in Japanese
prisons over alleged drugs and other related offences, Bishop Enock
Adebayo yesterday said and called for immediate action.
Bishop
Adebayo, President of the Nigeria-Japan Chamber of Commerce, said
government should do everything possible to save the lives of the
youths. He spoke to reporters in Lagos.
According
to Rev Adebayo, who is married to a Japanese woman with six children,
said the Chamber of Commerce had tried all it could to save the youths
but to no avail, because of the large number of the offenders and the
alleged lukewarm attitude of the Nigerian Ambassador in Japan.
He
claimed that the youths must have engaged in the unholy businesses
because of lack of jobs and that they (youths) believed they had no
future in their country, Nigeria.
