Over 500 Nigerian youths Languish in Japanese prison- Bishop Adeboye

Based on recent findings, at least 500 Nigerian youths are languishing in Japanese prisons over alleged drugs and other related offences, a Nigerian-born Bishop, Enock Adebayo has said.

Adebayo who is president of the Nigeria-Japan Chamber of Commerce based in Japan, said while briefing newsmen in Lagos, yesterday, that the Federal Government should take immediate action to save lives of the youths.

He said, ”the chamber has been educating more than 3,000 Nigerians among them, the youths resident in Japan that the future of Nigeria is very rosy and bountiful, which will propel Nigeria to become a world power in the next 10 years. Nigerian youths should be honest, hardworking, resourceful, faithful and be able to plan ahead. We have been educating them not to cross the ‘red line,’ in order not to fall into the same temptation and mistakes our past leaders found themselves.”

He advised Nigerian elders and leaders to behave well, because the youths and their children are watching their footsteps, either for good or bad.”
