Adelakun's parents, Folawe and Adeyemi Olaosebikan was sitting in the living room watching the news on TV and also lamenting on the refusal of payment of salaries by the government when he suddenly stormed in moodily and quietly sat beside them and said 'Dad, I need to pay my school fees before I can write the exam'. His parents looked at him scornfully and his dad responded,'I understand but we're yet to receive our salaries, I'll accompany you to your school tomorrow to have a chat with the principal'. 'Ok dad', he said and went to his room.
It's been three months now and they're yet to be paid, which is their right. Adelakun's parents could no longer cater for his needs thereby looking for a way to make money for himself. He joined the bad guys in school and he resorted to stealing instead of him to be patient and contented.
He became a tout for Chief Davies whereas his parents saw him as a good boy in school. He started skipping classes and started pretending for his parents that he was actually going to school.
He needed a certain amount of money for a field trip and since he couldn't get the money from his parents. He decided to steal Chief Davies' Iphone but unfortunately, he was caught in the process. His parents were shocked when they were contacted to visit the police station. They couldn't control their tears, 'He was a good boy', they lamented. He was tried and was sentenced to ten years imprisonment.
Engineer Jolaogun is a close friend of Chief Davies, he has made some enemies and he later discovered that someone was after his son's life but it was too late to save him. It was the son of Mr. Williams called Andrew who was also a fraudster that murdered him over the case of a high position. He too was arrested but due to his parents' influence, the two parties both reconciled after Chief Davies was offered thirty five million naira to ease his loss and he was granted a bail.
An honest police offer who knew about the murder wanted a proper justice, Andrew should be killed and the worst part of it is that he's not remorseful.
James(the honest police offer) who was influential was the lost cousin of Adelakun's father that was reconciled to the family recently, he also learned about Adelakun's case and was furious. He stole an Iphone and he was remorseful, in fact he's a changed boy but was still sentenced to ten years imprisonment, he cried almost everyday while Andrew who committed murder and unrepentful was set free. He was on his way going home when he had an accident and died instantly, he was actually murdered by Mr. Williams.
Should we continue to embrace injustice and to be denied our rights? Watch out for Justice Must Prevail 2.
Moral:
1) Never depend on a single income
2) Mind the kind of friends you keep, some are wolfs in sheep' clothing.
Peer group matters in the life of everyone.
3) Our God is a God of a second chance. We shouldn't condemn anybody but rather show love to such a person. James wouldn't want to help him if he was not truly remorseful. Was he going to be set free? How?
