This book attempts to set out Yoruba law and administration of justice in the pre-colonial era. With illuminating details, instances and examples, the author demonstrates how owe, asa, ase, ofin, maxims and precedents were used in Yorubaland to settle disputes between two people or groups. The book further establishes that Yoruba life was permeated with religion and religious belief without which the Yoruba could not have built and maintained their stable pattern of law and order. This quality ensured speedy and inexpensive administration of justice and the promptness with which the laws were enforced to produce law abiding and orderly people. The book educates the reader that the administration of justice in Yorubaland is open, fair and on the whole, impartial. It is straightforward and it puts premium on clarity, without ambiguity or technicality. The book is aimed at the Yoruba and African youth. It is to inform or remind them of their heritage and culture, wisdom and philosophy of their ancestors.
