The Clementina Legal Aid Philantrophy Foundation (CLAP), is set to provide free or subsidised legal aid to vulnerable Africans especially those wrongfully detained.

This move is said to bring renewed hope to underprivileged Africans in need of justice.

This profound act of service is put together by a grassroots family in Remoland based in the United Kingdom, to honour the legacy of the late Mrs. Clementina Daley (nee Modupe).

The late Madam Daley was a respected community leader, businesswoman, and humanitarian who was widely admired for her compassion, fairness, and resilience.

CLAP’s mission is to provide free or subsidised legal aid to vulnerable Africans especially those wrongfully detained, denied fair representation, or unable to meet bail conditions due to financial hardship.

The Foundation in a statement said, “We have all heard of the numerous cases of wrongful arrests, incompetent investigations, wrongful convictions, and delayed justice; especially when it affects the most vulnerable, less connected, and less well-off members of society across the African continent.

“The Clementina Legal Aid Philanthropy (CLAP) Foundation exists to bridge the gap where government institutions fall short — whether due to inadequate funding, incompetence, corruption, geographical limitations, or poor public awareness.

“Founded by the Modupe family, who are based in the United Kingdom and hail from Remoland in Ogun State, Nigeria, CLAP is a non-profit organisation dedicated to restoring justice and dignity to the less privileged.

“The Foundation was created in loving memory of their recently departed daughter, sister, aunty, businesswoman, and Iyaloja (Market Leader) of London’s world-renowned East Street Market.

“Her life embodied compassion, fairness, and unwavering morality: values the CLAP Foundation intends to carry forward in all its cases.

“For many Africans silenced by poverty and trapped in cycles of injustice, CLAP’s launch marks the beginning of a new era of hope. The foundation expects strong support from local communities, legal practitioners, and international partners, paving the way for a sustainable movement towards justice and equality in the country.”
