The “Royal Couple” from Birmingham Found Guilty
In Birmingham, England, a couple who declared themselves royalty has been found guilty of “child neglect,” leading to the death of their 3-year-old son from malnutrition. Tai and Naiyahmi are set to be sentenced soon.
How could a “royal couple” allow their son to suffer from malnutrition?
Tai and Naiyahmi established a kingdom named after their family surname, the “Yasharahyalah Kingdom.”
Tai crowned himself king, and Naiyahmi was named queen. Their only heir, Abiyah, died due to neglect and abuse as a result of his parents’ bizarre policies…
It’s hard to believe, but Tai, a native of Birmingham, studied at Queen Mary University of London’s Department of Immunology, with deep knowledge in nutrition and genetics.

This brilliant medical student, however, fell into a fantasy world after meeting his wife Naiyahmi in 2014 and hasn’t woken up since.
Tai told Naiyahmi he wanted to establish a kingdom called Yasharahyalah, where he would be king and she the queen.
After their marriage, Tai announced their formal secession from the real world, no longer belonging to any nation, and even went as far as creating “passports” for their own country.

Tai also invented a belief system for the kingdom, a fusion of Nigerian indigenous religion and Christian elements.
In this system, Tai attempted to introduce polygamy, but Naiyahmi opposed it, not out of jealousy, but because:
Tai was still an omnivore, which didn’t meet the requirements. He had to adhere to a strict vegan diet to implement polygamy…

From then on, the couple began a vegan lifestyle, which they maintained even after their son Abiyah was born in 2017.
However, this insistence was detrimental to Abiyah, who suffered from severe malnutrition, rickets, anemia, and developmental delays from birth.

Despite being well-versed in nutrition, Tai watched his son’s condition deteriorate without changing his ways.
In February 2018, due to the couple’s odd behavior, neighbors reported them, leading to a welfare check by the police. At the time, nothing unusual was detected.
But in reality, Abiyah’s health was already dire.
By early 2020, Abiyah was severely malnourished, could barely stand, and had developed a lung infection. Yet, Tai and his wife refused to give him meat or nutritious food, and he even accidentally fell, breaking six bones.

Abiyah’s health worsened due to the infection and multiple fractures, and a month later, at only 3 years old, he stopped breathing.
Faced with their son’s death, the deluded Tai and Naiyahmi were unmoved. They kept Abiyah’s body on the bed for a whole week, performing various rituals to summon his soul, only stopping when they realized his “spirit” could not return.

They decided to bury their son in an 80 cm deep grave, conducting further ceremonies to aid his “rebirth.”
After Abiyah’s death, the couple didn’t notify authorities or reveal any information. A year later, when Birmingham police conducted another welfare check, they still didn’t notice anything unusual.
In 2022, the couple had moved their “kingdom” to Somerset, where local police conducted a welfare check and finally noticed something was amiss:
The couple was skeletal, showing signs of severe malnutrition.

The police began to question if they had children and how they were living.
Under pressure, Tai finally revealed that their son had died. After understanding the situation, the police immediately decided to arrest the couple.
Still immersed in his fantasy world, Tai struggled and shouted:
“This is my territory, you have no jurisdiction here, I have supreme royal authority!”
Of course, the Somerset police paid no heed to the “royal couple’s” privileges, arresting and handing them over for prosecution.
The forensic team later exhumed Abiyah’s remains, conducting multiple autopsies to reveal the details of the neglect and abuse he suffered before his death.
After over two years of investigation and evidence gathering, Tai and Naiyahmi were finally convicted recently. They will face their final sentencing next week.
The “Yasharahyalah Kingdom” will continue its reign of evil… in prison.
