Episode 4
Chief Obi Patrick descended the stairs into the
living room where two
of his business and politics friends were
seated. The two men, Prince
Ogunsakin, a former executive governor of one
of the south-west states
and Andrew Gulak, a three time presidential
aspirant who has lost all
three times at the general election.
“Good morning Chief.” The two men greeted.
“How you doing this bright morning?” Patrick
asked.
“We are good sir.” The two men replied.
“Hope no problems? Why are you here?”
“Sir, we are here concerning the death of
Kingsley.” Gulak said.
Chief Obi Patrick motioned him to keep quiet.
“Lets go into my study where no one will hear
us.” Chief Patrick
said leading the way and his visitors followed
him.
+++++INSIDE THE STUDY+++++
“kingsley remains our only opposition in the
oil and gas sector.
You know how stubborn and adamant he has
been on the latest request we
submitted to him.”
“What request is that?” Gulak asked.
“So you don’t know? We only requested for ten
percent of the oil
revenue budget to finance the party but he
refused. Now he wants a
senatorial ticket and he is almost getting it.”
Chief Patrick explained.
Gulak knew only few of the party’s activities
and policies because he
just decamped from the opposition party when
he discovered he’ll never
win the presidency while in the party. But
joining the ruling party, he
knew he won’t get the presidential ticket but
he has been assured of the
vice presidency. Chief Patrick has promised to
axe the current vice
president few months to the election.
“With Kingsley dead now, who is taking his
place?” Ogunsakin asked.
“According to the news I heard yesterday, his
deputy, one woman from
the east will assume the office temporarily
before the president
nominate a new candidate.” Patrick replied.
“And women from the east are difficult to
control.” Gulak said.
The three men continued to make plans over
the upcoming election.

Five girls were seated in their room getting
dressed for a birthday
party. The girls, Dayo, Dolapo, Tola, Chioma
and Hadiza are in their
final year in the Lagos state university.
“Hadiza, why are you looking gloomy?” Tola
asked.
“Deoye asked me not to go to that party.”
Hadiza replied.
“Who is Deoye?” Tola asked.
“My boyfriend nau.” Hadiza replied.
“Oh! sorry. I thought you guys have broken
up.”
“Why will he ask you not to go to the party?”
Dayo, a computer
science student asked.
“He said it is dangerous for me.”
“How come he knew that?” Dayo asked.
“He gave no tangible reason.” Hadiza replied.
“Babe, abeg free yourself. Nothing do you.
We’ll all stay together
throughout the party” Chioma, an Igbo girl
studying English said
assuringly.
With these the ladies trooped out of their
apartment and boarded a cab at the bus-stop
that conveyed them to the venue of the party
outside the school.
+++++++AT THE PARTY++++++++
As the party progresses, everyone was having
fun and music was being played by a disc
jockey who is expert at what he does.
“Baby lets talk outside.” A guy said to Hadiza
as they were dancing and she obliged since
they couldn’t hear themselves properly inside
the party.
They went outside and started talking.
Dayo’s phone vibrated, she checked it and
discovered she has a message which reads,
“You persuaded her to go with you bah? I’ll
get you killed.” From Deo.
Dayo knew Deoye was a dreaded cultist in the
school. And messing around with his is as
dangerous as messing with a lion.
She quickly exited the hall and went in search
of Hadiza whom she saw when she left the hall
with a guy. But she met the shocker of her life
when she got outside.
