This is a story written by Frainc, (58F0E4E2)…

FIVE DAYS AFTER

i was on my way home(driving), coming from my aunt’s place when a police van over took my car and cross my way
they all rush out from their van
one of them shot into the air

“yes this is the car sir”

one of them told another fat officer while pointing his gun at my car

i remain silent but scared because i don’t know what they are up to

“come down now befor i
blow ya head for you, arm
robber

one of them shouted at me
i quickly jump out of the car
but still confuse

“oga abeg i no understand”

i was about asking what was my offence when two different thunder slap landed on my face
i instantly went blind
my hearing started receiving evil spirit’s signal
everywhere became dark
i tried to gain my balance but i couldn’t

“thief thief common push him
here, wey ur gang,ur gang

some of them scream

all i was able to say was to scream
“i no bi thief o, i no bi thief o
please help me o”

“shot up”
i heard another voice shouting at me
befor i know what is happening
i have been bundled into their van

AT THE STATION

i was told to write a statement which i refuse
i told them to tell me my offence befor i will pen anything down

“if real hand touch you
nobody go tell you to write
befor you go beg for biro

i brought out my phone to call my aunt but i was surprise when a corstable snatched the phone from me and threating to deal with me

“oga say make una bring him
come his office”

a man without uniform said
i was usher into DPO’s office
i meet a man with big tummy sitting behind a big desk

“so as fine as you are, your
job is to robb and kill people”

the man ask

i told him i don’t have any clue of what have been accused of
he told me to help them by telling them where the rest of my gang are
i told him i don’t have any gang and i want my phone to be release to me
“your phone or what did
you just say?
please take him to cell and
make sure he confess”

he orderd one of the officer

i was detained for two wicked weeks befor my aunt was able to trace my car to the station
i went through hell in the hand of thoes animal

she wept when she saw me
i beged her to help me find out what was my offence
she told me that she was inform that my jeep was seen with the robbers that robb one mr Azu and killed his daughter in the process

i tld her that could not be because i have never givin my ride out to anybody

but i was surprise when i was told that the scence happene the sunday i was at ibadan
my aunt tried to bail me out but she was told that the case is beyond bailing
the DPO said i will be charge to court for robbery and murderer
i could not believe this is happenin to me
i wish to wake up and find it was all dream

this is when i remember the dream my mum told me she had concernin me

“no no this can’t come to pass”

i said while shaking my head in pain

“what is that?”
she asked
i told her about the dream
there was a short silence after i have told her

“chuks….i’m sorry to say this

she told me that my mum fainted and rushed to hospital when she was told of me get missing

“oh my GOD”
aunty please can you do
something to get me out of
here”

i beged her

although i was ok facially but the man in me is gone

my aunty promise to contact her lawyer once she leave the place(police station)

i was taking back to the cell
but at this junction i was no more thinking about myself but my mummy

i forgot to tell my aunt to get my phone from thoes officers for me to make calls
STILL AT THE STATION

i was still in the cell when an officer called me out and lead me to DOP’s office where i meet my sister from ibadan, my aunty, DOP and a middle age man on suit

i wasn’t surprise to see my sister there because i know my mum would have been there too if she was strong

i looked straight into my sister’s eyes
she just broke down in tears when she saw me
she move closer to me and urge me tight

“i know you can’t do this
we all trust you”

she continue to sob
i held her head tight to my shoulder to comfort her

“please can you tell me the truth
about mama’s health condition

i beged her to tell while her head still rest on my shoulder

“as at yesterday befor i left
ibadan she was still on
seriouse condition according
to the doctor”

i was hurt to hear that
i nearly cry but i try to hold it back just to prove that am a man
but deep down me i was crying

my aunty’s voice made us to lose up
she later introduce the man on suit to me as her lawyer
the lawyer was introduce to me as barrister Andy
i was told he has handled many cases like that

barrister Andy beged the DPO to allow him to have sometime private talk with me
he allow but he told us to make it snappy befor he left the office for us

i explained how i was arrested on my way home to him

“i meant to understand that
your jeep was sighted at the
place where the crime took
place”

he said

“something is wrong
somewhere and that is what
we will find out”
he said

we were still talking on how to find solution to my problem when my sister’s rang
she picked it and answered the caller
suddenly she screamed
“noooooo God noooo”
while she droped the phone on ground

the DPO rushed in along with some officers to know what is wrong

right there i knew something has happened to my mum but i still want her to tell us what she heard
“sister please tell us na”

i pleaded

“my husband said mama
don die”

she finaly said what i already know but don’t want to hear it
she said what will forever remain in my memory
what will make me feel guilty of killin my mother with the case i knew nothin about

the DPO was touched
he even tried and to console my sister

i tried to hold back the tears
but the more i try the more the tears roll down

i don’t wanna cry but tears keep comin

how i wish this could be dream

“chuks i will come and see you
tomorrow, i think we need to
take your sister home now”

barrister said

DPO told one of the officers to take me back to cell

“chuks chuks, come out her jor”

i heard my name been called by one of the officers

i reluctantly pull myself out of my deep thinking and answered him

“person dey look for you”

i was taking to a room where families or friends meet with their relatives in detention

loveth was sitting on one of the bench in that room

“loveth”
i called
she turned around and saw me
i can see the traces of tears on her face
i notice she also lose weight
in short the loveth i saw that day look differente to me
i don’t need to be told that she is not fine
her appearance says it all

“what are you doing here?”

i know that was a silly question to ask but i just want to say somethin since i don’t know what to say

“chuks i don’t know what to say”

she force herself to speak

“i have been coming here
without them(police)
allowing me to see you”

she said in a sympathetic way

all i could do was to stired at her
she looked down then said

“i heard everything,but believe
me, there must be mix up
somewhere”

“yea i know, but how will i
prove that? who will be my
witness”

“GOD”
she interrupted
