****episode 3******
“My lord, barrister clement started. This
case as convincing as it might look is a
mere case of slander against my client.
1. The case holds no water as contrary to
their claims that my client shot and killed
his wife, there is no autopsy report to
back that claim. Infact the body of the
victim is nowhere to be found.
2. My client, Mr Olundare Jacobs, after
thorough scrutiny by members of his
community was chosen along with few
men in his community to save lives. He is a
member of the vigilante group in his
community so i see no reason why he
should take the life of his wife.
Homicide is a very strong accusation and i
dont expect the testimony of one man to
hold weight. I hereby pray this court to
strike out this case in the name of justice”
he concluded his statement.
“once a joker, always a joker” Barrister
Briggs muttered under his breathe. He
doesn’t have time to show his swagg, he
just had to make sure his daughter’s killer
was sent behind bars else he would have
showed Barrister clement that the SAN at
the end of his name isn’t just a mere fuss.
“can we have the first witness please”
justice okoro spoke to Barrister Briggs.
“The first witness is Paul Adeyemi. If you
are here please come forward” Barrister
briggs called him forward.
A youngman in the same age bracket as
jacobs stood up. He was also very dark. It
seems as if his occupation made him
stand under the scorching sun everyday.
He was tall and well built.
***************************
15th August 2013
Lagos State ministry of information and
communication organized a dinner night.
Mrs. Grace Jacobs being a fluent speaker of
english was chosen to be the anchor of
the programme. As early as 3:00pm that
day, she was already dressed up and was
about to go to the event when her
husband, Olundare Jacobs came in. Jacobs
has been unlucky as a retrenchment
programme of the state government had
caught up with him. Since then, he had
failed to find himself a job so he was
always at home, coupled with the fact that
he had become a vigilante.
“Miss universe. Jacobs complemented his
wife and she just smiled.
Where are you going dressed like this?”
“Darling, you remember that dinner night i
told you about? She paused, waiting for an
answer. Jacobs nodded his head to signify
that he remembered.
The dinner night is slated for today”. She
concluded.
“Thought you just called it a dinner night,
what kind of dinner night starts by
3:00pm” he asked, looking at his wrist
watch.
“You know this is my first time of
anchoring this kind of event, the chairman
of the central planning committee
requested that i should be there by
3:00pm so he can fill me in on how to
proceed with the event. I’m even late” she
narrated.
“so i guess i will just be the only one in
this house. Just make sure you dont move
your lips in those your sexy manner, those
men can be funny atimes”
“i promise, i wont even smile” she said and
laughed away.
10:20PM THAT SAME DAY
Grace walked into the house tired. The
dinner night was a huge success and
everybody attributed the success to her.
She even switched off her phone when
the congratulatory calls where getting too
much.
She trew her bag on the couch and was
about going into the bedroom when the
voice of her husband startled her.
“Where are you coming from?” he asked.
She switched on the light to behold her
husband holding a gun. She was shocked
but then, she remembered that armed
robbers had been giving them sleepless
nights in the street so she thought her
husband being a vigilante had chased
armed robbers that day.
“what are you talking about? I told you i
was attending a dinner night”
“Dinner night!! So which of the directors
did you sleep with or was it the
commisioner himself?” Jacobs accused.
“I dont have time for this, am very tired”
grace said and was about going into the
bedroom when her husband spoke.
“Dont even take another step”.
She turned back and saw her husband
pointing a gun at her. She was shocked.
Her husband had never laid a finger on
her not to talk of pointing a gun at her.
Yes he had lost his Job but that doesn’t
mean he has lost his mind.
“I was in that establishment before you. I
know how it is done. Those big men
choose people to spend the night with. I
gave you the benefit of doubt but you
failed me”
What are you talking about, i never slept
with anyone” Grace shouted.
“Put the gun down” a voice spoke. They
both turned their heads and saw Paul
Adeyemi, pointing a gun at Jacobs.
“We can settle this without…. Kpaa” Grace
was trying to complete her statement but
she was shot. She fell down to the ground.
