Chid came as usual, one of his regular visits, when he wanted to go, i decided to see him off,, we were discussing while walking. Suddenly we heard gunshots, i was stunned and scared at the same time, by this time everybody started running helter skelter trying to take cover, flying bullets where just everywhere, it was looking like thieves fighting with the police with gunshots exchanging bullets. I and chidi also tried to take cover, then i noticed a bullet coming towards my chest, i wasnt fast to dodge suddenly chidi covered me with his body tring to avoid the bullet from hitting me when the bullet suddenly hit his back. I was stunned, i didnt know what happened, chidi slowly fell from my arms, he was in a pool of blood, i couldnt cry i was just blank. In no time the fuse stopped as people ran towards us, they helped me in carrying chidi to a near by hospital, i took his phone and called his mum, 20 minutes later, she was already in the hospital, docrtors were attending to chidi already
