Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 13
So where is the Chike now? C.O asked no one in
particular
The Police replied: the so called Chike is a
Criminal! He gave him a fake receipt of purchase
bearing a non existing Lagos address and now he
is nowhere to be found, when we went searching
for him last week he was nowhere to be found
and there are several People bearing the name
Chike in the Spare parts market and this your
Soldier does not even know the Shop of the so
called Chike as he claimed not to have been
there before.
Oh gosh! Oh gosh! Nigeria Police! C.O exclaimed.
This Chike you are talking about may be in this
barrack as I speak with you! He is well known
here! And for the fact that you have brought this
Man here in chains, and it is known that he
bought a stolen Car, then believe you me, Chike
has heard of it! And of course he would escape.
You People should have come here secretly and
together we could have laid ambush and caught
this Guy unaware, we could have told him to
supply us anything and we catch him upon
delivery. Well this is not the first time we are
experiencing such situation in the Barracks: I will
send your letter to the G.O.C, where is the
acknowledgement copy let me sign for you?
The Police man handed over the sealed letter
and the acknowledgement copy to the C.O who
endorsed his signature and returned the signed
copy to the Police man.
I hope you guys get to the root of this matter
quickly so that this young Man can return to
duty, he is a young Man just starting life in the
Army: have you contacted his Bankers to check
the last transactions he made? The C.O asked.
No sir! I don’t think so sir! The Police replied.
Then do so! That will help in your investigation:
are you the O.I.C of the case?
Yes sir! I am the Officer in charge sir! The Police
replied.
Please do your best and don’t let my Boy suffer
in vain or unjustly.
Okay sir! I will do my best sir! The Police said.
So you can take him away! Ojo! I wish you the
best! My C.O said with finality.
I sat on the floor of the C.O’s Office and wept
bitterly, I pleaded with him not to allow the
Police take me away, but he ignored me as the
Police and M.P dragged me out of the C.O’s
Office.
A crowd had gathered in front of the C.O’s
Office, I was pushed into the trunk of the Wagon
and the door booth slammed shut, I poked my
head out from the window and called out to the
Soldiers watching us not to allow Mr. Chike to
escape and allow me to suffer unjustly, I
reminded them that it was the lump sum paid to
me that I used to buy the Car, I reminded all that
cared to listen that private Samuel Yoguda and
Private Onoja Samuel are my Colleagues and
these two bought Cars too. Make una no allow
me to suffer for nothing I yelled in tears as the
car screeched and zoomed away
