Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 31
Those were the important events that
happened within the last three years and
now in July 2002, the new Civilian President
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo I inaugurated a
commission to unite Nigeria by creating a
forum where all sectional grievances are
tabled and solutions proffered with the sole
aim of reconciling Nigeria as one, the forum
was called Justice Oputa panel chaired by
Justice Oputa, the father of the controversial
celebrity called Charlie Boy. The panel was
inaugurated in the year 2000. It was in the
heat of this, that Amaka wrote a petition to
the commission on my case with the Army.
The petition was withdrawn by the Army
and sent to the G.O.C to look into the matter
as a matter of urgency. The G.O.C called her
econet wireless mobile line and invited us to
his office the next day. I was to come in my
Army uniform so I starched and ironed my
uniform of over ten years, it had become
very tight when I wore it the next morning
and drove with my wife to Ayo’s salon to cut
my hair. That was the first time Ayo saw me
on uniform and he was shocked, he did not
know my story but I promised to tell him
everything once I am through with the G.O.C.
We drove to meet the G.O.C at 10.00am and
we were ushered into his office upon
arrival, the arrogant stripped faced Soldier
was not on duty but a young Corporal.
The G.O.C and the Colonel G.S (General Staff)
were expecting us; they stood up and shook
hands with Amaka before offering her a
seat. I saluted and stood at ease behind
Amaka.
So what is your story? The G.O.C asked
Amaka immediately she settled into her seat.
Amaka brought out a twenty pages letter
detailing my story and handed two copies to
the G.O.C who then gave one copy to the
Colonel G.S
