DAKOLO’S RESIDENCE
Inspector Dakolo was seated in his living room with James, both discussing about the recent news of the Inspector General’s kidnap.
‘Could the kidnapper be Samantha Osman?’ Dakolo said, more like thinking aloud to himself even though James was in the room with him.
‘I don’t know what to think,’ James replied. ‘There has been reports of her kidnapping people recently and I’m scared this might be one of them, she ends up killing them after the kidnap.’

‘Are you talking in reference to that of Senator Garuba and the former Health Minister?’
‘Yes.’

Dakolo paused and stared thinly for a moment. ‘The two victims were killed in those cases.’

‘Yes.’
‘Hmm,’ Dakolo shook his head. ‘So does that mean the Inspector General will be killed soon?’

James also pondered on the situation for a while. ‘No one can tell. But if the kidnappers of the previous two guys are the same with this, then it may have the same outcome.’
‘But this is not right,’ Dakolo said in anger and sprang up to his feet. ‘Someone is toying with the nation’s security. If the country’s Inspector General of Police can be kidnapped, then it means nobody else is safe.’

There was a brief moment of silence.
‘The man was only with two escorts that morning,’ James said, lifting his gaze to Dakolo’s face. ‘I heard that he’s been going to the hospital like they for a couple of weeks now.’

‘There’s actually no problem with that. What I’m really bothered about is the boldness of the person in plotting and executing the kidnap and the inability of the Inspector General and his escorts to foresee a possible attack.’

‘Well, it has happened already. The onus is on us now to make sure the man is recovered safe and sound and as soon as possible.’

‘Which of the agents are in charge of the case?’

‘My team should be, even though I’m yet to receive any directive concerning that. But since it’s a Samantha Osman related case, my team has to be involved. I believe I would get a call from the team leader soon, Agent Tim.’
‘So nothing has been done yet?’
‘Something should have been done.’
‘I heard that a number of the DIGs and AIGs met in the Headquarters earlier this evening.’
‘And what is the result of their meeting?’
‘I don’t know, I’m not sure they’re even done yet.’

‘What about the last two victims? Haven’t you made any investigations on them?’

‘The cases happened outside our territory, and like it should be, other officers carried out the investigations. The reports we’ve gotten so far hasn’t been too bad, Samantha did a clean murder in Eze Okafor’s case except that she made it obvious she was the killer but for Senator Garuba Ahmed’s case, we’re tracing the ID cards already and we would get a complete result after the trace.’

‘What about the other guys she works with, is there nothing that shows their real identities?’
‘Nothing for her members were found in Kwara state and Anambra.’

‘Hmm… Okay,’ Dakolo said and sat back on the chair. He relaxed for half a minute before he began to talk again. ‘So what about your sister, how is she doing now?’

James frowned a bit but tried to hide it, he didn’t like the change in the subject of discussion. ‘She’s fine now.’
‘Did she tell you what happened to her?’ Dakolo asked.

‘No, she didn’t. My Dad has convinced her to keep quiet,’ James replied.

‘But what about you? What do you think it could be?’

He shrugged in a tired manner and shook his head ‘I don’t know.’
‘But you’re the elder brother, I believe you should be able to deduce somethings without being told except you never lived with your family.’

‘I did, but these matters are complicated, you can’t make a conclusion.’

‘Well, if making a conclusion is the challenge, it means you already have some thoughts in your mind.’

‘Yes,’ James sighed uncomfortably. ‘I do think it’s something serious and connected to my father.’

‘Is that all?’ Dakolo asked, raising his brow, he didn’t expect such a vague answer.
‘Yes, I know a lot of things are still being hidden from me but I’m sure I’ll discover them soon.’

‘Yes, I believe we will discover a lot soon. It’s getting tougher and I’ve decided to put in more efforts. I’m going to get to the root of the matter and make sure I clear my name.’ Dakolo said in a determined voice.

James just stared at him in silence. His father’s name and reputation was at stake, so was his. He knew he might have to turn against Dakolo if the man goes far and takes steps that may hurt his father and the family.
