Tarasha - Season 5 - Episode 77

The door opened gently and the assistant walked in. He was sweating, his shirt was soaked with sweat at the chest region.
‘Sir, we have a new problem.’ He said in a trembling voice.
‘What new problem?’
‘I just finished listening to the news at 12, I heard that Samantha Osman has released a new article about u… about you,’ the assistant answered, stammering as he got to the end.
‘What did she say?’ Chief Elvis Richards asked, really anxious to find out what new thing Samantha Osman had written about him.
‘Sir, I think it’s best you read it. I can’t explain it,’ he replied.
‘Get me my tab,’ Chief Elvis Richards said, pointing him to a table where the tablet device was.
The assistant hurried to the place to get the device, he handed it to the man and stood aside.
Chief Elvis unlocked the tab, he opened the browser and placed the cursor on the navigation bar. ‘What’s her website URL again?’
‘ Samanthaosman .com.’
He typed it into the navigation bar and clicked send. It loaded in fifteen seconds. The first thing he saw was the featured blog post, the title read; ‘Nigeria’s Vice President kidnaps sick woman from Special Care Centre and kidnaps her family.’
Elvis Richards immediately began to sweat. His hands began to tremble but he managed to keep the tab in his hands. He clicked on the link and the page loaded.


‘A Special Centre for sick and old women in Ikoyi was reported to have been attacked last night by unknown hoodlums who injured four men and killed one security man and then left the place with a sick woman named Atinuke George.

The Samantha Osman team have made enough research and discovered that the Hoodlums are not unknown, in truth, the gang leader of the hoodlums is none other than Vice President Elvis Richards. Elvis Richards sent his men to take the woman from the place as she holds some of his very dirty secrets that he wants to hide.
Before kidnapping the woman, Elvis Richards first made sure that the only surviving family member of the sick woman, who is her daughter and popular SWAD National Leader Stephanie George and her guardian were first kidnapped from their residence in Abuja. He killed some men around the area to cover up the kidnap as a murder case. More details to prove this accusations would be released soon, subscribe to this blog.’
He heaved a sigh of frustration after reading, Samantha Osman was now playing his own games against him. Everything just seemed to be going wrong with him. He dropped the tab beside him and buried his face in his palms for some minutes.
‘I need to go on social media to refute these claims right now,’ he said as he raised up his head and picked the tab again.
‘Sir, why don’t you wait to hear from one of the advisers?’ his assistant suggested.
‘No, this has to be done quickly.’ Elvis Richards replied.
He logged on to his twitter account and typed in a tweet;
‘My attention was brought to a recent post made by Samantha Osman on her blog. It amazes me how low some enemies can go just to demean and spoil the name of others.
I know that this can only be the job of those who do not want the progress of Nigeria. They are trying by all means to make sure I do not get to the top and take the country forward.
I urge you all to be calm and disregard the post and other false messages that may be in circulation. They hold no water because they cannot be proven to be true. Please, avoid sharing these messages as they are false and ridiculous.’



He posted on twitter first in a series of tweets and then copied all together to post on Facebook and also on the youngicee social platform. He dropped his device after making all the posts and buried his face in his palms again. He felt his head ache, he could also feel his skin hot. The news seemed to have returned the sickness to his body. He managed to look up and reach for his phone. He flashed a glance at his assistant who was still standing before him.
‘Please leave me alone,’ he said, partially in anger and frustration.
‘Are you okay sir?’ the assistant asked, noticing his weak movements.
‘Just leave me, I would call you when I need you.’
The assistant bowed slightly and took his leave.


Chief Elvis opened his call register and dialed Rex’s number again.
It began to ring and shockingly this time, it was answered.
‘Rex, where are you and what is happening?’ he asked in a shaky voice.
The receiver of the call replied with a chuckle before speaking. ‘Hello Elvis Richards.’
He took the phone off his ears to see if he had dialed the wrong number, it was a lady’s voice he heard. He placed the phone close to his ears again after confirming that he didn’t dial the wrong number.
‘Who am I speaking with? I want to speak with Rex.’
‘You are speaking with Samantha Osman,’ the voice replied. ‘I have Rex with me, he’s been captured and he is undergoing torture.’


Her words hit Elvis Richards like a big hammer on the head. His heart began to beat abnormally fast and his bladder suddenly got full.
‘Arrange your home man, you have a few days to live. You’d die after the whole world knows your dirty secrets.’
He slowly and shakily took down the phone from his ears. His hands and lips continued to vibrate. He felt hot and weak all over. His fever seemed to have suddenly increased. He felt his eyes closing, he struggled to keep them open but he could not. His body felt too weak to remain sitting. He tried to open his mouth to call out for help but collapsed to the ground.
‘How many times has he called before?’ Tarasha asked one of the new assassins who had been given Rex’s phone to monitor.
‘He’s called about fourteen times today alone,’ the guy replied her.
Tarasha chuckled and handed the phone back to him. ‘He’s not going to call again, at least not so soon.’
She and Cole had returned to the other facility where Rex and their other prisoners were kept. Rex and Tobi were still tied and left without food in the white room while Stainless was still sleeping from the effect of the drug he was administered.
‘Boss,’ Cole called as he entered into the room Tarasha was in with the third man. Tarasha stared at his face. ‘Stainless isn’t awake yet, should we wake him up?’
‘No, let’s wait until he wakes up.’
‘Okay boss,’ Cole replied.
‘I read some minutes ago that Elvis Richards has denied the allegations.’
‘Yes boss, I read it too.’
‘I want you to download the NSCC footages which show that his assistant and some of his guards visited the Care Center few days ago.’

‘I’ll do that right away boss,’ Cole replied and turned to leave immediately.
