The Activist - Season 2 - Episode 9

☆☆☆☆☆

“Abeg, push that thing go corner!” Rachael said, ignoring Kafayat’s advice. The two ladies kept talking but Rachael was no longer comfortable with the talk, so she quickly excused herself and left for her hostel.
Later at night, Rachael was reading at the department of Dramatic Arts when three girls walked in on her, wearing black bum shots and black tops.

“Stand up, you bi.tch!” One ugly,thin lady with two visible scars on her face. Stand up!
Rachael eyed the fair-skinned monster and wanted to deliver a slap at her, but decided against it considering the other two ladies. She was also aware of the weapons they carried; two long knifes were in the hands of the other ladies, while she had a gun pointed at her back. So she followed them quietly until they got outside the Department, where Wande was waiting for them.
“So this is where you hid, idiot!” She sneered, poking Rachael in the eye. The other two girls were laughing.

“Who hides from a weakling like you?” Rachael asked, which elicited a slap on her b-----s by another of the ladies, this time a fair and big breasted lady with recognizable dimples and a far better facial features than the first one. She howled in pain, which brought about two more slaps.

Wande turned towards her, eyes bloodshot. “Take this a-----e away and meet me at our meeting point!”

As she turned, three buses stopped right in front of them, with students coming out in their numbers.

They were surrounded!

[]Wande looked at them, anger rising up in her heart. “Who be una? Wetin una dey find here? Who send una here?” The angry students were chanting anti-cult songs but had not made an attempt to rescue Rachael. The other ladies had joined Wande in front, leaving Rachael at the back.

“E be like say una wan die abi? Comot road for me! If una no comot road eh….. “She had not finished talking when one of them pulled out a pistol and shot in the air, an action which sent students scampering away to safety.
“Lizzy, what’s the meaning of that?” Wande asked, obviously disappointed at her action.
“Capone, no vex, I wan make dem sabi who be oga for here. Make them……”

Whack! A slap automatically transferred itself to Lizzy from Wande.
“Idiot! You sabi say you don wake the whole school, fool!” Wande spat out. “Eyin babes, make we carry…….” She turned back and met no one.

“Where she go? Lizzy, Bimpe, Bukky, where did the meat go? Argh!” She went about slapping the subordinates on their b-----s, an act they received with heads bowed down.
Rachael had used the opportunity of the commotion which the gun shot created to escape back to Dramatic Arts. Once in there, she picked her phone and dialed some numbers.
Wande looked at all of them and was thinking of handing another beating when she suddenly thought otherwise.

“Oya, make we dey waka comot before….” Her statement was cut short again, this time by the presence of a totally different set of guys.
“Girls, make we show them wetin we carry come!” Wande gave orders but before they could do anything, they were dispossessed of their weapons by the guys. The guys then hauled them into the bus they came with
Wande could not see well in the ensuring darkness, so she did not notice Tade looking from the back of the crowd.

Wande was soon taken to ‘Floor O’, a guard room used by the university to keep those that committed heavy crimes. With her were Abiodun, the chief security officer of the Students Union, Rachael, Williams, a student activist and Tade.

As Wande started to answer the barrage of questions asked, Tade looked at her, still unable to come to terms with her transformation. As he was at the back, Wande had no sight of him, yet he felt tense. How come is it that Shade knew that much about her? He had planned on questioning her about her relationship with Shade, yet the opportune time eluded him.

He decided to go out and get some fresh air, but as he started to walk away, Williams stopped him.

“Tade, wait for them to finish before you leave.” Williams advised rather loudly. Everyone looked at their direction in a rather rude manner.
In that moment, Wande’s eyes met that of Tade.

Dotun looked at his watch and smiled. Unlike many of his peers, he did not care about watch brands. He just wanted a watch that could tell time. At ten am, he was at optimum strength and vitality.

But that was not the point, for today, far away from that near death experience, something is going to happen.

The Russian Prime Minister will die!

He checked out his sniper, neatly dismantled and arranged in a guitar, which was in its case. This series of sniper rifles were most recently procured by him. A recent series, they gave him a better range and therefore he could spot the Dome, which is in Garki, from this hotel in Suleja, though the elevation of the building in Suleja also played a key role.

He walked to the elevator, entered it and pressed the top floor. As he was transported from his floor to the top floor, he noticed two minute cameras inside.

So this place is monitored. He said to himself smiling. He also saw two used packets of condom and grinned, wondering who got smashed in the elevator.

Before he could recover from his reverie, the elevator had reached its destination, so he stepped off it in high spirits. Despite his state of elation, he still noticed the level of security, which was unusually high. Did the government spread their tentacles to this area?

He greeted the officers around and after explaining about the guitar, he was allowed to get to the roof with two officers escorting him.
Once they reached the roof, the two officers moved ahead of Dotun.

That was a fatal mistake, as Dotun dropped them with silenced pistols. Once that was accomplished, he walked straight to the vantage point he chose, taking down two other officers on the roof. He quickly set his sniper and waited.
Waited for the right moment.

While Dotun was far away from the Dome, Sunday was actually in the Dome, disguised as a security officer. As soon as the President of Nigeria and Russian Prime Minister came on the podium to speak, Sunday excused himself and went to the toilet.

Once in the toilet, he removed some tiles in there and brought out his sniper and two hand held pistols. He quickly dismantled the sniper and moved out, heading to the left wing of the Dome. Once he reached there, he quickly killed everyone within a two meter radius, set his sniper in position and fired.
At the same moment, Dotun’s bullet was flying all the way from Suleja to the Dome, with the two bullets hitting their targets on the head!
