The Guardians - Season 1 - Episode 96

☆☆********

“What did she just say?”
Quadri asked as he looked
around the room at Kuyi.

Charles was still standing at
the door but had moved a
little to enable him see the
monitor. His movement
caught Kuyi’s eye and he said;
“Charles, you might as well
leave the door. No one is
going to try to hurt her here.

Besides the speech is over”
Ifeoma on the other hand sat
down on a chair in front of
her as she felt a headache that
has been in her head all
through the day but has been
dormant suddenly came up
andthreatened to rip her head
into bits. She held on for some
seconds still looking at the
screen as she watched the
president walk out of the
press conference without
answering any questions
from the press. She walked
out with Kareem, her aide and
some security personnel and
for Ifeoma was filled with
admiration and her faith in
her boss was renewed
“Can someone just answer my
question” Quadri said while
Kuyi walked over to the
controls and turned the
channel to one of a 24 hour
news program. He seemed to
completely ignore Quadri and
he walked towards the
controls to make sure the
volume was at a point which
was alright to leave it and still
maintain conversations in. He
looked towards Quadri who
was looking at the both of
them in a confused state and
said;
“The president just fired all of
us and placed all military
outfits under Ifeoma”

“What do you mean fired us?

Like we are no longer in
charge of our duties?”
“Except she says so, we are
not”

Kuyi walked over to a chair
there, sat down and raised his
legs in the air. He started
somesort of mock whistles as
he played the tune of Fela’s
zombie and at some point
muttered some of the words.

Quadri was still confused. He
looked at the both of them
who were still sitting down
and said;

“Are you both not even
considering that they might
be an attack on wherever it is
they heldthat conference right
now? They might send troops
there to kill her”

“I guess the president saw a
point we did not see” Kuyi
said

“And what will that point be?”

“If we keep her hidden, there
is a risk someone can know
and she can be killed but with
her opening up to everyone,
she does not have to be
hidden to be protected. She
has just fired everyone of the
coup plotters which leaves the
responsibility to the soldiers
themselves to choose who
they want to obey. Buba and
his friends might have lied to
the their junior officers to get
them to move in but now that
we just have to let them know
and they can make a choice
and choose a side.”

“That amounts to nothing
Kuyi and you know it. First of
all, the soldiers don’t probably
know that this proclamation
has been made and secondly,
what makes you think they
even care?”

“Then we make sure they
hear and we make sure they
care/ we make sure they
know the consequences of
what they are doing and that
by the continued occupation,
they are violating the laws of
this countriy and going
against the oaths they have
sworn” Ifeoma said standing
up

Then she looked at Kuyi and
said;
“And why are you sitting
around?”

Kuyi smiled and said;
“Did you not get the memo? I
have been relieved of my
position, no one will obey me
now. you are the boss of all”
“And I am reinstating you as
director so get off your
backside and get to work
Kuyi, I need whatever
defenses we have around the
Palace and I want them now.

Get in touch with the
commandants and the low
ranking officers too and make
them get the point here. Tell
them that their continual
support of whoever is calling
the shots right now will get
them hanged for treason in
the long run”

She looked at Quadri and said;
“There are automated sound
systems within the house. I
want you to send a message
to whoever is in charge of
that and tell him or her that
we need to start broadcasting
that message to everyone in
the house without delay and
oh Kuyi, immediately you have
a sizable number of men, I
want them to marchin on that
house and bring it back to
normalcy”

Quadric was wide eyed and
he said:
“You intend to send men into
Aso Rock for a confrontation?

That might end up in a lot of
damage”
Kuyi said;
“Damages can be fixed. These
people need tobe made an
example of. Where are those
head hunters of yours?”

“Awaiting directives on when
to move in: it will be difficult
for them to do that right now
as there are armed personnel
walking around”
Ifeoma said;
“Don’t tell me that the tunnel
the team used is the only one
you have under that house. I
want every tunnel there filled
with men and ready to move
into the house when we give
the order”

“When you give the order you
mean. But what exactly are
you planning?”

“An all out assault from all
angles” Ifeoma said. She
looked towards Charles and
nodded.
