Simbiat: Am so sorry Snakie for all that happened, how did it happen, you look so unkempt

Me: How do you want me to look, this is a prison yard for crying out loud

Simbiat: Am sorry, i had to go and hide for a while as police were so much on the case, the guy that kidnapped you were later arrested by the police in another case, i was so scared they will mention my name, i had to go to our village in Osun to stay for a while pending when my service was through

Me: Hey yah..how is everything now

Simbiat: Am still hiding in fear oo, this is the first time i will be in lagos since i started my service 3 months ago, i decided i must make sure i set my eyes on you, i make my findings and was told you are here, i had to come and check you

Me: You are now serving in Kano…..that is good dear, hope you are enjoying your service?

Simbiat: sincerely there is nothing like being clean, I thank God nobody know my past from that part of the world and i don’t think i will ever be close to Lagos or Benin again for the years to come

Me: everything would have settled down jhoor, whatz up with the hijab

Simbiat: This is how i disguise in this place now not to be caught, i don’t want to leave any chances

Me: That is good

Simbiat: So, where are you on the case now

Me: Have been sentenced to 11 years

Simbiat: Ahhhh…Eleven years ke?

Me: But have filled for appeal and a date has been given for hearing

Simbiat: wow..that is good, am so sorry

Me: No problem dear

Simbiat: But i have something to talk to you about

Me: what is that?

Simbiat: I was actually in your area when the incident happened that day

Me: In which area?

Simbiat: Egbeda?

Me: How did you know my house?

Simbiat: Have you forgotten that we are the one that kidnapped you?

Me: Ohhhh…

Simbiat: Well, we didn’t exchange phone number as you don’t have a phone again that day when i left you, i wanted to keep in touch again, i wanted to talk to you as i couldn’t thank you enough, i feel like talking to you from the following day we departed

I came to your area on Sunday to come and trace you, i first ask of you and i was told you were not back, not quite long i left your compound i saw you coming in with your wife, i couldn’t walk up to you guys so i was waiting for you to come out of the building just to have chance to see you, i waited till people started visiting you here and there but you didn’t come out

At a time, i wanted to come in and ask of you but i remembered what happened with your wife the last time we departed, i don’t want your wife to call attention on me, i left the place to visit one of my old guy in Ipaja.

I came back later in the evening around 7:30pm, waited till like 15minutes but i didn’t see you either, time was going, i decided i was going to call Biola since i still have her number and requested to speak to you and fake that i was one of your colleague from the office, my major aim was to mention my name once she give you the phone, i will greet you and tell you to get my number from her phone.

I checked my phone and i didn’t have enough credit on it, i decided to walk down to the next street to get a card, i dialled Biola’s number when the recharge card seller was still looking for change, all i could hear when she picked my call was get out of my house, get out of my house before i shout thief on you, i thought network diverted it to a wrong number, i called the number again but she wasn’t picking and the number was ringing.

I started trekking back to your street to come and knock on your door no matter how it will be, its late already and i knew hardly will anything happened, i was close to your house when i saw someone drove out in a rush, i sensed something might be wrong..

I waited for like 10minutes after the car left after which i entered your compound, the place was a bit deserted, i walked straight to your flat your door was opened, i walked in and saw blood all over the place. I even walked to your bedroom and saw your bed filled up with blood, i started moving out immediately but something caught my attention on my way outside, i saw this phone (Showed me my wife Samsung phone)
