Story: Legend Of An Ikotun Boy - Season 1 - Episode 10

We met at an eatery… To discuss about the plan and our profit… We decided to strike on a Friday night..when they’ll have left the office for the mosque or their homes..

The day came faster than expected… We met in a lecture theatre as planned…
“Guy now is the time o”… I said
“Dude make we pray”… John advised..
‘Shio pray?? Shey u think say God go look ur side?’… I’m a realist I always face the truth, whether ugly or beautiful…so praying in a scenario like this is a waste of time..
Well it seems God was against us…cos we left traces(mistakes) here nd there..

We Broke in, we didn’t get a key… I’m sure the security man should have been alerted by that…
Well we raided a couple of offices successfully gathering our merchandise…

But if God be against you who’ll be for you… The security ma eventually came looking for us…
“who goes there”? He asked..
“who goes there?” He asked for the second time..

On hearing this we were scared to death, we never planned of getting busted (atleast if we did we would have known what to do by now)..
The security man started raiding every office opened… There’s 8 offices in that building…8 different lecturers’ office ..

I must say the security man was a smart one… Cos he knew we would start from the top floor incase of any danger… He checked the groundfloor’s office to be sure of his theory and it was confirmed…the ground floor’s offices were untouched….

We were hearing footsteps climbing the stairs…
I whistled to alert John, but the slow’poke didn’t get my signal..
…The Footsteps were getting closer, I had to run into the office from the door post that I was..
“John…E don be o…the security is coming after us” …
He hurriedly carried the Questions…and darted for the exit…

The security man hearing loud footsteps upstairs ran after us…it was a hot chase… We ran to the top floor..I was leading while John was following.. He was right behind us… Shooting after us!!
“John get down–get down!!” I shouted
as I threw a flower vase at him…which he shot to pieces…We were so scared, but we dare not stop running…we saw another door leading somewhere we weren’t sure of where it was leading us to but we just had to keep moving …Behold, the door led to the roof…the roof is decked…. He ran to the far corner, while he also followed us…

“Hands Up!!, stop there Or I shoot!!”
We had no choice but to stop where we were!!
We were busted or so I thought.
“na una dey theif things for this building abi?? Na una wan make me lose my job abi??…Thank God say I don catch una!! He said smiling…

He pointed a Torch to our face…but we were wearing a clothed mask…
“oya remove the mask…” he ordered…
