Story: Legend Of An Ikotun Boy - Season 1 - Episode 13

The prison was dark and smelly as usual… I was sleeping on the floor thinking why I was like this… For a while I was regretting why I par took in the deal… But there’s no use crying over spilled alomo…

Officer akunaka came in and….
“psalm! John! Your time as come to face the wrath of the law…*throws clothes at us* put them on, I’m sure you’ll be needing them”…
I hurriedly put on the cloth … It was a typical prisoners apron… A shapeless jacket + a short nicker… We headed out of the prison…
Then thought of my parents came and tears flowed freely from my eyes… “you are not going to the supreme court na, kpatakpata na expel dem go expel you, y you con dey cry like woman na” Bros D said…. With that said if I could slap him I would, I just dismissed him, afterall he put me in this trouble in the first place…

“CASE 28/4658/2014 of Mr Sam& Mr John burglary claims…” Shouted the jury…

I walked in boldly with John behind me… What I saw send shivers down my spine…
I saw 6senior professors (all those baba with white hair and bear-bear) their stare alone can make you admit you killed abacha…

“Young men can please introduce yourself?” a prof instructed.
“Good day sir, I’m Sam ,200l accounting”
“I’m John 200L accounting”

“you are even my students… So you are charged for burglary and question paper theft, what do you have to say about that”…an Old man said..

I stepped up…Freestyle mode activated ..
“Good day to the Committee once more, sir we are not guilty of what they charged us for… Thanks” I said and sit down.

The committee were suprised at my boldness… They looked at themselves in awe …
“so are you trying to say the security are lying”

“No sir, I answered, they aren’t lying about the house being burgled but us being the burglar would be rather called a mistake rather than a lie”…I said with upmost boldness..

“hmmm!! Objection my lords” officer akunaka shouted from his stand..
“objection overulled”…. Said one of the prof.

“Sir they’ve got no proof that we did it…” I further said…

“its a lie, they both confessed to it in the station”…officer akunaka said
“yes!! We did say we were the ones …but it was out of the torture we received, they were ready to kill us if we didn’t admit to it….”
I paused a lil to let it sink.
“My lord!! Order them to provide evidences and witnesses”…. I said or rather instructed..

“have you got any evidence??” the committee chairman instructed…

“No sir but we’ve got a witness”…. He said

“what’s a witness without an evidence?” ….”you can simply pay or threaten someone to testify in this disciplinary court!!” I objected…

“invited the witness in”… The committee chief instructed…

Officer akunaka looked at me with that crooked smile… I knew he had some shits under his sleeves… But I cared less I knew I had this show on lock or maybe I didn’t

“Sam we don die o” John said pulling my cloth for attention….

I turned around to see who walked in…. Who I saw….made tears drop from my eyes, broke my heart, and made me feel betrayed ..

I saw…………..
