Shadows of the Green - Season 2 - Episode 6

☆☆ **************

“…who is the leader of the green?”

“Gori, no one knows… ” he paused and
thought for a while, if he succeeded being
on the good books of Gori, he could
escaped being killed.

“…but.” He continued.

“..but what”

“It was rumored that Sangoyode was the
leader of the green but to me, I think the
leader is a woman…” He dropped the
bombshell.

“A woman?” Gori was getting fed up, he was already fuming.

“Yes… I stumbled into the Green’s strong room a very long time ago, the strong room is where the leader always stays to
communicate with the members. I saw his…
his… It was a she… I know her quite well…”
He started coughing.

“You know her?” Gori asked curiously.

“Y…e…s” he was coughing harder.

“Who is she?” Gori was already on his feet, he knew if he could know who their leader was, then, the battle was over.

“She…” He was still coughing, but now, he was coughing out blood.

“What?” Gori was pacing around the room,
he walked to Yusuf and touched his
forehead, he knew he was going to die. No
one dared the green and its secrets. Gori
brought out a gun, aimed it at Yusuf.

“I beg you in the name of Allah…” He paused as he spat blood. “My children… I’ve two wives… I’ve a mother … and a grandma…

Everyone is looking up to me… Please, spare
me…” He cried, Gori’s heart sank, he lowered the gun.

“Yusuf, see, even if I don’t kill you, you are
definitely going to die. You can’t just leak
out the true identity of the green…” He
stared at Yusuf Mohammed, for the first time
in a while, he felt pity for someone. Oluwo
told him he does not have a heart, how
posiibly could he felt pity for someone. He
moved closer to Yusuf, a look into the poor
man’s eyes, he saw a good man who was
struggling to survive.

“You are a good man, ain’t you?” He asked
as a squatted beside Yusuf.

“I’ve been living all my life in the darkness, I was lured. I never wanted to be a part of
them. It was my favourite daughter, and
now it is me. Gori, spare me… I have alot of
people to live for. My wives are full-house
wives, Gori, please spare me…” Gori stood up.

“If I don’t kill you now, just resign and go
back to your state.” Gori said and
disappeared into the wall.

*****************************************

“Please, Gori, I need to go back to the North.
I’ve spoken with my friend in Abuja and he
had promised to fix me up in the university
of Abuja. As you can see, I have a few years
to retire, Let me go back to somewhere
close to my state…” He begged.

“Yusuf, what will happen to your
membership?”

“In the cooperative? See, forget that one
koh. I’m home sick.”

“Cooperative? I mean as a Sirgreen.”

“Sheybi it is twice a month, I can always
come for the meetings.” He lied.

“Then you have to wait and discuss it with
the members of the green during the next
meeting, you know I’m not the only one
controlling this institution.”
