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,

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 goo?

Simbiat: So, where are you on the case now

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)
