Two weeks later, Mike and five of his gang were in court again for case number two. After the usual court protocols, the case was read by the court clerk.

CASE NUMBER 667.B.

MIKE VRS THE STATE

The case was read;

Mike Ebuke and his gang had engaged in several human Rights Abuses like beating and torturing people, forcing people to sign forms, using ladies to trap men in order to extort money from them.

***

Mike and his gang were made to swear under oath as they stood in the witness box.They were asked if the allegation levied against them were true. They remained silent.

Several witnesses were called to testify against the gang members.Persephony’s father James testified that he was tricked on his way home by a girl who masqueraded as a prostitute. Upon reaching home with her, a gang came in, beat him and pulled a gun on his head to sign a pledge form.

The state lawyer crossed examined him and he left.The second witness made the court laughed. His name was Dickson. He said His di^k was sliced by Zelda his step daughter who was advised by the Tac gang to do such a wicked thing to him because Zelda lied against him that he raped her.He said he survived by divine grace.

The next witness was Donald.

He said his nephew Flexion made the Tat gang invade his house at night to steal his essential house documents. He claimed he called the police but the Tat team brought in a magician (pointing at Tabuki) who caused the team members to vanish.

The last witness was Sabina. She claimed the Tat-team caught and tortured her. She said it was not only physical torture but emotional and psychological torture. In her testimony, she gave graphic description of how she was sexually abused by Mike and his thugs. She said they held her Vag**na while she was hanged with a rope attached to a curve rope. She claimed one of the ‘Tat gangs told her she was beautiful beneath.

The crowd at the court began to laugh but the court clerk shouted

“Order! order in court!”

The state attorney cross – examined what Sabina said. After that she was allowed to go.The court reporter sat near the witness stand in the courtroom and recorded everything that was said during the trial or introduced into evidence by typing it on a stenographic machine.

The case was adjoined for a few minutes. The jury decided the facts in the case, and applied the law on which the judge has instructed it.

Then the court reconvene.

There was silence at the court.The judge was allowed to give his verdict. Investigation has been done thoroughly and we have had enough evidence which can help us take a stand on this issue.

VERDICT : Having considered all the statements and evidences put before me carefully, I hereby, concluded that Mr. Ebuke Mike and his Five gangsters are guilty of all the charges levelled against them ranging from murder to torture to Assault. I hereby declare them GUILTY as charged and they are sentenced to DEATH BY SHOOTING!

Cassandra stood up and said to the Judge, ” add me to them. I’m Mike’s girlfriend.”

The Judge looked at her in dismay.

She hardened herself. The police took her out of the court.Some people in the crowd began to shear tears on our behalf.

They were surprised Mike and his gang were not crying.

There was a huge jubilation in the court room on the side of Zolabin’s family, lawyer and friends while

Lawyer Okeke George and Toby Ryan and his family were angry.They left immediately after the verdict

Court Clerk :Silence in court.!!

Suddenly , there was silence.

Court Clerk :Court rise!

Mike and his men,thunder, Flexion, Tabuki, Bellona and Deianira were handcuffed and led to the police Van. He thought they will be led straight to the firing squad but they were led to a prison.

[Mike’s Point of view ]

–Three days later–

GET READY TO DIE TODAY !!!”, I was told by a prison officer. Today is the D-Day for you. A Few minutes later we were led from the Lagos Maximum Security Prison towards the Firing Squad.

I looked at my Tat Team and said “Comrades, I’m proud of you all. Even if we die today, we die as HEROES OF THE TAT TEAM.

Along the way we gazed at the trees and the sky. Probably for the last time before we join our ancestors.

When I was contemplating on what lies ahead of us, the bus stopped for a few minutes.

Then we continued the journey to our death. Few minutes later we were at a large pack. The media was all over us trying to question us on why we did what we were accused of but we didn’t give them any answers.

The police men dragged us to the far end of the pack and tied us to planks, closed to very big sacs.

I rolled my eyes at the crowd and saw people crying and others taking pictures and laughing at us.

I saw Cassandra. She was rolling on the ground crying without control. Seeing her in that mood made me sad and a tear dropped from my eye.

Then I saw Zolabin. He was laugh

ing uncontrollably. He knew His arc enemy had been defeated at last. He held a camera. I guess he was taking pictures of us to put down as a remembrance of the day his arc enemy met his Waterloo.

A pastor walked to us at where I and my ‘tac members were tied up.

“Say your last prayers and make things right before God,” he said

We closed our eyes and began to pray.

“God forgive me of my sins and protect my soul.Protect my Sister and make my enemies pay for their sins even after I’m gone.

I opened my eyes and darkness was everywhere. I realized the police have covered our heads with sacks.!!!

My heart was thumping. Cold shivers ran down my spine. My knees wobbled and sweats broke down my skin. I could hear the loud thumping sound of my heart

“GBO,GBO,GBO,GBU,GBU,GBU…..”

I closed my eyes waiting to die.

Before I realized I head the command

” FIRREEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Followed by BANG,!BANG!!BANG!!

I screamed, Awwwwee,God,ayeeeeiii
