Smart? At this hour of the night? Joeman thought. He wasn’t comfortable with the information he just gathered. He walked to Papa Victor and Eunice’s father and told them that he saw one of those thieves that stole from them in the uncompleted building closed to the yard.

The men grieved by what they suffered last time in the hands of the thieves, gingerly followed him. He led them quietly to were Smart normally sat and saw the chair empty

“ah ah, why Smart no…” Victor’s father said loudly “ssshhh!” Joeman hushed him.

They tiptoed quietly to the other uncompleted building that is inside, overhearing what was happening inside the uncompleted building. They sneak quietly into the building and arrived at the particular room Smart and Temi is.

“Chicken nyash don open” Eunice’s father said.

“So, na wetin you dey do?” Victor’s father asked Smart.

“You go suffer today, Smart” Joeman said angrily.

Smart immediately tucked his flaccid d—k inside his short and jumped through the window, three of them went after him “thief ooh!” Joeman shouted in other to get people to run after Smart.

They held their sticks gingerly and ran after Smart who disappeared in the dark, others who came to get Smart couldn’t get him.

Smart out ran them, he ran to the church the pastor has told him to come see him the other time. The church wasn’t locked so he went inside and slept off.

The next morning he woke up feeling pains all over his body ’cause he has slept on a bench. He stayed inside not wanting to be seen,

the pastor came to the church that day as directed by the Holy spirit.

“Brother Smart?” He asked surprise by the dejected nature he finds Smart,

“yes, Pastor. Please help me!” Smart begged kneeling down.

The pastor helped him up “this isn’t the battle of flesh and blood but as thus says the spirit, you have been held in captive by the devil” the pastor told smart who looked around if he could see fetters around him.

“Isn’t a physical captivity, brother Smart, do you know an old woman in your life that you did something grievous and she cursed you?” He asked Smart who looks confused. The pastor urged him to think.

“Old woman!”

Eighteen years ago, Smart returned from his shop in the night. Smart had work all day, he has sworn never to help any human being ’cause nobody helped him when he needed it.

The footpath was bushy at the both sides, “help me!” A voice of old woman aired from the bush as Smart jumped in freight. Her weak voice kept on calling for help, Smart tiptoed slowly and saw her, he hissed angrily.

“H..e..lp me” her trembling voice asked for help again, Smart laughed loudly.

“Help fire, you don too old, do die. Why thief no kill you sef?” Smart asked and laughed chanting for the woman to die,

“all your money go end for woman both legs, the manhood wey you get. Go be your greatest curse” the woman cursed and gave up the ghost.

Thunder started rumbling and it rain making Smart to run home under the crying dome of the sky.

Smart narrated as tears roll down his cheeks, “I don die!” He exclaimed crying loudly.

“Hold yourself brother, Jesus came for sinners, he has sent me to redeem you, you will be free. Let’s pray” the pastor told smart who sat on the floor. They held hands and prayed, after sometimes they opened their eyes as they responded “Amen” to their prayer.

“We are ask to pay last respect to the old woman before the curse will be uplifted” the pastor said to Smart, who agreed.

He stood up with his car keys and Smart followed behind, they entered his car and drove out of the compound.

After several hours of driving and asking for direction from the holy spirit, they arrived in a thatch house that is deserted completely.

Smart and the pastor stood before the grave side and he instructed Smart to speak, Smart went on his kneels and took a handful sand heap on the grave “mama!” He choked in tears.

He pleaded immensely before the ghost of the woman appeared, she walked to Smart who was crying and tapped him on the shoulder. An ugly spirit left him and followed the ghost of the old woman to the grave as they both disappeared.

The pastor helped remorseful Smart up and they both went to his car and drove off, they arrived in the church.

“what should I do next pastor?” Smart asked impatiently amazed by the current state of affairs he find himself.

“Surrender yourself to the police” the pastor instructed Smart, who did what he asked him of.
