Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 5

Final episode.

“Where are we going?” Ose asked.

No reply.

“You said we are going to the exporting company, and we keep going deeper into the forest, I demand to know where we are going!

They reached a point where red and white ropes demarcated the road, Solomon brought out a knife and stabbed ose.

Just then, ukachi arrived.

Madam Jessica managed to calm mama uka down, seeing her only daughter, alive, strong and healthy, she succumbed.

“Mama ukachi”, pastor philp called.

“Yes sir”, she answered.

“When last did you speak to your husband? “, He asked , standing up and observing the house

” Three weeks ago” she answered.

Ukachi’s phone ranged, but she hung up to avoid any distraction, then her fingers mistakenly pressed the radio on.

“A notorious ritual criminal is on the loose, his name is…

Ukachi turned it off immediately, “sorry” she apologized.

“In the radio, check”, the voice pastor philp heard, while in the hospital flashed back to him.

“Turn on the radio, quick,” he demanded

Ukachi’s hand began to fidget while switching on the radio

“For adverts, call…

” Hold on, ” said madam Jessica

They all looked at her

” When I came to buy some food stuffs from nne uka three days ago, I noticed something strange about the new watchman, “mama uka got interested this time, ” for some reason my purse fell off from my tightly tied wrapper, when I bent down to pick it up, my eyes went straight to where oga solo was sitted, he had suddenly disappeared but when I raised up my head he reappeared”.

” Can we go to your shop?” Pastor philp asked.

They all choroused yes.

When they got to the market, once again pastor philp began to have the strange feeling,he felt goose bums all over his body.

They arrived at mama uka’s shop, pastor philp met eye balls to eye balls with oga solo.

Suddenly,oga solo stood up from the chair his butt was glued to, others looked at him,all they could see was oga solo standing and staring at pastor philp,they wondered why?

To pastor philp, when he looked at oga solo,he saw mr ose covered in blood and crying for vengeance, he shooked his head and began to plead the blood of Jesus, the puzzle had finally been solved, the voice he heard at the hospital, mama uka’s husband knew she wouldn’t pay attention to anything strange, that’s why he tried tell her friend, but she was too scared to say anything, pastor philp recognized Mr ose from the photos in mama uka living room.

But who could have killed him and why did they kill him, they are obviously the same people that took away osas speech and senses.

Pastor philp told mama uka to open her shop, although she wasn’t in the mood to sell anything, she still opened it anyways, she brought out chairs including the VIPs.

This time pastor philp sat down on the VIPs, madam Jessica hanged herself in a corner because she wouldn’t sit on any chair if not the VIP and also she was avoiding looking at oga solo.

Just then,a woman came in

“Do you have white garri?” The woman asked

” Yes,how much do you want?” Ukachi answered

” One paint”, she replied as she turned to look around the market,it was her first time in papara market, her eyes met with oga solo who was still standing, she cleaned her eyes and looked away and looked at him again.

“Obi`m, papa kachi”, she called, going closer to him, madam Jessica went inside the shop, she was a very scared woman.

The woman held oga solo, ” my husband, what are you doing here,” oga solo didn’t reply

She looked around, ” what have you done to him, why is he standing like a statue?”

People began to gather around them, wondering how such a beautiful and high class lady could be married to such a man.

The woman began to cry, begging oga solo to talk to her.

Every body found it strange, except for pastor philp who finally spilled the beans, “mama ukachi, honestly over five years I have been a man of God, this is my first time of experiencing such a situation”

Every body was eager to finally hear what pastor philp had to say because since he arrived he had not prayed, he was either pleading the blood of Jesus or asking questions like a detective, he didn’t even speak in tongues.

” This situation” pastor philp continued, ” is something I want to all of you to take easy,mama uka” he called, she focused on him

” I perceived in my spirit that your husband is dead”

” Godforbid!” Mama uka rebuked.

Pastor philp pointed at oga solo, ” your husband spirit is inside that body”

“JESUS!”, Osas exclaimed, they all looked at him as he began to speak again, mama uka was happy sad at the moment, her son was well again and the pastor is telling her about her husband death.

Some guys came into the market with police men, and walked straight to oga solo.

“This is the man in the picture” one of the guys said.

Immediately,Mr ose spirit left oga Solo’s body.

Oga solo regained himself again,”where am I?”

He asked.

“Are you Mr Solomon ebele?” One of the police men asked

” Yes I am”, he fearfully answered

“I am inspector William, and you are under arrest for the murder and ritual killing of one Mr ose Jackson, you have the right to remain silent or whatever you say or do will be used against you in the court of law, take him away!”

On hearing this mama uka screamed and fainted, ukachi began to cry and shout, osas removed a knife to stab oga solo but pastor philp held him back, “vengeance is left unto God,my boy don’t spoil your future, your father wouldn’t want it, osas broke down in tears.

Ose had left the premises, pastor philp felt it.

Oga solo confessed, that he tricked ose into following him for a business trip so he could use him for rituals, the dibia had asked for the head of one of his friends. He was later sentenced to death by hanging,his wife died two days after his death.

When mama uka woke up, she was advised to take her and her children to another city in order to heal.
