................one Bloody Monday.......................... by soughtout2013(m): 9:22am On Jun 26, 2015
Tick! Tock! The alarm on Ade's Lumia sounded continuously. 'It's 6:30 am' ade shouted as he jumped from his succulent bed been made by mouka foam with the best materials. With a short on, he quickly ran into the bathroom and stepped into the bathup forgetting the fact that his towel was left in the bedroom. Holy shit! He shouted as he hurriedly went to pick up the body cleaner from his room. With 30 seconds of brushing the teeth, and 3 minutes of bathing, he went straight to his wardrobe to pick up a white long sleeve, a bolt tie and a black trousers. After completely dressing up the body, he remembered his socks were dirty but had no choice than to put it on. Who cares! Under his bed where he kept all sort of shoes, he brought out the versace shoe he bought for fifteen thousand naira the last time he went to Abuja.

He was about leaving his apartment when a thought came to him about getting married ' hmmm, kunle is married with 3 children, bukky is married with 2 children, even wale who is our last born just got married last month, when will I get married? Well I don't want to rush as my miss right will come when she's ready' he murmured in his mind. Gam! The door sounded as he penetrated the key into the gam lock of the door and went off to take a bike to the well known Oshodi park.

Ade sobanjo, a 28 years old, indigene of Osun state, graduate of Obafemi Awolowo University, Accountancy. He graduated from O.A.U in 1996, immediately after his graduation, he went for NYSC in Edo state. Born into a family of six which included Mr Sobanjo, Mrs Sobanjo, Ade, Kunle, Bukky, Wale and Tinuke. Ade works with a giant mobile telecommunication company MTN Nigeria as the sales manager. Life has been so lovely and interesting for Sobanjo family because everyone in the family is into one occupation or the other. Ade has been sat down times without number by his parents to bring home a wife that will bear him children as age is not on their side. One of the meeting his parents had with him led to him leaving the home to rent an apartment around Olorunshogo axis of Lagos state because he felt his peace was disturbed.

He got to oshodi at 7:30 am, paid the bike man a sum of hundred naira and went ahead to the upper aspect of the bridge to board a bus going to Eko as his company is located close to the Onikan museum. Eko! Eko! Eko! Shouted the conductor as passengers hustled to make way into the commercial bus. ' Eko na 200 naira ooooo! Change no dey oooo' shouted the conductor as some passengers were hissing and abusing the illetrate conductor. After collecting his money and giving out change to passengers, the journey to Lagos started as some passengers were busy with their phones, some were busy gisting and chatting with other passengers but to Ade who was pretty late for work, he kept mute and remained focused to getting to work in time. Shortly, everyone started sleeping as the air started trooping into the bus via the windows, quite interesting but wasn't a nice one per say.

In a thick forest of different sounds been made by wild and weird animals, Ade and other passengers woke up hours later in it. Their hands were fully tied to different logs as they started screaming. Idea was lost as to the location of the forest. Light was provided through the aid of burning fire woods. They all became scared as no one was there to give reply regarding who brought them there and what business is been performed there. To Ade, it looked like a horror film he watched back then when he was in secondary school where a particular set of students were killed in a forest by ritualist and finally here comes four huge men and a a dwarf ritualist. Immediately he flashed back to his just remembered horror film. The huge men were putting on red and black accompanied with sun shade and also holding a cutlass. The most surprising aspect is the dwarf ritualist who is also on red and black, having a double cheeked tribal mark, a wig on his head and also a mace like staff by his right hand. This time around it was time for serious business.

Everyone started praying in their different languages including Ade. Its true that only the person putting on a shoe knows where it pains and also that people tend to know that God exist when temptation shows up. That is what their case has turned out to be. Suddenly the ritualist started placing an enchanted horn on their respective heads and made some incantations. He enchanted the first person and told one of the men to cut off the head and the private parts of the woman. In deep fear, others started crying and shouting as the first person was beheaded and her parts been amputated and cut off. The ritualist moved to the next person, enchanted him and also removal of his eyes, tongue, nipples and private organ. The weeping became unstoppable as all hope were lost to others in the jungle. It was just as if a rescue team could burst in and save them. The third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh victims were beheaded and not only beheaded but their hearts and livers were also removed.

Three more passengers to go including ade, the man enchanted ade and ordered for the hacking of his head, nipples and liver. As the man was about cutting it off, Ade shouted 'wait! Let me ask for forgiveness from God before murdering me', he then closed his eyes and started gesticulating. 'Behead him' shouted the ritualist. The cutlass was raised but suddenly gun shots were heard from a close range. The shots kept on coming continuously, 'stop there' said a police officer as they try to take to their heels, two of the kidnappers were shot dead while the remaining maintained their position. ' Drop the cutlass and place your hands on your head' said another police officer. ' Na una be pple wey dey kidnap and kill innocent pple for money rituals. God don catch una today' said another police officer. 'Garuba' said a senior officer, 'sir' answered officer garuba, ' untie these victims and handcuff these evil people' said the superior police office oficer. The hacked human parts were snapped and a rescue team was called in to check on the victims.

While in the hospital, Ade told his experience of the bloody monday he witnessed to his family members who sat close to him on the bed. 'What a bloody monday' he said while shaking his head dramatically.
