Hmmmmm!

After much investigations on this issue,Here are my observations


Like i have always said, STEVE is NOT the Devil(i may be wrong). The below extract from the last episode made me believe that Steve was inside with Amara while Osi watched them from a hidden spot,the below extract backs it up[b]"I was thinking we should stay on the bench under the tree...its windy and more comfortable" she offered "Really? I would have preferred inside(the house)"[/b]

This gad me thinking... What is Steve saw Osi(the writer made me believe the Devil did saw Osi where he(Osi) had hid) from where he had hidden before they (Steve and Amara entered into the compound)? Thus the below extract...
"He(Steve) thought hard. Two days ago, he had dodged a bullet and since then his mind hadn't really been at rest. Especially with the pastor still around. He decided not to risk it. He entered his room and opened his wardrobe. He dug inside, and retrieved a slim case."

"Stevenson opened the case, using a 4 digit combination code and stared at the contents. Satisfied, he locked the briefcase and carried it with him. He didn't feel he should let it out of his sight today."
....maybe he was scared Osi would come for it(the slim case) which he(Osi) did

That night the devil hunted. He didn't roam around the village like before, not this time. He had a specific prey on his mind. He positioned in the bush- the very same bush he had seen the tall pastor hide this morning and smiled at the irony. The very same man who saw himself as the defender of the universe had been responsible for showing him such a promising spot. " The above extract made me believe that the Devil is keeping close tabs on Osi,maybe: just maybe he was watching Osi closely to know his next move thats how he saw him(Osi) from where he had hidden (it might have been Steve).....

NOTE:My above observation is subject to wrong judgement

Stevenson is just an accomplice,my mind is fixated on the empty bottle of alcohol in one of the crime scenes and Stevenson doesn't drink
i think you are wrong. When Okudili and Stevenson as a character was introduced,they had the below conversation ....
"This drink is for real men! Your type should
drink ribena and leave this for men" Okudili
replied him rudely. The only thing that had
kept him from beating the man to a pulp
was because he knew he would be in
trouble with the community.
"Ah..I'd bring by a bottle of SCOTCH later,
you'd enjoy it" Stevenson said"


scoth is an ACHOLIC drink...or is it not?

Who would keep a scotch in his house and claims he doesnt drink? Huh?

The briefcase contained documents and pictures. Amara was very hasty as she leafed through the contents. The notepad was the first thing she saw but there wasn't time to go through it. underneath the notepad were some newspaper clippings. The newspaper was foreign and she guessed it was from Steve’s country.
However the headlines made her blood run cold.
Man stabs his wife to death
fresh evidence as police discover slain wife was brutally raped
Underneath the headline was the picture of a beautiful woman. She had a lovely smile.
What on earth is Steve doing with these newspaper clippings? She thought to herself

A particular page caught her attention
College professor still on the run; by Salander Ljunberg

College professor Patrick Kristenssen is still on the run after strangling his wife to death. Police determined the cause of death to be asphyxiation and further investigation determined Christie, 32 was brutally raped and the semen fluid matched D.N.A of her husband Patrick, 43. It is unclear as to what caused the murder and friends and families have professed their shock stating that the couple was very much in love and hardly fought. Police have offered a handsome reward for anyone with any news concerning the whereabouts of Mr. Patrick.
Last spring Mr. Patrick was involved in a scandal when his nudes ending up in his female students possession but managed to hold onto his job by claiming his phone was hacked…

If Amara had any doubt as to who Mr. Patrick Kristenssen was then the attached picture cleared the doubt. It was Stevenson alright. He wore his hair in a ponytail and wore medicated glasses and had very long goatee.
According to the newspaper he was 43 when this had happened. A quick scan at the date confirmed her suspicions. It was two years ago.
Stevenson was a killer, and a rapist. He must be the devil and she was sure it wasn't just research that had drove him here.
She leafed through the contents hoping to see the love letter but then she heard the voices getting closer. She could hear her father laughing as both men approached the living room.
She hurriedly replaced the documents and snapped the case close.
She had seen enough. Stevenson was definitely the killer, case close!

•⁰•₀⁰
The ministers meeting consisted of four individuals: pastor Batholomew, his brother Sofiri and two other men Osi didn’t know. Although he could remember seeing their faces from the virgil service. Pastor Batholomew was pleased to see him and introduced him excitedly to the rest.
Osi took a seat beside Sofiri and tried to focus on the ‘matters arising’ as pastor Batholomew put it.
“So, according to our budget we can kick off our building project next month, our plan to move to an even bigger premises, the architect has submitted the plan and everything is in place”
“Please….sorry for interrupting but I feel this current location is still very okay” Osi said
“yes I understand…but you know this place was once a supermarket with stalls? The walls were taken down to make it bigger but its time for the church to grow”
Osi shrugged. It wasn’t his church afterall.
One of the young men who Pastor Bartholomew had introduced as Michael spoke up. “Sir, one other thing that has been bothering my spirit…I feel the people might have shifted from their faith. Ever since the death of Okudili they have gone back to their traditional ways. They believe some kind of deity carried out vengeance on their behalf. Take last Sunday for instance, we’ve never had such a low turnout on a Sunday before and I only fear its going to get worse”
Pastor Batholomew was nodding “I admit it didn’t escape my notice and I’ve been thinking of the different ways we could counter it…on the bright side the killer is gone and its only just a matter of time and things would get back to how it was before”
“actually I believe Okudili was not the killer” Osi spoke up “He was murdered and I believed he was killed by the killer because he knew something”
“What! But that’s ridiculous” Sofiri sounded surprised “Everybody knows Okudili was responsible for the hideous crimes”
“What exactly is the evidence? The declaration of a dibia? unless God himself assures me that Okudili was the killer then I’m not buying it”
An uncomfortable silence followed as everyone seemed to chew on what he said. Finally pastor Batholomew sighed “Honestly pastor, I sincerely hope you’re wrong”
Osi nodded “So do I”

He skipped lunch after the meeting offering the excuse that he was pressed and didn't eat yam porridge.
“you’re missing pastor, my wife is a terrific cook”
He didn’t doubt it. The aroma was something else, but he couldn’t wait to see Amara. The lesson should have been over by now and he earnestly hoped that Steve hadn’t gone through with his promise to kiss her.

₀•₀•⁰•
Osi shouldn’t have worried. Amara didn’t know what her father had told the European but he had entered the house, carried his briefcase and bade her goodbye. She couldn’t even escort him or reply because the words she had read kept on dancing behind her eyes. At first she wanted to tell someone so bad. She was jittery and almost spilled the news to her father immediately Steve had left but she controlled herself. That would be very rash and her father might not believe her and the worst case scenario it would be her word against his.
She almost blurted it out to Joy but then she thought: why burden her sister with such news. Although she could see it as a strategy to get the gossip mill turning because Joy was bound to talk to her friends and the bush fire would spread no doubt but that still didn’t seem wise. Steve was a man of the people, the people’s favourite so she held her peace.

When Osi came by later in the afternoon she waited impatiently as her father joked with him. “Young man I can see you no longer want to leave us…you’ve fallen in love with my village haven’t you?”
Osi smiled and looked at Amara “Actually sir I’ve found something priceless and I can’t afford to leave it behind just yet”
De’ Nwachukwu seemed to read the hidden meaning and he laughed heartily. He really liked the sharp young man and he could tell his daughter did too.
“Okay Amara, let me go and see Pa Kenneth…we are making plans for a general meeting”

The minute they were alone Amara asked Osi: “Did you find anything?”
He shook his head in disappointment. “Nothing…its like he knew I was coming” he brought out his phone and scrolled through the pictures “Actually I saw this photograph in his drawer…what are your thoughts?”
Amara studied the picture and gasped. She could see the clearer picture now. “Its her…it’s the same woman”
“What woman?” Osi asked. He was getting confused
“She’s his wife…or she was his wife…she’s dead”
