NEVER LET ANYONE TELL YOU THAT YOU AIN'T GOOD ENOUGH. BRO/SIS, YOU ARE MORE THAN BEING JUST ENOUGH. NEVER LET YOUR CURRENT SITUATION DETERMINE YOUR FUTURE POSITION(Jimoh Ibrahim's dad was a bricklayer and his mum, a fish monger right now, he's a multi billionaire) #daretodream. THE ADJACENT EPISODE 19: Lurking 3 blocks away from Emmanuel’s house was Lanre quietly monitoring the proceedings from his car through his binocular, he noticed one more person inside car meaning the Alhaji Hassim suspect was in the car with them. He saw as the gateman and maid following the car out of the compound, running after it as they left. His first impulse was to act like a troubled neighbor and go into the house which he did and what he found surprised him. Lanre moved closer to the house. He could hear the gateman packing his bag, the man who acted kind of feeble became a lot more agile. He thought that the man had stolen some money from the house to elope but then the automatic gates opened so he dived behind a garden and saw as the gateman left the house in the new LR4. Lanre thought to himself, something must be up, he called his immobile sponsor and said. “ The Alhaji Hassim has been picked up, however his gateman is leaving the house in a car which is kind of unusual” Lanre’s sponsor answered “Describe the suspect to me.” Lanre responded “He’s middle aged, light in complexion and about 6 ft, I didn’t get a good look at him.” His sponsor replied “That’s not Alhaji Hassim, describe the gateman to me.” Lanre answered, “He’s elderly, grey hair in his front patch, bald and grey moustache, looks like he’s in his early 60s” His sponsor getting tensed up asked “Did you get to see his hand, Alhaji Hassim has a fetish for wristwatches.” Lanre replied “I was lurking in a small garden but I think I saw his hand as he was driving off, he seems to be wearing a Rolex wristwatch.” His sponsor’s voice heightened “Lanre!! Where is he now?” Lanre replied “Am currently trailing him”. His sponsor replied “Never lose sight of him because my friend, you’re tailing Alhaji Hassim 1 Like |

BELIEVE IN GOD AND BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND SAY:YES I CAN CAUSE YOU REALLY CAN. HAVE A BLESSED WEEK THE ADJACENT EPISODE 20: All credit goes to my big bros @ Deolu Bubble. This work wouldn't have existed without his contributions. With the last instruction from his sponsor being for him not to lose who he was tailing, Lanre was sure the end of the show was drawing to an end. He had employed all the known tactics he knew about tailing people without getting known. He allowed two cars in between them with his eyes glued to the car he was tailing. The LR4 seemed to be heading off the island and towards Apapa. Lanre wasn’t sure if Alhaji suspected he was followed and diverted but either way, he would find out where he was heading. Apapa isn’t exactly tailing friendly as Alhaji’s SUV kept swerving in-between containers making the tailing difficult. With his absolute attention on Alhaji’s car and maintaining visible distance from him, Lanre had eliminated the space of 2 cars he was using initially. He cut the distance down to just a car in between them. Lanre’s attention was broken by a call on his phone. His caller was his sponsor and he picked the call. “Hello Lanre, hows it going?” Asked the caller. “Well, I guess. We’re at Apapa right now” Lanre replied. “Apapa? ” The caller asked. “Yes, I’m positive it’s Apapa, the Port is down the road” Lanre restated his point. “I don’t think Alhaji has any property in Apapa, he particularly disliked the area, always complained about how busy the roads are with containers everywhere” The caller replied. Lanre cut in “I will have to call you back because he’s making a turn as we speak” The line went off with Lanre’s voice being the last. Alhaji’s SUV turned into a street, Lanre turned in as well after about 4 seconds after. The street seemed deserted; Lanre reduced the acceleration as he moved through the houses on the street. All the gates of the houses were locked, he continued driving down the street. He saw a gate closing down the road, he sped up to the place where the gate was closing in and by the time he got there, the gate was completely shut. He got out of the car, took of his top, put on his bulletproof vest and put his shirt back on. He brought out his 9mm handgun, tucked it safely behind his back, put some catridges in his denim pocket. He had a hunch that whatever lay beyond the fence of the building was definitely more than just an old man trying to escape discovery. Lanre got out of the car, moved close to fence. The fence, not so high that he scaled it easily and turned around to hear guns corking. He knew the protocol of such things was to raise his hands clearly above his hand, spreading his whole fingers out and turn slowly. When he fully turned around, he surveyed the small army who numbered almost 15. They were evenly spread around him in a semi circle. He couldn’t find the old man who drove the car but found another car driving out of the compound. Lanre didn’t need anyone to tell him it would be difficult to get out of this alive. Looking through the boys he could tell they weren’t military grade mercenaries; they were just thugs for hire. One of them stepped forward to him clearly to identify himself as the head of the gang. He said “You do know it’s dangerous tailing a retired Military man” Lanre replied ignoring his earlier statement “So, what’s this place?” Looking around the compound, scanning around for exits other than the one behind him, making himself at home in the surrounding. The head of the gang couldn’t sense fear from Lanre rather he could perceive courage even in the position where he had been outnumbered by them. One of the trigger happy thugs corked the gun but the head of the thugs signalled to him to drop his gun. He obeyed the gesture and stood at ease. The leader continued “You seem rather at ease despite how outnumbered you are, how is that possible?” Lanre smiled and whispered the following into his ears “The whole of your crew are untrained in warfare, they just believe as far as they have a gun nothing else matters but from what i can see, some of the guns they’re carrying look dirty and unclean. There is a 70% chance of 80% of the guns jamming when you open fire. Most of these guns are used by your thugs to bully people that’s all. There is no actual usage and if you don’t use a gun just like another other metal device it will rust and am banking on that for some of your guns. My friend, i used to be in the Army infact i was a Major in the Army, Nigerian thugs don’t scare me, all of you put together do not scare me. I have gone for peacekeeping in Somalia, Sudan, Liberia, Sierra Leone, folks there don’t have no mercy. None of you would last a day in those territories. I spent 5 years there, I was a commanding officer for my squad. So, a little charade of hoodlums with guns will not scare me. Ok? Now, I will ask you a few questions and you will give me the answer to the questions i want or i might have to test the loyalty of your men for you or Alhaji. Where is Alhaji heading to? ” Lanre said in the most sincere and confident voice ever. The leader couldn’t believe what he just heard, he was furious, the anger brewing in him was like a volcano. He wanted to move back to his thugs were, but as he turned his back to Lanre, in a rather swift and deadly calculated move, Lanre took the head of the thugs captive hiding behind his frame. Clouding himself behind the frame of their leader, not giving them a clear shot at taking him out. He pressed the tip of his 9mm handgun firmly against the side of his head. The captive immediately dropped his weapon. The thugs weren’t sure of what to do next either to spray their boss along with Lanre or just not do anything. Being a captive, their boss screamed at them to all drop their guns and they obeyed. Lanre carefully masked himself behind their boss making sure that any shot fired will kill their boss. Lanre began his questioning behind their boss. “If you remember correctly, I asked you a question less than a minute ago, you didn’t answer me. I wasn’t mad at you for not answering. I mean….. it’s natural for you to hesitate but walking out on me Thats what I couldn’t take” Lanre said. The leader was breathing fast and hard,he could feel the tip of the metal against his head wondering what sort of maniac Lanre was. He said, “I still will not tell you, you cant get out of this alive; we have everywhere covered” Lanre smiled and replied “Let me give you a little analogy of how I will survive this with little bruises anyway. I will make you instruct your thugs not to follow us, which they will obey because if you don’t my will cut the superficial vein at the back of your arm. You will bleed to death,your boys will try to stop the bleeding but they wont be able to, by this time, i would have scaled the fence into the main street and scale another random fence in the area before they can even get out of the compound because i will throw a grenade to the fuel tank beside the house. Some of your boys will be wounded while some will be trying to save your life, either ways there is a low probability of more than 2 of your boys coming after me. Do I look like i cant handle 2 of your men? So, I would say your best bet is to tell me now, so i wouldnt have to cut your superficial vein” Lanre explained “Now, let me ask you again, Where is Alhaji heading? ” Lanre asked. “Porto Novo!” The leader screamed, the thought of the complete foolproof plan scared him. Lanre used him as a shield out of the house, the thugs were all looking as Lanre escaped with their Boss. Lanre opened the boot of the car and pushed him inside,he protested “What of the grenade and all the plans you spoke of earlier” Lanre replied “I changed my mind! Moreover I lied about the grenade”, he closed the boot of the car and drove off. The thugs came out as they heard the sound of the car but they couldnt shoot. 1 Like |
