End of an era. I have spent some time with the Okungbowa's history because I feel readers should understand why certain characters (in that household) will do certain things as the story continues. We shall continue with Unique and the case on Monday. Have a good weekend everyone.

God bless u dear

***
Detective Unique Adeleke knocked once before entering ASP Kassim Kolawole’s office. He gave a salute and announced ‘’afternoon sir you sent for me’’

‘’Sit down’’ the older man said. He gestured towards a chair and continued to read something off a diary. Afterwards he pushed the book aside and stared straight at the detective ‘’so how are we doing with the hit and run case?’’ he asked.

‘’Very fine sir’’

‘’Well that’s not what I really want to hear? You know what I mean. I just got off the phone with Professor Buwa so tell me something good’’

‘’We are still hard at work sir. So far everyone in the neighbourhood appears squeaky clean. It’s quite complicated because these individuals are seemingly high standing members of the society not touts. In any case, I have some neighbours I’d like to interview again but…’’

‘’But you’ve got nothing ehn? That’s what you are trying to say isn't it? All your plenty talk and I can tell you’ve got nothing for me. I know you quite well. Once you strike gold, you don’t beat around the bush’’

‘’Ermm… it’s a bit challenging but we are getting somewhere sir’’ suddenly Unique began to sweat under the stern gaze of ASP Kassim Kolawole.

The older man nodded his head like he understood Unique’s plight but of course he had something else in his head and once he opened his mouth, he didn’t mince words ‘’listen Adeleke, I put you on this case because I know you produce results and I need results. I don’t want to hear about your challenges. If I want someone to tell me about the challenges of dealing with members of the upper class, I know who to assign the case to. I don’t want time wasters and that’s why I paired you with Officer Chukwunonso Okolie I mean ... what’s that her new name again? I keep forgetting’’

‘’Aburime. Chukwunonso Aburime’’

‘’You know what, take some time away and rest your weary head’’

‘’Chichi, it’s the worse time to do that’’

‘’No I don’t mean that of course. I mean like this weekend, go away and see Obehi. You’ve been talking about it for sometime. You have a lot on your plate. You’re thinking work, you’re thinking about making up with her so go for it. Perhaps you need to get laid before getting some fresh insight on the case…’’

Then Unique began to laugh and he asked her a question ‘’madam did you just say what my ear heard?’’

‘’Oh c’mon now; don’t be prude. Unique, say something and get out early on Friday. I’ll cover for you and manage the case until you return on Monday. Go do something for you and allow me do my bit. I promise to call every house on Obaretin Street. I'll call their number and jolt them to reality; make them understand we are still on the case and we need their help. Who knows what will come out of it?’’

‘’You’re right’’ Unique whispered. Afterwards he got up and smiled at her.

‘’Officer Unique Olawale Adeleke, I’m always right. Go book a flight or something’’

‘’I sure will’’ Unique replied. Then he walked away.

''Hmmm!’’

‘’I have seen a lot and in these past few weeks, the madness has intensified. They drove two gatemen away and they continually boast that I can do nothing more’’

‘’Mama, please don’t take this the wrong way but why don’t you do what you always do to people who stand in your way? What has gone wrong this time, teach these people a lesson so…’’

‘’My daughter, it is not so oh! A wise woman knows the fights she engages in and the one to withdraw from. I am getting older and I’m not as strong as I used to be. Every other day I open door, I see them by the corner singing ‘igiogbe, igiogbe, igiogbe!*’’

‘’Mama, but you have always known about the igiobe doctrine. I don’t even know why you are fighting this case in court. You are wasting the small money you claim you don’t have. Your lawyer has warned you already, there is no way on earth you will win this case in the Nigerian court. From the lowest to the appellate to the highest court in the land the decision remains the same. THAT HOUSE WILL GO TO EDIGUE AND YOU KNOW IT!’’

‘’My daughter, you have spoken well and that is why I bought my land at my hometown kia kia. I cannot cry as a young woman and cry again in old age. That is why I have been doing the little I can do. Right now, I am wiring the house but there is still so much to do. If that house was complete but not plastered, I would have run there long long ago but it is far from finished. I need the sum of ₦500,000 to complete it. I am in court for a reason and you know why. All na to drag the case and buy me more time until I finish my own house. My daughter that is why I need your help oh! Bukola these people are serious oh; it is time for me to leave that their father’s house before they kill me!’’

Then Bukky sighed deeply and excused herself. She returned from the kitchen with two glasses and a container of chilled juice. She set it before her mother and filled the glasses. Mama rejected the drink and continued to stare at her daughter as she drank hers.




*In Bini custom Igiogbe represents the family seat or the principal house of the deceased. It is inherited by the eldest surviving son of the deceased after the performances of the second burial ceremonies. In most cases (some exceptions exist though )the eldest surviving son of a bini man would inherit the igiogbe even if he is illegitimate or his father wills the property to another
