Episode 5
2 weeks before the robbery day, janet had
been skipping class seriously. She had
been frustrating my effort and I knew if
she continues this way, no doubt that she
will fail the next JAMB. So I thought of a
plan. Each time I am about to tell her to attend classes, I will place my phone on a
recorder. So I have been capturing all her
excuses and conversations. Even the
periods that she do threatened me, I do
record the threats. On the night of the
robbery, I have sneaked in as usual, I ate my dinner in sikirat’s room. We have
had our lessons. Just when we were
bleeping in canine style, we heard a knock
on the gate. ”Open the gate or else I will
blow your head with gun”, a voice said
from outside. We were scared, my d–k went flat instantly. What do we do now?, sikirat asked. I
don’t know too, I replied immediately. I
remembered my neighbour friend at
home. His name is sunkanmi. Sunkanmi is
a police officer, he had joined the police
force about 7 years ago, he was feared by people in our neighbourhood. I placed a call
to sunkanmi. ME: hello sunkanmi, abeg there is trouble.
Where you dey? SUNKANMI: I dey work on night duty ME: please we need your help at the white
house SUNKANMI: where is white house? And
what is happening there?. ME: armed robbers are here please do
something to help us. **i described the
location** Sunkanmi: but wetin u dey do for there
this midnite?. You go rob? ME: I will explain later. I hanged up. I and sikirat locked ourselves
inside the bathroom in her room. The
thieves had gained entrance into the
compound, manipulated the entrance door
and now in the living room. They searched
every room including sikirat’s room. We didn’t make any sound, they went to the
kitchen, ate the beefs in the pot before
returning back to the living room. They
were about going away with some money
and properties when we heard another
voice outside “stop there, if you move then you are dead”. I was happy that
sunkanmi had helped. All the robbers
were arrested, I and sikirat came out of
the room, dressed up and went outside to
see what was going on. I couldn’t see
sunkanmi among the cops. The police officer asked ”who are the
occupants of this house?”, the gateman
pointed to sikirat as the person who lives
in the main house as at this time. The
police officer turned to me. Oga, who are
you?. I went dumb and couldn’t speak. How do I explain my identity?. Its past
4am, the robbers are now in the police
van, the officer told me and sikirat to
follow them to station for statement
writing. ****chaiiiii, my own don meet me today,
wetin I go tell madam?, how do I get there
at midnite?, what for?. On reaching the station, I called sunkanmi
and he gave me directions to where I will
see him. ME: sunky baba, you have to help me
please. SUnKANMI: what happened?, I was the one
who arranged the boys to rescue you after
your call last night. ME: I know, but I need help. SUnKANMI: what do you want me to do for
you?, ME: ********i explained all my
movements, my secret lessons to him**** SunKANMI: so what? ME: madam will be here soon. What will be
my explanation? SUNKANMI: leave that to me, In your
statement, just write it that you were
coming from a vigil when you noticed the
robbery movements, you hide
somewhere, minutes later, you called me.
You saw the gate opened by the robbers, you summon the courage to enter with the
mindset to rescue the occupants of the
house, then the police arrived. That’s all. ME: sunky baba. Thanks so much ooooo. ****chaiiii, see police sense. I went back to
meet sikirat, whispered into her ears
about what sunkanmi said. She was happy
and relieved because she too was scared
of what will happen if madam finds out.
Sunkanmi also gave a script to sikirat to write. It was that day I believed that
“POLICE IS YOUR FRIEND”. We both write our statements as directed
by sunkanmi. At about 6:10am, madam
and janet arrived. MADAM: police officer, what happened?, I
heard my house was robbed and my maid
is here? ***i guess oga peter didn’t
mention my name to madam. That good of
him**** IPO: yes madam. It was this young man
that alerted the police “pointing at me” ****he reads out my statement to madam.
Sunkanmi also add sauce and juice to the
story. Madam was so exicited. See me at
home tomorrow sunday at 3pm “madam
said to me”. . . Its 3pm on sunday, I dressed well and
went straight to the white house. I was
welcomed warmly. Madam, janet and
gideon were sitting in the living room. MADAM: onihaxy, I’m so happy about
what you did, for your courage, boldness
and the police you invited to save our
properties from been stolen. ME: ******my head come dey swell***.
You are welcome ma. MADAM: now, you are now more than a
lesson teacher. You are now part of our
family. Feel free to come here any time.
You may sleep over whenever you feel
like. ME: ****my head come swell again*****
thank you ma. MADAM: sikira!!!!!!!!!!!!, show onihaxy his
new room. He is now part of us, whenever
he feels like sleeping over, he should be
welcomed. Janet looked at me, she smiled and
winked. I followed sikirat to see the room.
Now, no more sneaking, we are now
closer. “Sikirat said”. I left the white house on that sunday
evening, different thoughts running
through my mind. What is janet up to?,
why did she winked at me?, what if I was
caught with sikirat?, I thought of
everything and decided to maintain my usual lesson outing with to the white
house. Sikirat’s lesson at my home continued
every market days, I kept on enjoying
food stuffs and beef courtesy of sikirat, we
still had our friday night lesson/s-x at the
white house. Something happened along the line. I came
for lessons as usual and met janet in the
living room looking depressed and sad. I
tried talking to her but she won’t say a
word. I manipulated her by every means
but she won’t talk, I came closer to her, held her palm, she was so cold, I looked
into her eyes and it was soaked, Janet
must be going through something or
something happened to her I thought, yet
she wouldn’t speak. Janet stood up and
went to her room. I didn’t know where the boldness came from, I followed her. She sat on her bed, bending down her head
and supporting it with her left hand, she
was wearing her usual bump short with a
yellow top. I sat beside her. Held her hand
again trying to talk to her. “Janet, you can talk to me” I can’t say
anything, she replied. “Do you want me
to start crying also?” She lift up her head
looked at me and said, Onihaxy, “I have
been heart broken”……… To be continued.
