Janti this you? I'm deactivating after this story, and I can't be traced...
I got admission into Cross River University of technology (Crutech) in 2010, and was a promising student.... On our matriculation night, some friends called me to go party, and me being the outing time decided to go... As we grooved into the night, we heard chants of ave sir!! Ave! in the air(Klansmen echoing) and we saw and heard chairs and tables being scattered.... Men with pistols and pump action came in, and ordered us to cooperate or they'll waste us... Back then forced and open initiation was very much in vogue...
I was initiated into the Klansmen cult group forcefully, and I couldn't speak out for fear of being killed or maimed...
I started smoking and doing drugs.. Always on sidebags(matters bag like we call it with a pistol inside) and face cap always....
I was always restless and skipped classes always for fear of being used to count scores when there was a hit between axemen and Klansmen, and it was very brutal.. I was an engineering class, and my phone rang.. My fellow klansman and friend was calling( names will be changed for security purposes)
Mike- "Ave, where you dey? The plantation is shaking. If you dey school, comot from there immediately" My heart flew out of my body, as I was known by some axemen friends who we stayed together... I immediately took my bag, face cap on, and bag sideways, i boarded a keke,took a taxi, and fled to 8miles in my aunties, place where i told her I wanted spending the weekend with her.. Luckily it was a Friday, so she didn't suspect...
On Saturday evening, i got a call. Caller:"these massas don fall one bobo o" Me:" for where?" Caller : "for ekpo abasi" At this point, i knew it was too hot for me to stay in town as I didn't know who and who was who.. I had to flee to akwa ibom, and kept a low profile till the war calmed down... Aye killed 3 klansmen, and we killed 1 aye... The war died down after peace talks, because exams was fast approaching...
Ayes didn't know it was a plot to bring all of them back to campus before pulling hits upon hit... We called a meeting at the back of unical called Cameroon (those who are in unical knows the place... There's a river there that you can use to get into Cameroon...
Imagine holding a meeting by 2am in the morning just because of cultism...
"One bobo equals to one thousand massa. Problem for one problem for all oche keleke oche bam bam daybam" our point one echoed. And we shouted, and pronounced hit on the ayes in our plantation (our plantation is like our deck, just as ayes call it temple)
Life resumed as normal, and we got info that the present director of socials Akpo was a strong axeman, and was among the ayes who hit our men... Akpo was very rugged and feared in school, and he had committed atrocities in another university before running to calabar to school, so he was a hard target....
We mapped him out, and set him up twice, but he was wise and didn't show up...
Once your time is up, nothing can stop your death when you're surrounded... Unknown to him - his very close friend(name cannot be mentioned) was a very rugged klansman, and we used him to set him up.. Let's call his friend bassey... Bassey called him for lunch, and we were already set for the hit... Me, and 4 other rugged kk men, were chosen for the hit, and when we sighted Akpo, we played along until he entered the restaurant... We overhead them laughing and exchanging pleasantries, then they settled down and were eating... It was time for the hit....
Our number 2 went in first, and we followed..
He shouted "Ave sirs" We returned it with "Ave" He brought out a pistol with a red cowrie tied to the mouth( as no ordinary pistol could penetrate akpo, he was a very strong obudu boy that was very well fortified), when akpo saw that he was surrounded, he tried making a run, but before he could stand up, he was shot in the head, and died instantly...
We escaped through a Bush path, as the eatery was in a remote part of the University..... Akpo was egede number 2, and was feared by everyone including vikings and kk... When he fell, there was pandemonium, and everyone was in fear...
I called my very close friend Mike who had called me when there was war ... Rip mike,  Me:"Mike, how far where you dey?" Mike:"ave, I dey school" Me:"comot for school, we don fall akpo" He didn't even wait for me to finish.. He ended the call and was about leaving... Hours later, I called his number, and it waa switched off... I was worried sick about him, then I heard Mike and three others had been shot dead inside school....
He didn't leave school immediately, as he thought he wasn't a well known klansman, but didn't know ayes had fetish means used in identifying kks...
I cried for days, and fled to akwa ibom where I stayed for a month before deciding to leave calabar for good... As it stands, I can't enter calabar anymore, as I'm mapped for hit, and I'd never forget the blood splattering on the floor when our number two shot akpo...
Haunts me till this day.... God have mercy on me... |
