TIME: 7:30PM
VENUE: UNIVERSITY'S GIRLS HOSTEL.
__________________________________________
A black Hyundai drove and came to a halt just before the hostel gate.
"Thank you very much for honouring my call." Deoye said.
"Thanks for the dinner." Darsimi replied.
Three hours after Deoye and his friend went to town he came back alone
to pick Darasimi and they drove around the city of city of Lagos before
settling down at one of the chineese restaurants for their dinner where
they discussed extensively concerning Hadiza's death. As much as she
tried to make him explain why he wanted her to lure Chioma out to him,
he stylishly changed the topics.
"I will give you a call when I reach home." Deoye said.
"I'll be expecting your call."
"Bye." He said switching on the ignition of the car.
Darasimi opened the car door and got down. She waited until he backed
out his car and drove off before she knocked on the gate and after many
hassles with the gateman who claimed that it was time to lock th gate
for the night, something he doesn't do until after eight o'clock. He
agreed to let her in after recieving a sum of 200 naira as entry fee.
She proceeded to her friend's room upstairs. She entered the room
and was suprised to see her friends crying.
"Chioma what's wrong?" She asked the only person she knew would
gladly talk to her.
"Dayo's mum died this evening." Chioma replied.
"What! How come?" She asked.
"We relayed the death of her daughter to her and thirty minutes
ago, Dayo's dad called to announce her death." Chioma explained.
"This must be as a result of shock." Darasimi added.
"Exactly. You know she is the only child."
They all collectively consoled Dolapo who yet again has lost her
mother for the second time.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Clement drove into the GRA to visit the deputy governor on the said
meeting.
Soldiers are seen everywhere along the road patrolling and checking
every car that passes that route. This has been the tradition every
blessed day, they mount this patrol and roadblocks every blessed night.
"How far?" A soldier greeted Clement.
"I dey. Inspector Clement be my name." He said flashing his I.D card.
"Dey go dey go." The soldier cleared the road for him as he informed
the other millitary men to let him pass. The same continued until he got
to the big black gate that adorned the deputy governor's villa. The
soldiers at the entrance delayed his entry as they kept on requesting
for papers upon papers which he wasted no time in providing as they
requested for them.
Just when he was cleared to drive in, he notice a shadow crawling beside the high walls of the villa that served as the fence. He called the attention of one of the soldiers. And together they advanced towards the suspected area. When they met the shocker of their lives. Immediately rains of gunshot started pouring down on them and it took them a few seconds to register what's going on. A fierce gun battle took place between the deputy governor's security men led by Inspector Clement and the terrorists who lost their guards and were overpowered even though few of them ran deeper into the bush behind the villa in their bid to escape.

--continuation--
Okoro and his new found boys continued in their quest for freedom and the boys numbering up to forty has been reduced to a figure way below twenty. Okoro knew it won't take long before they all get killed, if by this time they are still in the underground then by the time they reach the surface of the earth, the last perosn would be killed.
He stopped them by the time they reached and hallway which had three different routes that could possibly lead them outside.
"Now, we've reached the crossroads where we part and hopefully meet again. We've been moving in mass for the last five minutes and thank God were are yet to be conered but right now, we all have to create groups and each of these groups go through one of these routes." Okoro began.
"It will be best if we create a four man group. Meaning there will be three groups." The boy who was doing the talking the other time
replied.
"Who is with me?" Okoro asked and suprisingly all the boys wanted to go with him. They believed with him their chances of escape is high.
He thought for a few seconds and decided to do the selection. He picked himself as the leader of a group, the extroverted boy as the leader of the second group and one other boy was choosed to lead the last team and off they parted after saying their probably last goodbyes.
The terrorists on the other hand who seemed to be relenting in their efforts to stop their escape devised a plan to let them reach the surface where they'll be attacked. Reason being that, the boys and Okoro could be too fast for them to track and the best they(the terrorists) could do was to wait on them. The routes takes one from the underground to the main building and the terrorists are sure they'll come through at least one of the routes and they are there waiting for them.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Mike and his team were unable to hold on the terrorist's base camp for long as they possesed weapons that are way higher than what the police had. As the policemen collectivelly killed one terrorist, a terrorist individually drops two policeman and when Mike realised that the best option for them is to retreat. He called for a retreat and about five policemen left the scene unhit without notifying Clement.
Clement's team on the other hand couldn't sneak in behind the
basecamp because someone with a snipper was dropping them one after the other. And according to Clement, it is easier to fight an opponent
physically than fight with someone whom you couldn't seen and possessed a weapon of mass destruction. He too ordered a retreat without notifying Mike and coincidentally they met at the point where they parted an hour ago to recount their ordeals. The left the zone and the most suprising thing was that the terrorists gave no chase.
On their way back from the terrorist's hideout and back to the police satation, Clement recieved a call from the state police commissioner requesting his presence at the deputy governor's office for a one on one conversation about the security situation of the state on behalf of the governor who travelled on that day to the country's capital city. Clement pleaded with the police chief that the meeting be postponed to the following day which he bluntly refused and after series of pleading he gave him a last option of visiting the number two citizen of the state at his private residence later in the evening. 8pm to be precise, one hour after he(the deputy governor) returns from office.

PROLOGUE
It was the annual thanksgiving ceremony in the Thomas family. This has been the tradition for over a decade now for the Thomas to celebrate a reunion every once in a year. A day was always set aside, always a Saturday in the month of July to celebrate this annual event. Every
member of the Thomas family made it a point of duty to be present year in year out and Oluwole Thomas has been hosting the event for the past five years, since he hit the mega money contract with the federal government which skyrocketted his status in the family. His mansion which was located in the surburb area of Ibadan at the Agodi gate GRA oyo state. Members of the extended families including aunties and uncles
were present at the occassion.
"Oluwole. Where is your wife? I have not seen her since we arrived here about one hour ago." Patrick Thomas, Oluwole's elder brother said.
"I have not seen her all night too. Nate, go and call your mum."
Oluwole replied as he beckoned on his second son of his three children, two boys, Davies and Nathaniel and the girl, Serena, the baby of the family.
Nathaniel went in search of their mother and returned after one
minute.
"Dad, mum is not in her room." Nate informed his father who was
chatting with his siblings, his elder brother and sister, Patrick and
Jane and his younger brother, Collins.
"You can go." Collins said.
Nathaniel went back to where he was previously seated chatting with one of his cousins, Fedrick, Collins' first son.
Oluwole excused himself from the gathering and went in search of his wife, Anita. He had one place in mind since she was not in her room, the garden.
Oluwole walked into the garden and saw his beautiful wife under a
tached canopy chatting away on her laptop, a bottle of wine stood on the table as well as a glass cup which was half filled.
"Anita. What are you doing here?" He asked immediately he sat down on one of the chairs.
"Am chatting with an old friend. Doris, you know her don't you? The chapel prefect when we were in school. She now lived in the state with her family." Anita replied excitedly.
"Since you saw her on facebook last week, you are always chatting
with her. Doing what? Catching up on old times you'll say. Thereby
neglecting your duties. My family members are in there, you refused to welcome them."
"What duties Oluwole? The cooks are there to prepare whatever food you family wants to eat and which welcome again? Its not like I invited them here." She replied.
"But this has been the tradition for many years now." Oluwole replied.
"Traditions can die anytime and moreso I can't join you in placing your own family members on high when I have mine too and they are equally important too." She replied.
"So you are not joining us in there right?" He asked.
"Exactly. And as you can see. I am busy now." She replied.
Oluwole walked away angrily. All his life he has never been embarrassed that much even when he was poor.
This was the begining of the problem in the family. The children fell apart, some in support of their father and the others on their mother's side.

--continuation--
The boys did as instructed by Okoro. They pressed the red button and a
loud alarm kept blaring and a few minutes later, the door opened and
three armed men walked into the hall.
"Yes. Any problem?" One of the men asked.
"Sir, we need you to help us check something up there." The boy who
was talking to Okoro said. From what Okoro had seen, it seemed the boy
is an extrovert or someone who loved talking. One of the armed men
walked towards the staircase landing and made to ascend the stairs. Just
then, as planned, ten of the boys attacked the man at the staircase and
the others took care of the other two armed men, squeezing life out of
them as the stangled them and continually hit their heads on the tiled
floor.
Okoro came out of his hiding place and as usuall, he was able to take
nine weapons from the three men. Three Ak-47 hung on their shoulders,
three table knifes and two 9mm automatic revolver and another 33mm
pistol. Bringing the total number of weapons to fourteen. He distributed
them to the boys and divided them into groups.
"We'll advance from here and were are to move together. One step at
a time and we are expected to watch each other's back. Okay?"
"Yes sir." They all replied.
"Now lets get this done." Okoro said as he walked towards the opened
door. Just then a sound was heard and the door was gradually shutting
automatically.
Everything in the room seemed computerised. Just then a gunshot was
heard from a distance and the light inside the room flickered off and
the ventilation system began to shut out.
"We've been discovered. Now we need to advance out of here before
they close up on us. In few minutes, we'll be out of oxygen. We need to
be fast." Okoro said as he slipped out of the door and boys followed
suit in twos and threes and later one by one till a boy got in between
the door and he got stucked. The door crushed him hard and despite his
yelling there was nothing the others could do to save him. He died
moments before the door cut him into two equal halves. About five boys
were still remaining the room and no doubt they will all die for lack of
ventilation unless they climb the stairs, and the boy who went up
earlier is still alive to save them. But the gunshot they heard few
seconds ago seemed to be from that part of the building.
"Lets go." Okoro said leading the way.

Okoro walked towards another step but stopped in his tracks when he
discovered one of the boys was not moving.
"Hey! Lets get out of here or you die. You know the ventilation
system has been shut out."
"Am ready to die. He is my twin brother, my other part. Life and its
futility. Lemme die." The boy said sniffing back his tears as looked at
his brother's half body that laid on the floor with blood everywhere.
"Join us if you value you life. No time to waste." Okoro said
advancing towards the wooded door that stood up the stairs.
Okoro, with the help of the kitchen knife opened the door which had no
handle but just jammed. They got to a dimly lit part of the underground
and are faced with what next to do. Just then rain of gunshots began to
pour on them. Some of the boys who had sharp sense of alertness took
cover behind the tables and chairs in the room just like Okoro had hid
behind a shelf. The few unlucky ones were hit by the bullets.

--to be continued--

I just got a dedication here. A perfect week it has been for me.

--continuation--
Mike's led team advanced deep into the forest with one sole aim. Try
and not fall into the waiting hands of the terrorists.
Mike ordered his men to stop as he waited for instructions from
either Okoro or Clement.
"What's the situation like?" We are moving very close to their base
camp and we planning on sneaking behind them and accessing the
building." Clement informed.
"No intelligence report still?" Mike asked.
"Ngozi is keeping up with us, giving us what lays ahead." Clement
replied.
Mike ordered two of his men to go far ahead of them to spy on the
terrorists as they waited for their return.
Five minutes later, one of the two men returned with reports.
"The coast is clear ahead. No one attacked us and the base camp
seemed deserted." He replied.
"Then, the second team can advance." Mike said as he relayed the
development to Clement who pleaded for him to wait a bit while he speak
with Okoro.

+++Back inside the building+++++
Okoro was still hiding inside the room, he had successfully opened
the iron sheet covering a passageway. Just when his phone vibrated.
"Yes Clement. They are begining to search for me. They just
noticed my disappearance. You guys need to be fast before they get hold
of me." Okoro said and discovered the phone was beeping already. And it
powered off.
"Dammit! Battery empty." He murttered between breathe as he
proceeded to jump through the opening of what seemed to be an
underground.
Just then the door handle turned. then he heard angry voices
talking at the same time.
"Who locked this place?" A voice asked.
"We all knew the lock isn't working. It was locked from the
inside." Another voice replied.
"Then we have to pull it down."
Then he started hearing sounds like they were corking their guns.
Okoro without thinking twice picked the weapons he took from the first
gunman whom he attacked while working on his escape and his second
victim whose dead body lay in the same room with him. He dived through
the opening and landed on a staircase. He descended the stairs and his
feet touched the ground after ten steps. He found himself inside a very
big hall which was brightly lit and forty young boys were seated on the
floor.
The boys on seeing him scampered off and ran around the room in
fear.
"Don't be afraid. Am a policeman." He said to calm them down.
"Please help us. We are being held here and trained for a course we know nothing of." A boy replied.
"For how long have you been here?"
"Months. Maybe six months but its not up to a year." The same boy replied.
"First, one of you have to go up that staircase. Jump through a window
and you'll land inside a small room. Fasten the screws and close the
opening through which you got there. Don't worry, the door is locked.
You can have this too." Okoro said to them and handed a small 33mm
pistol to a young boy who volunteered to do it.
"First you have to change your clothes." Okoro said. The boy obliged
as he removed his shirt and trouser, Okoro gave him his shirt to wear
and pick the trouser of the lifeless armed man he'll meet up there. Off
the boy went.
"How do you communicate with these bastards?" Okoro asked.
"We press that red button and at least three men will come asking
what the matter is." The same boy who has been answering his questions
replied.
"Fine, once they come, lynch them and take their weapons. Then
we'll advance from here. Let me take covers behind this shelf, if things
go wrong. I'll be of help." He said assuringly.

--to be continued--

Hey guys, if you are following this story you'll notice that we missed some updates. Most especially the part when the police engaged in a shootout with the terrorists and Ngozi got shot and most importantly how Okoro was kidnapped by the terrorists.
Check out the updates here.... https://www.nairaland.com/1882637/all-circle-crime-story/3#26377312

Happy birthday The Rock5555. Long life and prosperities, God will grant you every of your heart desires. AMEN!!!

it was clearly stated that he picked the Ak-47, the shortgun, a knife and a mobile phone from the first gun man he killed inside his cell.

PrinceAdepoju: and where did Okoro get a phone?

Seriously you must be a very sporty woman. The other day you climbed a tree and broke a branch, now you are running away. Blessing Okagbare of Nairaland. lol.

AudreyTimms: Dictionary ke? Sssshhh! *whispers* It's copy and paste.


Lemme run out before the person I accused of such comes here.

Good
morning and welcome to the pm news at 12 on the most watched tv station on
Nairaland, DammySammy tv. My name is d9ty7.
Now before I go, we at DSTV hereby wish our colleague, Dammygoody a
happy birthday. Join us later in the day for the live broadcast of the
party hosted by Sammyhoe.
Happy birthday to you boss, long live and prosperities. God grant you
every of your heart desires. AMEN!!!
All am saying is bring back DSTV.

Okoro wasn't kidnapped forcefully. A bikeman in disguise picked him up he thinking he'll convey him to the nearest fuel station but he ended up leading him into the waiting hands of the terrorists who took him inside right from the main road. He was actually beaten to a pulp but as a policeman who has gone through series of trainings, he managed to observe things before he was locked up.

CHAPTER THREE
A door was left open along the corridor. Okoro slipped into the small
room which had a small bed and used condoms littered on the floor.
Certainly this is where these bastards rape their hostages or so he
thought.
He fastened the lock behind himself and started drawing out plans on
how to effect his escape now that he had called Clement for immediate
backup. He knew he had not much time before his disappearance became no
and any bleep up means he'll be locked up again or be killed and as far
as he could remember, he is not yet married talkless of having kids.
His eyes wandered around the four corners of the room and just then he
saw an opening which has been covered with an iron sheet fastened with
screws. His curiousity got the better of him and he decided to know what
was behind the opening. He knew there was only one way to do that which
was to go back into his cell and pick the screwdriver he left on the
window. But he was well aware of how dangerous it is, he could be
spotted by his abductors, anything could happen and his plans could be
foiled.
"I won't let this disturb me." He said as he gently unlocked the
door and hurriedly crawled back the his cell and picked the screwdriver
and ran back to his new found hiding place. Just as he was about to
enter, one of his abductors bumped into him.
"Shhhhhhhh." He said foolishly.

Just then he realised the danger that looms if he allowed this one
person to foil his plans. He dragged him into the room and stabbed him
in the process. He carefully laid him to the ground as blood trickled
out from his neck forming a pool around him. Okoro fastened the lock
once again and started undoing the screws as fast as he could.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Two police vans came to a halt at a junction by the right with a
signpost Khal corp. Clement who sat down with the driver inside the
first van picked his phone and dialled a number.
"Okoro, we just got to the Khal corp junction." Clement said.
"That's good. Let the second team move ahead of you towards the
next junction by the right, they should take the first turning and drive
along the untarred road. The Khal corp junction leads to the main gate
of the terrorist's hideout while the second juntion ahead leads to
their base camp. The second juntion ahead has an ambush and someone of
Mike's calibre should lead the team and engage in the shootout while you
slip behind them with your team while Mike's team hold them on for the
time being." Okoro explained to his boss.

"Like how much men are we talking here?" Clement asked.
"When I was brought in, About ten to fifteen men occupied the base
camp while at the main gate just four are guarding it from the inside.
The main building has over thirty men inside and the main target, Maleek
lives in the underground and their main hitman, Danger something lives
in the town with us." Okoro explained impatiently.
"We are on our way to get you out." Clement replied.
"Is there an evacuation team or backup team?" Okoro asked.
"District police command promised to send us a backup team
alongside a medical team if things get bloody." Clement replied.
"Okay." Okoro replied and the line went dead.
Clement ordered the men inside the two vans to get down as he adressed
them and the men numbering up to twenty listened to him with rapt
attention.
"Mike you lead the second team to the junction ahead and like I said
earlier, hold them for as long as you can while we slip in behind
them." He concluded.
Mike led his team back into the second van and drove off towards the second jucntion ahead. Clement did the same and drove into the Khal corp juntion on the right.
--to be continued--
Now is the time for action.

--continuation--
Clement was driving along the University express way with his partner,
Mike.
"There is something suspicious about Darasimi leaving for her lodge
and thank God I have you on ground to follow her. Now, our main target
is Deoye and we keep tabs on Darasimi." Clement said.
"Definitely. So how do we go about it?" Mike asked.
"Very simple. We'll stay put for now, you and I to avoid suspicion.
Habeeb will disguise as a student, then he'll try and get fact from
them. He has done this before anyways so we don't need to put him
through." Clement explained.
Just then his phone rang.
"Inspector Clement." He said on picking the call.
"CSP Haruna." The caller replied.
"Yes sir." He saluted even though he was not there in person. He
swerved off the road and parked by the roadside.
"Ngozi is up now and she is ready to take us to where the shootout
took place. Drop whatever case you are handling now and get down here
for the debriefing." Haruna explained.
"Am actually on my way back to the headquaters." He replied.
"Fine. We'll be expecting you."
Clement dropped the call and faced Mike who has been anticipating to
know what was discussed with the CSP.
"Its time to face Okoro's abductors. No more questioning and
student's trailing." Clement said smiling.
Understanding wht he meant by that, Mike smiled too.
Just before he(Clement) reignited the car, he put a call through to
his wife telling her he'll be a bit late.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Okoro stood up from the ground where he has been sitting and walked
towards the iron bar serving as the door into his cell. He strained his
hears to know if somebody is near his cell but the silence that
enveloped enveloped everywhere is a defeaning one. He shook the iron bar
to at least get someone's attention.
Just then a gunman walked in and approached his cell. Okoro smacked his
lips and smiled.
The gunman who had tribal marks which looks exactly like the one given
to babies in the nothern part of the country stood before Okoro, the
iron bar between them.
Okoro mumured some inaudible words to the man who couldn't speak
english. The man moved closer to the iron bar so he could hear him much
better but Okoro who had his plans all laid down grabbed the man's head
and forcefully pulled it untill it entered through the iron opening.
Now his neck is inside the cell and the other parts of his body stood
outside. The man screamed loud forgetting the fact that he had three
weapons with him, the Ak-47 which was hung along his shoulder, a
shortgun inside his hip holder and a knife which was clipped to his
trouser's waistband.
"Where is the key?" Okoro asked.
"Par! Walahi, key e no dey." The man managed to say amidst the
excruciating pain he was experiencing.
Okoro intensified the force being exerted on his head and when the man
was on the verge of passing out, the key jingled as a result of his
struggles. Okoro stretched his left hand and took the key from his
waist. He unlocked the door and used his right hand to squeeze life out of the man who still remained stuck to the bars.
Okoro at once picked the three weapons on him as well as his mobile phone and began his escape quest.
He walked in the direction where the man had come and saw a group of the gunmen who were enjoying themselves watching a young lady of about twenty five dance before them naked. They were touching her sensitive body parts and the lady gladly danced to their tunes. She can only refuse them if she is ready to die. Okoro knew the only way he could get out of there alive is if these dangerous men leaves the exit and he couldn't kill all of them. The best option is to distract them and slip out on them but first he needed to call Clement.
