Prologue
A farmer was heading to his farm through a narrow path around the thick bush, his four children hurriedly walked behind him in close pace. It had rained heavily the night before and had left the ground very mushy for easy cultivation. While the farmer and his children kept matching on along the lonely path, one of the children made excuse into the bush to go ease himself as the others ignored him and forged ahead. While the young boy squirted and was at it, he turned to see something strange laying still beside him, he strained his eyes and had a closer look, he immediately screamed out so loud on realizing what it was.
____
Five hours later, the scene of the footpath to the farm witnessed heavy presence of various security personnel, journalist and medical practitioners all doing their jobs. The lifeless body of a young woman had been found in the bush, a deep slash in her throat from ear to ear was a clear evidence for security officers that she had been gruesomely murdered many hours ago by probably a psychopath. Her mouth was covered with a cloth, her hands tied together with red fabric and her eyes were still wide open that one would have thought at a careless glance that she was alive.

“Any identification yet?” Detective Agnes a tall dark lady asked while she walked up to a man who was standing close enough in observing the dead woman within the taped area.

“I’m afraid yes, and it’s no good news” Detective Imran replied without turning back. He already knew who it was merely by the pitchy voice. He had earlier put a call to Agnes his partner telling her to come meet him at the scene as quick as possible.

“Wow! This is bad” she exclaimed after seeing the corpse that had turned a sea blue-green color, making it difficult to recognize the victim even at a closer look. Her skin had molded much like a burnt old bread, flies buzzing around the swollen body that laid carelessly. It oozed so badly like there are a million dead and rotten rats around. The smell got into Agnes throat and she could almost taste the thick stench hanging in the air. She had the urge to literally run to find some fresh air as she was sure the horrific image would hunt her for weeks. “Who is she?” she managed to asked as she covered her nose with a handkerchief.

“It’s Ashley Shida” Another voice from beside Agnes replied, sounding so convinced. She quickly turned and saw a young man standing beside her with a small camera and was busy taking pictures. Agnes concluded he must be a journalist, probably a freelance judging by his boyish and bookish outfit.

“And who is Ashley Shida?” she inquired.

The young journalist appeared so surprised by the question, “You mean you don’t know Ashley Shida of the campus radio?” the young man inquired.

Agnes slowly shook her head trying hard to remember if she had ever listened to the campus radio or any of its kind at late, as she had always been busy.

“She is also the deputy governor’s daughter” Imran chipped in, he knew Agnes would be quick to relate to that. He wasn’t surprise when he saw her froze with shock all over her face.

“You mean Rashidat Koker? She asked with her eyes widen in horror and a heart wishing it wasn’t true.

“Yes” both men chorus.

One day after Shida’s death
The news of the gruesome murder of the young pretty On-air sweet personality of the campus radio and also the only daughter of the deputy governor soon went round the entire city, every media house made it a breaking news as soon as possible, everyone who knew the famous Ashley Shida really missed her for her sweet, soothing and witty character on the campus radio. Majority of the newspapers had a beautiful image of her and had beside it another one taken from the crime scene with a bold caption ‘Who killed our radio sweetheart?’
_______
Few hours ago, the daughter of the deputy governor chief Moshood Koker was declared missing after her car was seen abandoned on the road, it was made a top priority case by the police and other security agencies within and outside the state. The case was handed over to Imran and Agnes the two detectives in the state. They had applied every possible means to locate her but it had appeared fruitless not until she was later found dead.

An autopsy report submitted by the forensic pathologist to detective Agnes showed a deep, oblique, long incised injury was found on the front neck. There were no hesitant or defense injuries, the primary cause of death was cut throat. The left end of the injury started below the ear at upper third of the neck and deepened gradually with severance of the left carotid artery. The right sided end of the injury was at the mid third of the neck with a tail abrasion and the lungs showed aspiration of blood.

“My goodness!” Agnes banged her table in disbelieve, she had just read through the autopsy report and from it she deduced Ashley Shida had been a month pregnant. She ran off to Imran’s office and told him about it, he brushed through the report.

“I’m sure this would lead us to the murderer” Detective Imran said convincingly.

“How?”

“Her boyfriend, a girl like her must have a boyfriend”

Agnes began to nod her head thoughtfully “You mean her boyfriend must have killed her?”

“Most likely”

“But why? What reason has he?”

“Probably try to bury her and the pregnancy away from his life or perhaps this boyfriend has likely got a crazy ex-girlfriend. I’m not sure but at least we’ve got a link”. He picked up his car key from the table “Come on let’s go” he said before he and Agnes dashed off through the door.

Within couples of minutes of interrogating students in the campus, the two detectives soon located Jay-boy in his luxurious apartment off-campus. Jay-boy was taken to the police station where he was seriously interrogated about his relationship with Ashley Shida. He admitted they had been in a romantic relationship for a while but had broken up about three months ago because she had caught him cheating on her with another lady. Jay-boy showed the detectives the text messages she had sent to him three months ago swearing never to have anything to do with him. And both had not set eyes on each other since then. Jay-boy was let go with a stern warning to be available for further interrogation till the case is solved.

“I don’t trust this guy, I feel there is more to his story he is not telling” Imran said as soon as Jay-boy walked out of the interrogating room.
Agnes looked surprised, “I thought same thing but why did you suggest we let him go?”

“So we can have our eyes on him from afar now that he believes he is free”.

Just at that moment, Imran’s phone rang, it was an unknown caller, and he picked up and pressed the phone to his ear.
“Hello, this is detective Imran on the line, who am I speaking with?”

“If you wish to unravel the mystery to Rashidat’s death, get the deputy governor to tell you the truth about what really happened on the night of February 14, 1994” A female voice hurriedly poured from the other side of the line. The line went off as Imran was about to inscribed the information on a piece of paper.

“Damn it!” Imran grunted

“An anonymous call?” Agnes asked not looking much surprised.

“Yes” he knew it will be of no use trying to call back the number as the caller would never pick the call, he had experienced many of such cases and this one wouldn’t be any different.

“What do we have?”

“February 14, 1994. A date connecting the deputy governor to his own daughter’s death”

Agnes looked puzzled “That’s like Nineteen years ago? How does that have to do with this present case?”

“I don’t know but I think we need to go visit the deputy governor first thing tomorrow morning”

***

Chief Moshood Koker couldn’t make sense of the speculations which he had taken to be much of an allegation laid on him by the two detectives, and so was his young wife Flora Koker who believed the detectives were only acting on mere speculation by opposition parties aimed at tarnishing her husband’s political image.The deputy governor encouraged the detectives to work harder and promised them his support when necessary but not when he had earlier stated to them that the date was when his wife died and they could investigate further into it if it would help solve the mystery behind his daughter’s death.

On the way back to the police station, Imran drove quietly with Agnes beside him, both felt so confused. As soon as they got to the office, both of them searched through the record store and found a police report relating to Chief Moshood Koker about nineteen years ago. According to the report in the file, Moshood Koker had been earlier suspected of his wife’s death due to an anonymous report but had been dismissed due to lack of concrete evidence and most importantly, someone else had been found guilty.

“I do not see how this is helpful” Imran said after carefully going through the report for the third time hoping to find a link to the present case. He sighed heavily “I think the deputy governor is right, anyone with a phone could had simply called to implicate him. I must have been stupid to believe for a minute that he probably had got something to do with his daughter’s death”

“You are right, but again maybe it’s not about the present case the caller wants us to look into, maybe it’s the previous one” noted Agnes while she went through the report.

“What do you mean?”

“Look again at the report” She passed a picture from a file to Imran, in it was the image of an unclad woman tied up, around her throat was an open wound. “It says Dupe went missing for days before she was found dead with her throat slashed open as well”

Imran appeared shocked and amused at the realization, “Are you saying that it was the same person who killed Dupe nineteen years ago was the same person that killed Rashidat?”

“I would like to assume that is what the caller wants us to look into”

I swear to god 'intresting' is an understatement. I no fit sleep until i read am finish. It feels i was watching an advanced naija version of How To Get Away With Murder. The way and manner u described how shida died towards the end got me thinking u must be a psychopath in real life, bros i dey fear u. But my only problem is that u never explained what later happened to Moshood for killing Dupe and Bridget...or does it haf a part2.
