**A DANCE IN THE GRAVEYARD**

Episode 5

I was in the confusion of joining or not joining
the terrorist. But
as soon as I remembered how Rose was crying
on the phone, I knew I had
no choice. I was waiting for anyone of them to
contact me so as to
tell them my decision. I waited for about two
hours, after which I
received a call
Me: “hello”
Unknown: “so have you decided?”
Me: “I don’t think I have a choice now”.
Unknown: “Good. There are just three steps to
join us. 1. Write a
resignation letter and put it in your
commandant’s tent”.
Me: “but my commandant is dead”.
Unknown: “I know already. Have you forgotten
quickly that we were the
ones who shot the fool. I told you before, you
can never defeat us,
you are just trying. 2. Pack all your things in
the camp and stay
with it in your tent. 3. Just lie on the ground
with your head facing
down and leave any other thing for us to
handle and this should be
done in 15 minutes. Your time starts now”
*ends the call*
I actually did what I was instructed to do in
the exact way. As I was
on the ground I heard footsteps towards me
and the person used an
object I don’t know to hit me. That's all I knew
until I was woken up in
a dark and big room. When I became
conscious, I saw so many hefty men
wearing military uniforms. After which I
noticed a man sitting on a big
wooden chair, under a source of light. It was a
big surprise to me
that it was the General himself. I mean
General Idowu. As soon as I
recognised him, I was shocked and he noticed.
And he started talking;
General Idowu: “look my boy, don’t be surprise
its me. Yes its me. Are
you still surprised? Wait do you think anyone
else can trouble the
military when I’m not in support? Well let me
tell you my reason; I
have friends everywhere. They produce
weapons. How will they eat if
they don’t sell them? How will we sell them if
there is no demand? And
where will demand come from when
everywhere is at peace. My boy there
should a war, so that some people like us can
be billionaires. Look
here, as soon as I acquire all I want for
myself, there will be an end
to everything. I’m not alone in this. I have
someone very exciting to
show you…. *lanre come out from the dark to
the light spot* we know
you to be very intelligent and skilled right
from the Academy, that’s
why we purposely made lanre your best friend
so that he will make it
easy for us to convince you. And don’t forget
your fiancee. So you can
see, you don’t really have a choice than to
just join us. If you join
us, you will be collecting 25 percent of every
profit we make. If you
don’t, we will kill your fiancee right in front
you and punish you
till you die yourself. So you have just a few
minutes to decide”
I didn’t have any other option than to join
them. Papers were
brought to me to sign some agreements
pertaining to my membership and
the profit I will be making. As I was about to
sign with the pen
Major-General Yaro Yusuf gave to me, I
noticed a dull red light
blinking on top of the pen. As a military
intelligence, I knew what
that means, that’s definitely a tracker. Major
Yaro knew nothing about
it and he knows something like this is going to
happen. I knew a
rescue was going to happen but how? I don’t
know. All of them went
away thinking I will sign the document
immediately. I switched on the
phone Major gave to me, a text message was
already there waiting. And
it says “I know where you are now, don’t say
anything until I get
there -Musa Yusuf”. I knew already that a
fight is going to happen.
I was already tired of all the threats and all
that was happening at
that moment. Suddenly, the led of the pen
became green and so bright.
Tear gas was released through the window.
Someone forcefully opened
the door. “Stand down Richard”. I knew it was
Major Musa already. I
ran out of the place and armed myself.
Everywhere was so quiet as if I
was the only one in that building. Suddenly,
bullets were coming from
the dark, we took cover immeditely. One of the
reinforcement died
immediately. With all anger, we unleashed
explosives inside the
building and we ran out. We brought down the
building. Many of the
other guys died and we opened fire and killed
all of them until it
remained the General who was injured already.
Major: Idowu, what a man you are. I heard all
you said through the
pen, which was not just a tracker but also a
little walkie-talkie.
Because of your selfish interest, you
threatened my life and family. I
will give you my last honour with my bullet.
And to you Richard, thank
you for making the pen your best friend
because Lanre is not.
The Major shot Gen. Idowu dead. The
president himself was told about
how everything happened. Major Musa became
the new chief of Army staff
and I was also promoted to be a senior officer
at lagos. I told you I
would tell you my location. Well, I’m presently
preparing for my
wedding now and Rose is here with me. Wish
us well. Thanks for your time
and bye bye.

SeyiDominion:
I shook my head in disbelief.

'Now, Mr. Sunday Aloh, what can you say to this?' Mrs. Obenbe who also doubled as the committee chairperson asked.

'All that Christy said were tissues of lies,' I began. I went on to tell them how I had decided to end my affairs with her and how she had vowed that I could not just 'dump' her like that.

'I didn't even want to do anything with her last night,' I concluded. 'She made me to do it.'

'You mean she still encouraged you to do 'it' after you have made her to sleep off?' Mr. Lanre, a man I suspected hated my guts, asked.

'It's a lie from the pit of hell that I made her to fall asleep,' I said. 'Nothing like that ever happened. She was awake and alert through out the
time she was with me.'

They asked me to excuse them for a minute. By the time I was called in again, the august committee was ready to give its verdict.

'Mr. Aloh, you are hereby found guilty of indecent conduct and rape,' Mrs. Obenbe said summarily. 'And you're suspended from engagement
with this school indefinitely until further notice. Go and hand over all the school books in your care to your Head of Department.'

That was the verdict. I rose to my feet and returned to the staff-room. No one believed me, I thought grimly. No one believed that I did not rape
her. The fact was Christy was the one that should be charged and found guilty of indecent behaviour, but see how the table had been turned
against me.

I was packing my books when the suspension letter came. Everything was so fast. It was as if they were eager to get rid of me. I handed the
school books in my care to my HOD and left the school. He expressed sympathy for my ordeal, which was like cold comfort. It was only when I
was outside the premises that I decided to call Faith.

'Hello, darling,' I started. 'How're you?'

'Fine, Love. I'll be over to your staff room to see you during break.'

'Something terrible has happened, my dear.'

I could hear her as she caught her breath. 'What? What happened?'

'I've been accused of rape and have been suspended indefinitely.'

'What!' Her shock was palpable. 'You raped a female student?'

'No, it was not a student. The accusation was from one of the cleaners, the one called Christy.'

'Oh God, you raped Christiana?'

I winced. 'No, I didn't rape her. She was in my house and something happened between us, but I never raped her.'

'I can't believe this. You mean Christiana and you were lovers? Why then did you deceive me into starting a relationship with you?'

'I didn't deceive you. I told her it was all over between us and her bitterness led to this accusation.'

'But how would she make such an allegation if indeed you didn't do it?'

I sighed in exasperation. Yes, I knew the odds were against me, but I expected Faith to show some understanding. 'Can you make it to my place
this evening? I will tell you the whole truth and nothing but the truth.'

**A DANCE IN THE GRAVE YARD**

Episode 4

After those words of encouragement from the
General, I was escorted
half way back to the camp by the personal
guards of the General. It
was convincing that they were military men
but they didn’t belong to
the Nigerian Army. When I got back to the
camp, I was quite surprised
that no one knew about my movement,
everyone was fast asleep. As I was
about sleeping, my phone alerted me of a new
message. The message was
quite surprising and scary. The message
reads: “hello young soldier, I
know about your movement. Be very careful.
Don’t go further”. I knew
immediately that it was the Major. The hatred
for this man as at this
time was really and truly established. I was so
determined to take him
out. “Musa, just cross my way and let my
bullet do the talking” I
thought to myself.
Terrorist attacks which was the order of the
day at that present
moment manifested again, terrorists were
along our borders. But this
time, Major Musa Yusuf himself led us out. It
was surprising to myself
and Lanre. To be sincere, Major Musa is good
at war combat. All his
commands were straight and precise. We
killed over a hundred that day
without using any of our explosives.
Unfortunately, one of us was
injured by the action of a bullet from the
enemies. He was quickly
taken to a hospital at the capital for proper
treatments. He survived.
That night, we celebrated like we use to. That
night was the first
night Major Musa is going to celebrate with
us. We could see the joy
all over his face. “Could he want to disguise
as if he is not the one who
sent me the text? Musa you can’t deceive me.”
I thought to myself. In
fact, he gave we the new recruits gifts. Shirts,
trousers, money to my
colleagues. But when it came to my turn, what
he gave to me was a
surprise. A pen and a nokia torch light phone,
in hypocrisy I gave him
a salute. On the pen I could observe that there
was an inscription on
it. And it says; “make this pen your best
friend”. I immediately
looked into his eyes and he gave me a nod.
The major was trying to
pass me a message. After everything that
night, we went to sleep. I
switched on the phone the Major gave me
while on my mat, something
interesting came up again. The welcome
message was; “I will resign
soon. My reasons? You will know one day”.Its
now confusing, the Major
is no more the bad guy, then who is? I slept
that night in confusion.
The next morning, we had our drill. This time,
it was fun-filled as
the major himself led us and he was telling us
the story of himself as
a young soldier. A quite interesting story but
after the story, he
broke many of my colleagues heart by
announcing his personal
retirement. Everyone was shocked but not me,
I was only eager to know
why he wants to resign and not retire in the
future. “But listen, I’m
going to come back, not as a Major but
something else” that was his
last words to us. We had a 21 gun-shoot
salute in his honour. My
situation became the person who wants to see
with a dark light, I was
confused.
Days after, another commandant was sent to
us, his name was
Major-General Demola Johnson. He was quite
gentle and cool. His own
drills were too stressful. But with time, we
adapted.
On my mat one day, I received a call;
Me:” hello”
Unknown: “hello soldier”
Me: “who is this?”
Unknown: “you don’t just want to know me”.
Me: “so what do you want”
Unknown: “we know your tactics and plans.
We also know that you are
intelligent. We offer you an open arms to join
us. Do you think you
can conquer us? Ahahahaha I laugh. We only
send our weak ones to you,
so that we can know your abilities. You guys
are quite good but we are
better. Now here are your options, join us or
don’t plan with them,
else….”
*ends the call*
I was beginning to hate myself as a soldier. I
was confused. I
couldn’t tell anyone because they wouldn’t
understand. That was the
beginning of the dance.
The biggest of all the attacks came on a friday
evening. About five
states were attacked at the same time, so
there was no room for any
troop helping another. All man for himself.
During this attack, Major
Demola and some other colleagues were killed.
Lanre fled but to a
place I don’t know. My fear came back
immediately. But I took courage
to drive an armoured tank to attack the
enemies, Col. Yaro joined me.
I didn’t stop firing until all of them fled and I
could see no one.
Although I conquered but wasn’t happy. Going
straight to my tent I
received a call.
Me: “hello”
Unknown: it seems you are adamant, say hello
to someone…..*another
voice came up* Richard, its me Rose. I was
taken this morning. Please
help me. I know where……” *call ends*. She
was crying on the
phone.
My commandant dead, my friend missing, my
fiancee kidnapped. I only
have the option to join them. All man for
himself.

Lemme complete the story sef

All of you no kuku wan comment
