Work of the Devil?????------Asabe Episode 13

Douglas immediately put a call through to Otunba ;

Douglas: Sir, Please you need to come over to the station

Otunba: Is it necessary? Just lock them up for now, I need to focus on Dotun, he’s been through a lot .

Douglas: You need to hear their confessions

Otunba; Ok, if you insist, would be on my way shortly.

Oloori: Where are you going to?

Otunba: To the station, Douglas needs my attention

Oloori: Can I come with you?

Otunba: That  won’t be necessary

Oloori: Why do you think I can’t be helpful in all of this??? You have succeeded in sidelining me all through this! Dotun is my son too.

Otunba: Woman, please not now, I don’t need all of that.

              Oloori, got a pair of foot wear, and dragged herself to the car, she was looking like a left over pizza, struggling with her adire head tie, Otunba was not please with the way she looked,

Otunba: Madam, you can’t go with me looking like this!

Oloori: well you’ve seen me in my worst, so what’s new? Is this supposed to be making headlines???Plsssss!

Otunba: Ok I will wait for you, go and dress properly

Oloori: Sure?

Otunba: (nodded in affirmation)

They got to the Police station and went in to see Douglas;

Douglas: ah! My Oga… You are welcome Sir! Ooh Madam is here too, you are welcome Ma’am

Otunba& Oloori: Thank you very much

Otunba: So what is their confession?

Douglas: ermm it’s better you hear from the horse’s mouth

Douglas: Sergeant Okon!

Sergeant Okon: Shun Sir!

Bring those kidnappers in

Sergeant Okon: Yes Sir

Sergeant Okon made his way to the cell and brought them to Douglas’s office.

Douglas: Good, so Capon can you repeat what you said earlier?

Capon: I said it’s Madam Lydia who paid us to kidnap Dotun(As soon as Oloori heard this she started sweating profusely  and took off her gele)

Douglas: Madam please take it easy, Okon please increase the AC, Capon go on

Capon: and we got info from all that was discussed in the house through Ekaette!

Oloori (started crying) ……….Ekaette? A girl I picked from the gutters and cleaned up? and treated her like my own daughter?

Otunba: You see why I didn’t want you to come with me? Let me call Dan

Otunba puts a call through to Mr. Dan;

Otunba: Hello Dan

Mr. Dan: Morning Sir…

Otunba: ooooh jare oremi, Where are you?

Dan: I came to get Laraba a birthday gift, its her birthday today.

Otunba; Oh nice, my regards to her, please can you meet me at the police station?

Dan: yes Sir, hope all is well

Otunba: Yes, I’m just in some sort of situation, I need your suggestion on some issues here>

Dan: Ok, I will be there in less than 15minutes

Otunba: that’s fine!

Mr Dan got to the station in about 16 minutes and was intimated on all that had been said by the culprits, he was sad! But Otunba made sure they brought out the culprits,  so he could hear from them directly…..Dan was very miserable, deep down within him, he knows Lydia can be very wicked, but he never envisaged she could go this far….the heart of a woman though*(he thought to himself)

Otunba: Dan, you are my friend, the right thing to do is to detain Lydia and Ekaette, but for our friendship and the kids, I won’t allow her to be detained, as for Ekaette, I will ask my driver to buy her a ticket to Akwa-ibom right away, she’s leaving my house in less than two hours, Douglas please send your men to Dan’s house.

Douglas: Yes Sir!!!

 Lydia was brought in for Questioning;

Otunba: Lydia why did you have to go that far? Do you dislike Asabe that much, she is supposed to be your daughter for crying out loud!

Lydia:I don’t understand Sir

Douglas: Okon bring Capon and others,she will probably understand when she sees them

As soon as Capon sighted Madam Lydia,he said;

‘Yes na she be this, this is the woman who paid us to kidnap your son Sir’

Madam Lydia: ( fell on her knees and started crying) Please forgive me, it’s the work of the devil, please Oloori, help me beg Otunba,it’s the work of the devil….pleaaassssseeeee I am sorry

Mr. Dan: ooooh please zip it! Which devil? Or do you think you can lay false accusation on the devil because of course the devil is ashamed to defend himself? Just go home and pack your things,I don’t want to set my eyes on you again, go to your father’s house and continue what you know best….KIDNAPPING!

Otunba: Naaaa c’mon Dan ,it hasn’t gotten to that extent(meanwhile the way Oloori was looking at Lydia, she could tear to pieces if allowed) be a man, I’m the one who is suppose to be this angry but I’m not. Oloori please go home and make sure I don’t meet Ekaette in my house when I get back. Dan?

Mr. Dan: Sir>

Otunba: Lets go do some bottles…..perhaps that would calm you down.

Douglas!(Otunba called and  shook hands with him) You did a great job, as for the culprits…they can keep chilling here, till I make up my mind on what to do with them.

Douglas: yes Sir!

Mr. Dan and Otunba drove in Mr. Dan’s car to the club….

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end!

Ekaette is involved???who else?? find out on Asabe Episode 12

Otunba: Hello  Douglas!...... Hello can you hear me…..Helllooooooo?

Douglas: Sir, yes I can hear you now………

Otunba: Ok, hope you have some good news?

Douglas:  Not really Sir,We just realised that  they have moved Dotun from this location, somehow they must have heard we were coming, Sir we need to do some background check, there seems to be an insider divulging  information.

Otunba: Gaddddammitttt! What are you saying???? Can you please do your job and stop looking for flimsy excuses for your failure! I don’t have time for these nonsense!

Douglas: Sir please calm down ,I know how you feel……

Otunba: Oh no you don’t! you are not the one with a missing son, are you?

Douglas:  Sir, Please trust me on this…… I am sure of what I just told you.

Otunba: Ok I do not want any Police intervention anymore, I will be dealing with the abductors myself.

Douglas: I get that Sir( Knowing very well what Otunba meant by that ) so now just watch it , they will call you soon to re-negotiate ,because the insider will definitely get in touch with them.

Otunba: Ok, bye for now.

Douglas: just send me a ping once they make any attempt to reach you.

Otunba: Yea….regards to your wife.

Douglas: All correct Sir.

 

Otunba went upstairs to meet Oloori and told her  that the wedding has to be deferred pending when they find Dotun and that he no longer wants the police to be involved.

Oloori: Aahhhh, what did you just say???? Yaayyy! My enemies are at  it…you don’t want to use the policemen anymore, what do you want to use? Oh ok, the army? (Started dragging Otunba’s shirt and crying) Give me my son ….Give me my son oooooohhh.

Otunba: Woman! Please give me a break; it’s not easy for me too. You see the problem is not the problem, the problem is your attitude about the problem, keep a positive attitude please.

(Phone rings*)

Otunba: Hello!

Kidnappers: Oga….make we yan now…because we nor get patience for this matter again oh

Otunba: Ok ….what do you want this time?

Kidnappers: Now you don de yan! Ok back to the matter*** we have been informed you no longer want to involve the police

Otunba: You’re right about that !

Kidnappers: Ok good! We will for the last time give you an address where you can drop the money, as soon as you do this, your son would be on his way home,as a matter of fact we are tired of feeding him, he eats a lot and if you don’t answer us this time, he might just die out of hunger.

Otunba: thanks for the second chance, I will personally go and drop the money there.

( End of call)

Oloori: Please ehen Oko mi( my husband) go and drop the money there so we can put this behind us.

Otunba: I will, you should know I miss my son too, I haven’t been a happy father for days now.

Oloori: By God’s grace we will be victorious.

 

Douglas: Hello Sir, any update

Otunba: Hmmm, yes but I need to get to the club, I have to meet with Alhaji Waziri for an update on the last grass root campaign.

Douglas: I understand Sir, will meet you there asap!

(Ends the call)

Oloori: ehn???? Which meeting? Laye! Not when my son is still missing……..you’re not going anywhere

Otunba: Woman! Please let me be! Whether I go for this meeting or not, it has nothing to do with finding our son, so let me just go

Oloori: *crying and screaming* how can you even think of your political ambition during a period like this? OMG! I can’t believe this!

Otunba took his car key and phones and left the house, he didn’t reveal to Oloori that he was going to see Douglas at the club,as soon as he got to the club, as a Premium member, he gained access to the VVIP section and waited patiently for Douglas.

Douglas joined in about 26mins time and he gave him the address he was sent by the Abductors,they agreed to stay far off from each other so no one has a clue that the police is still on the case, in fact Otunba changed his name on his contact list ,just so that whenever his calls come in no one will know its Douglas calling.

 Three days later  Otunba got the 40 million naira available and followed the abductors instructions carefully, Douglas sent a female officer by name Bella who could be mistaken for a mad woman because of the way she was dressed, Bella followed Otunba from a distance and monitored the entire process and as soon as Otunba was heading back, Bella notified Douglas about the abductors location and that was how they were caught.

Dotun was released and was under a lot of scrutiny by the meds, the head of Kidnappers was dealt with by the policemen and afterwards taken in for questioning, he was addressed by his colleagues as Capon, his colleagues said it was a woman who gave them the contract but that only Capon has the woman’s details

Douglas: So Capon, are you ready to tell us who gave you the contract of abducting Dotun?

Capon:Oga , you go need kill me oh, because this woman paid me not to call her name.

Douglas called other policemen who were on standby to torture Capon till they can get him to tell the truth

Douglas: truly I will kill you, I am not scared to, Officers?

Officers: Sir!

Douglas; take care of him

Officers: Yes Sir!

The officers tortured him in a very cruel way

Capon: * screaming, groaning and pleading* ok I will talk, I say I will talk please!

Douglas: Good, so who is this woman?

Capon: Madam Lydia….Oga Dan’s wife!

Douglas: watttttttttt????????? Dear Lord!

Capon: yes Sir

Douglas : But she doesn’t stay in Otunba’s house, so how were you able to know everything discussed about this kidnap case in Otunba’s house?

Capon: She paid Otunba’s cook- Ekaette !

Traditional marriage withheld?????- Episode 11- Asabe

Madam Lydia was very much involved with  preparations for Asabe’s traditional wedding, she was all over the place organizing asoebi , everyone was surprised but happy about her change of attitude , Mr. Dan knowing his wife so well knew there was more to this her ‘happy and caring mother attitude’, he called Asabe privately and told her to be careful with Lydia;

BRING BACK OUR GIRLS!

This is just heartbreaking, its over 3 weeks now and these girls are yet to be released
 We can't even begin to imagine what these children are going through, the kind of pain their parents are in.
I know most of us don't even know where to start from with this whole situation, but you can start with a word of prayer and let's keep believing that with the help Nigeria is getting, we would be victorious.

#BRINGBACKOURGIRLS

ASABE Episode 10

Elegant! Perfect! Flawless! These are words that come to mind when you see how graceful Asabe’s makeover was done, a touch of royalty could be seen as the lovely beads adorned her neck, these beads were the same beads Otunba’s wife used during her time, the beads are of a strong family value to the Otunbas  oh yea saying she looked pretty was an understatement as Asabe sat next to her  Dotun it was like a dream come through. Dotun came with his people to seek Asabe’s hand in marriage, everyone was present  except Madam Lydia who claimed she had to go to Dubai for holidays.

ASABE Episode 9

Asabe’s visa application was successful, and as a result Mr Dan and Otunba started planning the introduction/traditional wedding and of course the church wedding, Madam Lydia had no idea what volcano was about to erupt in her house, she deprived Asabe of the monthly pocket money Mr. Dan usually set aside for the kids, but Dotun always made sure Asabe was comfortable, at least that would be his duty soon.

Mr. Dan got some of the elders in the family to discuss the upcoming introduction/traditional wedding of Asabe, they were all very excited except for Mr. Godswill who was very inquisitive about why Mr.Dan came alone and not with his wife Madam Lydia:

Mr. Godswill: In as much as you brought a good news ,I still think you took the wrong approach to this, it would have been better if you came with our sister in-law.

Elder Johnny: What does it matter? After all the bible specifically said ‘ and two  shall become one’…He’s here to represent the wife and the kids….i do not see anything wrong with him coming alone?

Mr. Godswill: ehhhhhh I smell a rat oooo Elder Johnny

Elder Johnny: it doesn’t matter if you smell a fish, (and then he turns to every other person seated) please lets drink to the good news our son brought us.

Mr. Dan knew Mr. Godswill has always been close to Madam Lydia as she always made it a point of duty to give him some money even when he doesn’t deserve it, so he to some extent understood his what his issues were and decided to keep quiet so as not to make a scene by trading words with an elder and therefore be tagged rude.

Mr Dan knew there was trouble, he knew Mr. Godswill will try all his best to reach Madam Lydia and then he wouldn’t know what to say, he immediately called Asabe and told her all that went on,they agreed she was going to claim pregnant and not ready to terminate the pregnancy, everyone was put in the picture- Dotun and his parents, so on getting home Mr. Dan called Madam Lydia and told her Asabe is pregnant for Dotun and he thinks the best thing to do as Christians is to allow her marry Dotun ,as abortion is not an option

Madam Lydia: OMG!!! What are you saying Dan???????? Abortion is not an option but fornication is right??? Can you hear yourself, you < an elder in the church of Christ ,have you forgotten what the bible said about a bed undefiled????????? I can’t believe this is happening to me. ( she walked to the mini bar and helped herself with a glass of whiskey, yes! Madam always takes a shot when she is vexed, probably a way to calm her nerves)

Mr. Dan : Lydia you dare talk to me about a bed undefiled?????????You are not in the right position to preach that part of the gospel trust me! Have you forgotten how we met?????? And oh! you should be taking a soft wine not that strong whiskey, because I brought you good news(tickles her)

Madam Lydia: oooohh pls spare me! You definitely didn’t meet me standing by Sanusi Fafunwa street at night,did you?

Mr.Dan : well I am against abortion and as such this wedding will hold with or without you, after  all, the family in question has been our close knit for years now .

Madam Lydia: Wait a minute… you seem not to shocked by the news of the pregnancy, something tells me there is more to this news of yours…..but not to worry I will find out, I just hope you are not part of this conspiracy, because this house will be too small for you and I, that boy should have married Laraba, that was the grand plan.

Mr. Dan: You and who had that as a plan????? You are forgetting that Laraba and Asabe are my daughters and I love them equally, please don’t use your witchcraft to plant a seed of discord amongst sisters, its not their fault that you never  knew what it felt like having a sister

Madam Lydia: You can say whatever you like, but I am not going to give up Dan….unlike you I fight till the very end!

Mr. Dan: Lydia the warrior, please do not fight my daughter’s joy ….i beg you in God’s name…because if you do, you will regret the day you agreed to be called my wife…..Lydia DO NOT DARE ME!!!

Mr. Dan walked out of the living room, went upstairs with a bottle of red wine and cigar to calm his nerves as his wife really got him worked up.

Two days later the women wing of the party had a political rally, Otunba’s wife(Oloori) saw Madam Lydia and jokingly called out…..My in-law ba wo ni (how are you)

Madam Lydia: Madam, if not for the regards I have for you and your husband I wouldn’t have answered you

Otunba’s Wife:  aaah, kilode(what happened)….don’t worry we are coming to do it the proper way, they are children, they should have known better than to be in this position

Madam Lydia: how can Dotun get my daughter pregnant outside wedlock, does he know the shame that comes with this action especially for the family of the girl in question????

Otunba’s Wife: Yes, it would have been a shame if we do not have plans of coming to ask for her hand in marriage, but we are coming for that, at least as soon you people give us a date.

Madam Lydia: hmmmm, no date yet oooh, Dotun has to come and apologise for putting Asabe in a family way, when he isn’t married to her yet…..

Otunba’s Wife: My dear sister you should calm down, for God’s sake the girl in question isn’t below 18years of age and it wasn’t a case of rape…..this is a case of two consenting adults, you were the one talking about shame just now, do you want her stomach to start protruding before we come to marry her?

Madam Lydia: Do I care if you don’t come at all? Meanwhile how is Dotun sure he is responsible for the pregnancy???

Otunba’s Wife: *mogbe*Well you can ask him that question if he eventually comes to tender his apologies…..oni iranu oshi

Madam Lydia: yea…whatever that means…..*sigh* like I care

Both women went their separate ways.

Dotun the following day went to see Madam Lydia to tender his apologies

Madam Lydia: So what do you want? I gave you a better option for a wife but you made your choice, guess you just prefer terrible options

Dotun: well ma’am , I am sorry if I disappointed you. I just came to say I am sorry to have gotten Asabe pregnant outside wedlock, as soon as we agree on a date we would let yourself and daddy know.

Madam Lydia: Not like I care if you don’t marry her at all or let her stomach protrude before you marry her, at least the world will come to see how useless a child she is* sips her glass of wine*

Dotun quietly took his leave as he wasn’t very sure if she’s okay or high on some crack shit! Just as he was driving out of the compound Laraba was coming in;

Laraba: Hi

Dotun:Hey

Laraba: was told we are in-laws to be, nice!

Dotun: yea

Laraba: look, not withstanding all the drama that has gone on, I wish yourself and my sister all the best.

Dotun: Thank you.

Laraba: please forgive my mum about whatever it is she must have said to you,plus what she will say in future, you are now family , I’m sure you will soon get familiar with her plenty unnecessary drama

Dotun: * smiles* ok dear, I have to run now…..talk to you later!

Laraba: bye !

I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.        -Mathew 16:18
