Compulsory Marriage!
Season 2 Episode 23
Mary was back on Monday and just as SK promised, i started feeling uneasiness after eating
in the afternoon, the next thing i noticed was
on a bed that looks like hospital bed, i was
looking around but my eyes was not so clear at the initial stage, i saw four other beds with different people on them, i was still trying to
figure out where i was until someone shouted
“he is awake”, “ call the doctor he is awake”, A
lady in a white gown walked in…
Nurse: Praise the lord…..Thank you jesus, God answered our prayer finally
Me: Where am i?
Nurse: You are in a hospital….
Me: I know but where am i?
Nurse: Benin City, don’t worry, this is not the right time to talk, we need to administer some drugs on you right now since you are awake, maybe by tomorrow or day after you can start asking questions…
Me: I hope am safe? I want to start going home…please, they will kill me if they know
am here
Nurse: Nobody will kill you don’t wory, in fact the police are on your case and we will tell them you are now awake and i know they will provide security for you…don’t worry Sir, i know you also have a lot of questions but all will be answered, the most important thing for you now is not to worry about anything
“I started crying”
Nurse: Dont cry please, lemme call and inform the doctor…….
A female doctor came in not quite long, they stopped the drip that was on me and told me the best thing for me was to eat a tangible food. They sent someone rice and i was told that they would still need to pass blood into me as i
have lost a lot of blood……
Waking up the second day, I felt a lot better and a bit strong, i asked the doctor that was attending to me if i can get a phone to make
a call to my parents, a phone was given to me,
i called my mum and Biola, i could imagine how they felt on phone hearing my voice, my
mum was dancing on phone, i asked them to help me with some clothes on their way coming
to Benin……
I was told I had been unconscious, for nine days and I shouted.
The IPO in charge of my case later walked in like an hour later.
IPO: How are you feeling now?
Me: Am fine…
IPO: What is your name Sir?
Me: I am Snakie……..
IPO: Okay..you are from where?
Me: Am from Lagos?
IPO: where in Lagos? Your address
Me: Egbeda Sir……Please how did i get here sir
because if i could recollect, i was in Naoka the
last time i was conscious
IPO: Well our men in that location intercepted
some girls who were trying to drop you by the bush about two weeks ago, they exchanged
gun duel along the line, one of our men was killed and 3 of the girls were killed too while
one was captured alive
Me: That is good sir..which one of them was captured alive sir
IPO: She’s a bit tall and slim…….
Me: “thinking it might be SK”…okay sir
IPO: we will seriously need you to aid our investigation because we believe there are still other of them at large because the girl claimed that she was not part of them and
that she was also kidnapped along you…She
said you guys were in the same room when you died or something, she was shot on the
arm though and she has been treated. You will help us identify them so, which means you might not be able to go home so soon once doctor confirmed that you are fully fit….
Me: No problem sir….
IPO: What transaction do you have with the people that kidnapped you?
Me: Well, i was kidnapped on my wedding day and one of those girls was my ex girlfriend
which i didn’t even know she belong to a bad group, she was bittered that i didn’t marry her but how will i marry her when she was carrying another man’s pregnancy
IPO: which one of these is the girl you are talking about?
(He showed me the pictures of Opa, Flaky and Mary, i was so sure at that instant that SK
was the one that they didn’t kill”
Me: This one, her name is Mary, I know her parents’ house in Lagos and my family can
corroborate my story Sir……Some guys came to my house at night on my wedding day, they
disguised as a CID and dragged me to their car with assumption that they were taking me
to a police station. The next thing i saw was waking up in a lonely room, i was told they
drugged me in their car and drove me all the way
from Lagos to Naoka that night….
IPO: That is good, i think we are getting somewhere……Have you contacted your people?
Me: Yes of course…
IPO: So, aside this 3 girls, was there any other
people in that area? Like the guys that came to kidnap you at home?
Me: Though I used to hear some guys’ voices from the
room I was locked in with Simbiat.
IPO: Who is Simbiat?
Me: The other lady that they kidnapped us together, i met her at the place though, she
was there before me. I didn’t see any other guys except those 3 girls that always come
into the room to check on us
IPO: But doctor confirmed that you were given a drug which makes you unconscious
Me: Am not aware of that, all i remember was eating that fateful afternoon and waking up
here…
IPO: Thanks very much, i think we have heard enough for now but we will still need you at
the station once you are certified okay
Me: No problem sir
IPO: I think we will be taking our leave now doctor
Doctor: thank you so much officer…
They all left the room, My mum, dad and Biola arrived the hospital later in the evening. Biola hugged me and couldn’t control her emotions as I started crying too….
