VIOLATION OF A GOOD MAN : EPISODE 1 – THE END
EPISODES 4
My heart became weary and I wanted to push up the daisies when they shackled my wrist, t®rturing me with an electric iron.
My visage was very tubby and swollen.
My back was very h ot on me with sweat like substance flowing effusively from it.
It was a brush with de ath and they didn’t stop h itting me with the ele¢tric lron until another police officer came in.
“It’s okay, you’ll do this again in the evening,” He said as though he was long in the tooth.
The policemen were disappointed and one of them looked at me with contempt as he was freeing my chained wrists.
They all left with foam at their mouth.
Bruises were all over my body and I was laying with my stomach on the ground.
Shedding of tears was now my avocation as I wept continuously.
I was subjected to hopelessness and desperateness.
“I can’t believe Nkechi and my daughter would do all these to me,” I said in my mind melancholy.
I loved her so much and I didn’t think my life would be complete without her.
Later that day, I eavesdropped on the police officers discussing surreptitiously. It was on a h ot afternoon and the cell was really h ot as h’ll
“The CSP said that there is no need to charge him to court, he’ll be hung by hangmen in the evening,” one of them said.
“Yes! no one had come to bail him, at a large amount of money is handed over to the CSP, he would release the young man” the other one uttered.
I was so perplexed and bummed out at the same time. “So these people do indulge in bribery and unconstrained offenders?” I asked myself folding my hands in stunningly.” well I am not an offender”.
Immediately, one of the officers served me a sumptuous meal with smiles filled on his face.
I started eating instantly like a horse and I ate until I was full – the chicken was yummy.
I believed that that was my last meal because de áth was calling. I could scent it and to d îe for me is better than to continue suffering.
The Grim Reaper was knocking insistently and I would answer it without hesitation. Life is full of pain and distresses and I couldn’t wait to close my eyes for the last time so that all the sufferings will cease.
At 5.00 pm that day, I was laying down cogitating though my eyes were closed. I felt a tap on my legs, “Hey stand up” a policeman on a mask roared.
I stood up immediately and saw other policemen.
They dragged me out and instantaneously, I saw the managing director that interviewed me the other day at the scene – the lady that tried to $educé me
I turned back and stared at her with tears pouring down my cheeks. She was indeed touched – her reaction showed it clearly.
I was pushed out of her sight to a dungeon where I would stay before hanging the next day.
When I got there, my eyes couldn’t explicate what I saw. I saw over thirteen vibrant young men chained together waiting for the next day.
My heart murmured when I saw them. Some of these guys were accused of a críme while some committed mú..rder.
All their eyes were on me and they looked beleaguered. The giant-like police officer fettered me with them and left.
“What’s your name?” One of them asked as though energy had left his body the way juice leaves the pulp of a devoured orange!.
“My name is Mezuo” I replied.
“What brought you here?” He queried me again with a loud voice.
“My wife accused me of a$sássinating my best friend Tony!” I retorted.
“Oh! Tony, that fat guy” he responded while smiling ” I am the one who kí..lled him, he married my girlfriend whom I laboured so many years for” he shouted.
I was dumbstruck and my heart sank into the pit of my belly.
