MURDER CASE 

Last Episode






ONE WEEK LATER


Jacobs walked into the court. He saw Barrister clement.


“What are you doing here?” Jacobs asked.


“I came to save your a’ss as usual” he replied.


“Court rise” the bailiff shouted and everybody stood up, the judge went to his bench and sat before everyone sat down. The normal announcements where done.


There was tight security in the court premises.


“lets see your witness” justice okoro spoke to clement.


Clement called Grace out and she walked to the witness box. She then told the court everything that happened on that day. When she was through, clement came and told the court all that happened to paul and his gang.


“Do you want to cross-examine the witness” justice okoro asked Barrister Briggs.


“Yes your honour” he replied and stood up.


He then faced the court.
“I have been backing a criminal without being aware. Paul Adeyemi actually attempted to kill my daughter and not her husband. Right now i am not even worthy of being a lawyer.
I apologise to my daughter and this honourable court. I am resigning after this case” he wiped his face with his handkerchief and went back to his seat.


“In the absence of any further witness, i hereby make my judgement” Justice okoro spoke.


Due to lack of concrete evidence before this court, i hereby strike out this case and order the release of Mr. Jacobs with immediate effect.


This is my judgement” he hit his gavel.


“court rise!!!” the bailiff shiouted and the judge left the courtroom.


Grace quickly ran to Jacobs and hugged him.


Tears were flowing freely from both their eyes.


Someone cleared his throat and they looked up.


It was Barrister briggs.


“I know i have been wrong Grace, but please forgive me” he said and brought out a parcel, he opened it and it was a necklace he had seized from grace when she started dating Jacobs. It was a gift from Jacobs.


Grace quickly collected it and hugged him tight.


“Happy wedding anniversary sweatheart” he said.


It was then that grace remembered that it was her 2nd wedding anniversary.


“Hope its not late to give my blessings?” he asked.


“Not at all dad” Grace replied.
Just then Briggs sighted Clement. He left his daughter and walked to him. He shook hands with clement warmly.


“I’m proud of you” he said.


Grace and Jacobs walked towards them and they all embraced themselves in an emotional group hug. That very moment, the previous chapter of their lives ended. They were going to face a new life void of the troubles of the invisible quartet.


Jacobs promised himself to personally fight for the release of Attah but that very moment, he just wanted to enjoy his victory. Indeed he was victorious at the end of the murder case.

MURDER CASE 

Episode 18




Dr. Amos couldn’t believe his eyes, his brother has just been killed in his car instead of him. He felt guilty, the bomb was meant for him and not his brother, the poor boy didn’t deserve it. He blamed Asuu for the strike which made his brother jobless. If joe had been in school, he would have concentrated on his studies and not a date. He blamed Janet, Joe had been asking her out for close to a year now and the moment she accepted his date proposal, Joe died. He blamed the invisible quartet, he knew they were definitely the ones behind the attack and he promised himself to personally kill Paul Adeyemi.

He was still alloting blames to individuals when his phone rang. He ignored it but when the caller kept calling, he decided to see who the caller was. He removed the phone from his pocket and he discovered that it was the number from the prison, he picked it up.

“Amos, how is my wife? Did you succeed?” barrage of questions were trown at Amos at the same time.

“She is fine” Amos replied coldly.
Jacobs sighed on the other end.

“Amos what is it? Your voice doesn’t seem okay” Jacobs said.

“Joe has Just been killed” Amos replied.

The news sent cold shivers to Jacobs’ nerves.

He didn’t understand what the poor boy had in the issue.

“Killed? By who? How?” Jacobs asked multiple questions.

“A bomb was placed in my car, Joe was the unlucky guy who entered the car” Amos explained.

“Listen carefully Amos” Jacobs said

“We have been attacked twice in three days in this prison, if Those guys know that they failed in their first attempt, they would come back stronger” Jacobs cautioned.

“What do you suggest i do?” Amos asked.

“Go to my house, spoil the padlock or whatever you can do, just make sure you get inside. There is a pistol inside the cupboard in my bedroom, it is fully loaded. Take it for your protection”

“Jacobs you know i cant….” Amos was saying when something caught his attention.

Nurse Amaka was been led out of the hospital with handcuff.

“Gotta go” Amos said and ended the call. He walked towards Amaka.

“Officer, whats happening here?” he asked.

“We have reason to believe that this woman knows something about the attack today” Agent musa replied him.

“Officer i think there is a mix-up somewhere. I can personally vouch for this lady. Moreover, the group responsible for this attack is called the invisible quartet.

Agent musa wanted to ignore Amos but the name invisible quartet rang a bell. A certain man had la!d complain about a certain group of soldiermen known as the invisible quartet. They had ran checks but they never got any trace on the group. The case was abandoned when the person who reported the case was arrested for being in possesion of cocaine. Medical report showed that the man was suffering from psychosis which made him to hallucinate, he was therefore seeing things that didn’t exist.

Agent musa knew this wasn’t something to ignore so he listened to what amos had to say.
He collected Amos’ number and promised to call him for more information on the Group.
Amaka was thereafter, led to the waiting van which transported them to NATU.

__________________________

Paul Adeyemi was pacing roung his room.
He was thinking about the final phase of their mission. ‘Remember me in hell’ had failed so the next option was to kill Grace.
His phone rang and he picked it up.

“Chiefo is dead” the caller informed him.

“What!! How manage?” paul asked.

“It seems Attah expected him, he was found dead in the toilet”

“Dont worry, That won’t be much of a problem, i am activating the final phase” he said and ended the call. He sent a text with the phone. He then got angry and slammed the phone on the wall, picked his gun and left the room.

___________________________

Amaka was more than coorperative as she gave NATU paul’s address.

House address and a phone number which she was supposed to call only in times of emergency were the only thing she had on the invisible quartet.

Amaka was a lady who loved to live life to the fullest. On one of those occasions she went to a night club where she met paul Adeyemi.

Unknown to her, the meeting wasn’t a chance meeting, it was a well calculated and executed plan. She ended up in paul’s bed. The next day he drove her back to her house. That same day, Amaka’s younger sister was kidnapped. Paul claimed responsibilty and said the only way he was going to release her was if Amaka obeys his orders. He then asked Amaka to get close to doctor Amos and get information from him.

Paul took some men and went to paul’s house. Jimmy insisted on following them.

On getting to the house, it Was empty.

“you and you, go through the back, you and you stay outside, jimmy follow me.” musa ordered
Musa used his masterkey to open the door and he went inside with jimmy. Something caught their attention. A phone was on the floor. Musa picked it up but the screen was cracked.

He turned it on and the phone requested for password.

“Jimmy can you crack this?” musa asked.

“Whats the serial number?” jimmy requested.

Musa opened the phone and removed the battery. The serial number was boldly written on a silver panel. Musa called it for jimmy who punched it on his ipad. He had a password cracking program on his ipad. In less than a minute he got the password.
Musa punched the password on the phone and it unlocked it.
He searched for incriminating calls and text. He finally saw a message which was sent some few minutes back. The screen of the phone was cracked so the only words he saw were “com.. Clear coast”

The message didn’t make sense. They brainstormed until musa finally got a clue.

“I’m coming, clear the coast”
“Are our men still in the hospital?” musa asked.

“The hospital is heavily protected” jimmy replied.

“We better go there now, he is about to strike there” Musa said

“Hold on, i think i found their hidout, the address is in the phone” Jimmy informed musa.
“Go with the men and check out the address, i’m going to the hospital” musa replied and left the room.

__________________________

Bluecross hospital was under tight security after the bomb explosion. The interior and exterior of the hospital were secured.

“All agents are to move to the north west entry” agent ebuka announced with his walkie talkie. In few minutes, the area was deserted and paul came out.

“Thank you agent Ebuka, you have been most helpful” he said.

He then brought out his silencer and shot Ebuka on the forehead.

“sorry, i just couldn’t risk it” he said.

MURDER CASE 

Episode 13

Hunger sometimes make us not to think properly. Jacobs was starving and here he was, face to face with a sumptious meal. He couldn’t wait till Attah wakes up because he didn’t trust the other inmates they could decide to collect the food from his hand.

He brought out the spoon and quickly scooped the rice. He was about taking it inside his mouth but his concious kept on disturbing him.

“Why would he be eating while his friend who had been helping him is sleeping in hunger?”
He decided to wake Attah.

He slapped attah but the guy didn’t respond.

He slapped him again but the guy rather switched position and continued his sweet sleep.

“Maybe God wants me to eat this one alone” Jacobs thought.

He concentrated on his rice and wanted to start eating when Attah opened his eyes slowly.

“Who gave you this food” Attah asked and immediately stood up.

“You are awake, i was trying to wake you but you didn’t wake” Jacobs replied.

“Thats not the question i asked, who gave you this food?”

“My friend Dr. Amos” Jacobs replied.

“Isn’t Amos supposed to be preparing the antidote? Did you see him?”

It was only then that Jacobs started seeing sense in what Attah was saying. He felt stupid for even thinking about eating the food.

“Come, una see food the do guy shey? oya bring am” one of the inmates ordered and collected the rice. He took the rice to his corner and started eating it despite pleas from Jacobs and Attah.

He ate like a mad man. Who would blame him?

Its been long since he ate That kind of food.

He got tired of the rice and he grabbed the chicken. After devouring it he pushed the plate aside and gave a loud belch.

“Life is good” he confessed.

Jacobs and Attah were watching in utter dissapointment, they just missed their meal all because of fear that the food was poisoned.

There were still looking when something strange happened.

The guy who just finished eating the rice grabbed his neck as if trying to stop something from going down his throat. He fell to the ground and started shaking like a cursed chicken, a foamy substance was oozing from his mouth. All the Inmates stood there watching in awe.

He kept gasping for breathe, jerking while placing his hand on his chest. Suddenly, life was drained out of him. He gave up and la!d lifeless on the ground.

“Warder come o, person don die” someone shouted.

The prison warders all ran towards them but they didn’t enter the prison.

“Oya make una leave that place, we go call doctor” one of the men replied them and wanted to go when he remembered something.

“Mr. Jacobs, your lawyer wan see you”
Jacobs stood up and was led to another room where barrister clement was waiting for him.
His left hand hung on a bandage which was placed across his neck.

“Clement, how are you doing?” Jacobs asked.

“Am okay, how are you faring in prison?”

clement asked.

“Its been tough but i’m managing. So what brought you here?”
“Jacobs i dont know how to say this without sounding like a bad friend” clement started.

“What is it?” Jacobs asked.

“I’m withdrawing from the case”

____________________________

Amos was thinking about how his friend would feel when he discovers that he failed in the little assignment given to him. He thought about the effect his failure would have on grace. He couldn’t go back back to David because he wasn’t sure if David would have an extra reserve moreso, he wasn’t sure if David would give him one of his most precious chemicals, how he gave him about an hour ago was still a suprise to him. All these, Amos was thinking in a split-second. He used all his thoughts as a motivation to run after the bikeman.

He ran so fast like a gala seller chasing after a driver who refused to pay him.

“Thief!! thief!! He shouted while running after the bike. The bikeman looked back to see the guy chasing him but before he could concentrate on riding his bike, a driver ran into him.

He fell down and the Benzodiazepine fell from his hand.

He quickly got up and ran for his life. Nobody wants to be lynched by an angry mob.

Dr. Amos quickly ran and picked up the Benzodiazepine, he ignored the staring eyes and continued his journey.

By the time he got to his office, he had only 2hours left.

He went straight to the lab and started the preparation of the antidote. Now that was the tricky part. The antidote was supposed to be greenish in colour but all the test were giving him blue. He looked at his wrist watch and he was left with 30minutes. He looked at the Benzodiazepine, it was getting empty. He read the text message Again and he saw what he got wrong. The Benzodiazepine was supposed to be added in only two drops but he was busy pouring it.

He followed the instruction and got a ‘bluish-green’ colour. ”

“This should be it” he said and ran back to grace. He injected her the antidote and nothing happened.

“I guess i just have to wait” he said.

__________________________

“Jimmy what have you got?” sani asked.

“Remember that cyberware we launched?

That is supposed to detect emails with terrorist content?” Jimmy asked and sani nodded.

“well it just intercepted a mail from a well known terrorist. A truck loaded with snipers is arriving nigeria via the chad-maiduguri boarder”

“Any information on the transporter?” sani asked.
“mahamat hassane, a graduate of molecular physics from oxford university, went back to his country in 2012 to start up a farm”
“a graduate of molecular physics from one of the best universities went back to his country to start a farm? I think we gat our man” sani responded.

“prepare the chopper and send a tactical team, i want agent musa to lead the team.

MURDER CASE 

Episode 12

Sani was under pressure from the state government to arrest the guy with the sniper but he didn’t even have any clue as to where to find him. Just some few minutes back, the governor called him and was threatening to involve the nigerian army if NATU fails to do their job.

This is one of the most tasking mission NATU is embarking on and the state government might decide to scrap them if there were not efficient.

All this and many more problems on his neck made him to regret why he left his Job in the sss just to become the director of NATU.

If things go wrong and they don’t find a way to change the status quo of events, then they might as well start learning trade because the government would not hesitate to scrap them and they will become jobless just like their colleagues in the other states.

He thought about the mouths he was supposed to feed, how on earth would he cater for his family when he gets sack? Perhaps all this wouldn’t have happened if he hadn’t listened to jimmy’s opinion.

But jimmy had been his trusted man in the corperation. If there are any two people sani trusts in his corperation then it has to be Jimmy and agent Musa.

He quickly called Jimmy.

“Jimmy Nwachukwu” Jimmy replied as soon as he picked the call.

“are you guys making headways?” sani asked
“I think you might want to see this” Jimmy replied.

Sani dropped the phone and smiled. This is one of the reasons he liked Jimmy, he is very efficient.

_____________________________

A well dressed man on suit walked into the prison Yard. He was looking corperate as if he was going for a business meeting. He was holding a black leather.

“Good afternoon officer” he greeted the warder on duty.

“Ehm.. Good afternoon, wetin i fit do for you?

“Ehm.. Officer i want…” he was saying something when his phone rang.

“Hello. he picked the call.

What!!! My daughter got an accident? I will be there right away” he said and ended the call.

“Ehm, officer no vex, them just call me say my daughter get accident, i been wan see my friend but i no go fit see am again, just help me give am this food, him name na Olundare jacobs, na yesterday them transfer am come here” he handed the officer the leather.

“Tell am say na Dr. Amos bring am” he said.

“Oga, no be police station we they, na prison.

We no dey collect food here, we the feed them” The warder informed him.

“Ah officer, na my friend o, and na him call me say make i bring food for am” The man said.

“Oya taste the food” the warder commanded.

“Oga na there small wahala dey. I get ulcer and pepper dey that food. My doctor say make i no eat pepper” he informed the warder and handed him some naira notes.

“just use this one buy pure water” he said.

The warder collected the money with smiles on his face.

“wetin be your friend name again?” he asked.

“Na Olundare jacobs” the man replied, stood up and left. When he got outside, he brought out his phone and dialed a number.

“mission accomplished” he said and ended the call.

The warder took the food to Jacobs.

“Olundare Jacobs” he called out. Jacobs bolted up immediately and went to the man.

“Dr. Amos say make i give you this food” he informed him.

Jacobs gracefully took the food and went to his corner to sit. Attah was snoring as he was fast asleep. Jacobs opened the food and saw the lap of an unlucky chicken sitting comfortably on a fried rice which looked very palatable. He swallowed saliva.

“This is going to be a wonderful meal” he thought.

____________________________

Dr. Amos almost spoilt his car horn as if that would make the cars in front of him disappear.

Sometimes he wished he lived in a less busy town.

He was sweating profusely and he didn’t even care, all he cared about was to prepare the antidote for his patient. He had spent close to thirty minutes in the hold up and he hasn’t even moved his car. An idea popped to his head. He picked up his phone and called his mechanic. In 20minutes time the mechanic was there. He handed over the key to his car to the mechanic and quickly crossed to the other lane where the hold up wasn’t as much as the one he parked his car. His plan was to follow one of his shortcut and when he gets to a clear road, he would stop a public transport vehicle. He looked at his Benzodiazepine which he rapped in a black leather and smiled.

He was about going when a bike came from behind and snatched the leather from his hand.

MURDER CASE 

Episode 5



The whole court was shocked by jacobs’ revelation. The whole case was taking a new dimention.
“Do you know how preposterous your accusation sound? You mean he shot your wife and you just stood there?” Barrister Briggs asked.
“Immediately he killed my wife, he charged at me and hit me with his gun and i became unconcious” Jacobs narrated
“I see.
Your counselor just said Mr.paul has a personal vendetta against you so why didn’t he kill you? I mean, you are the only thing standing between him and Grace according to your lawyer, so why did he choose to kill Grace instead of you?”
“I don’t know” jacobs replied.
“you also said all bullets are submitted to your commandant untill during emergencies but according to reports there was an armed robbery attack that night which means you were with bullet so how about the truth? How did you feel when you killed my daughter?”
“Objection my lord, false charge!! My client has not been proven guilty” barrister Clement shouted
“Objection sustained, Barrister lets wait till that is proven”. Justice Okoro said.
“i rest my case” barrister Briggs said. He brought out a white hankerchief from his pocket and used it to wipe the already forming tears in his eyes. He sniffed inaudibly and went back to his seat.
Whispers of eyaa, kai and the likes, were heard in the crowd.
“Would you like to cross-examine him?” Justice Okoro asked Barrister Clement.
“No, your honour.” he replied.
The judge turned to Barrister Briggs
“your next witness please” He said.
By this time, Barrister Briggs has already regained composure.
He stood up and called.
“Mr. Fidelis Ogbu, please come out”
A middle aged man who was probably just a few centimetres fatter than the ‘letter I’ came out. He went straight into the dock.
“Mr. Fedelis, what kind of relationship do you have with Mr. Jacobs?” Barrister Briggs asked.
“Ah!! Na my paddy o, na me with am the follow drink for junction. Infact ehm, e dey even carry me go him house, madam go come cook better food for us. Kai, madam na good woman o” fidelis spoke.
“so were you with Jacobs on the day of the incident?”
“yesso, na me with am been drink that day sef. E call me around past 3 say make we go drink. As we come the drink na, him come tell me say e go kill him wife today. I think say na play him the play o. Around past 4 we come drink finish. By then, my friend don drink 5bottles. I come leave am go my house o, na the next day naim i come hear say e don kill him wife” fidelis narrated.
“Why did he talk about killing his wife”
“him say as him wife the go work say she the follow men for office, say him go kill her.
“thank you mr. Fidelis” barrister Briggs said and walked back to his seat.
“Would you like to cross-examine the witness?” Justice Okoro asked Barrister Clement.
“Yes, your honour” Barrister clement said and stood up. He opened his bag and brought out three pictures.
“Mr. Fidelis, you claimed to have seen Grace right?” Barrister clement asked.
“oga lawyer i don see the woman plenty times, my friend the carry me go him house” fidelis explained.
“Good, so which of this three pictures is grace’s picture” he asked and gave the three pictures to Fidelis to choose.
After carefull observation, Fidelis chose one and gave to Barrister clement.
“Are you sure?” Clement asked.
“oga na she be that” Fidelis replied. Barrister clement then showed the picture to the judge.
The picture was once again enhanced.
“According to our ‘self acclaimed’ friend of Mr. Jacobs, this is Mrs. Grace. But i tell you what, this is the picture of Genevieve Nnaji. So our friend here doesn’t even know mrs.
Grace. The question is, are we going to listen to the testimony of a drunk?
“Objection my lord, the Barrister is using foul words in the court.
“Objection sustained” Justice Okoro shouted.
Barrister, vulgar words are not allowed in this court.
“I guess all am trying to say is, even if my client truly said what Fidelis has accused him of, then he probably said it under the influence of alcohol. But there is a difference of seven hours between past 3 and past 10. So am sure the alcohol must have cleared from my client’s face even before his wife came back so he wouldn’t carry out an action he had said when still under the influence of alcohol. I rest my case” Barrister clement concluded
