THE_MURDER_CASE EPISODE 6 to 10







THE_MURDER_CASE EPISODE 6
NATU HEADQUATERS LAGOS NIGERIA, 21ST OCTOBER 2013.[/b]
Sani Madawaki came down from his office which was located upstairs in the NATU building. He was the director of NATU.
The ‘nigerian anti-terrorist unit’ was formed in the year 2011 to curb the bokoharam crises. 500men were chosen from the nigerian police force, nigerian army, navy and all other military and paramilitary organizations to form NATU. In 2012, they went to the united states for intelligence training and came back later that same year. They where posted to all the bokoharam infested communities but due to constant collision with the JTF and coupled with the fact that members of bokoharam had escaped from those areas, the nigerian government decided to post them to other states to aid intelligence.
250 of those men were posted to lagos state, the rest were posted to other geographic locations but have since stopped working due to the backlog of salaries they are been owed. According to the federal government, the formation of NATU was illegal and it was duplication of office since other military groups can do their jobs. Lagos state government however accepted NATU and have been paying them.
“Jimmy, i just received a call from the commisioner of police, a sniper shot someone in the court in ikoyi. Check for any storybuilding inside 15metre radius in the court premises” sani instructed
“Got it” Jimmy replied. He was pretty fast. He was a computer operator in NATU.
There are 4 storybuildings in that location But according to reports, the bullet came at an angle of 45° which leaves us with only the Gmax building”
“Good job Jimmy, any traffic camera in the location?” sani asked.
“Even if there is a traffic cam, it wont be able to get the suspent, he was in the sixth floor” Jimmy replied
“fuucckk it!” sani exclaimed. He doesnt like working under pressure,it makes him look like a newbie.
“Although, i think we can use satellite imageries” Jimmy chipped in.
“Nah!! It wont give us the facial properties of the victim”
“I know, but we can use it to know his location. Jimmy said.
“Do it” sani said with a tone of finality and walked back to his office.
******************************
Barrister clement was still on the floor, he had just been shot on his arm. All the police officers had since fled the court. Mr. Jacobs was whisked away using the blackmaria. Few minutes later, soldier officers arrived the location and cleared everybody out of the court. The case was adjourned till further notice.
Meanwhile, agent white was still suprised how he missed. Barrister clement had put his hands at akimbo and agent white wanted to shoot through the hole formed by his hand but immediately he wanted to pull the trigger, Barrister briggs brought his hands down. White wanted to abort but it was too late, he had already pulled the trigger. The bullet met Barrister Clement on his arm. Before he could adjust and aim, the courtroom had become rowdy. He didn’t see Grace again and every other person Had taken cover. He had failed in his operation.
Paul adeyemi walked into a building. He slid his keycard at the slot and used his fingerprint. The door opened at once. He entered and met three men inside.
“Where is agent white?” he asked.
“he is not yet back, one of the men answered him”. He did as if he wanted to unbotton his shirt and he brought out a little camera. It was the camera that the people in the building where using to monitor the court session. You would never know there was a camera there, you will only see his silver coloured large button.
He paced around the hall for a few seconds, removed his wristwatch and slammed it on the wall.
“we failed!!!” he shouted.
*****************************
“Jimmy what have you got?” sani asked, coming down from his office.
“I used satellite and i got our man, he came down from the Gmax building at exactly 1:20pm. I switched to street cam to view his face but it looks like he is a proffesional, he was putting on a hood and bent his head so i wasn’t able to see his face” Jimmy explained.
“You mean you lost him?” sani asked impatiently.
“chill!! He entered into the mall by the street. 45minutes later he came out and i sent agent musa to stalk him. We got his address, we are just waiting for your orders to arrest him.” jimmy explained.
“Jimmy, thats a decoy, the real shooter must have escaped through another route or is still in the mall” sani said.
“Not according to neighboors” Jimmy chipped in.
His neighbours claimed he Is an armedrobber who had been terrorising the area and just recently, he has been seen with strange faces”
“Jimmy this is terrorism we are talking about, not petty robbery” sani explained.
“It still doesn’t hurt to bring him in for questioning. He is our only viable lead” Jimmy advised.
“Okay then, call agent musa, tell him to go with few other field agents” sani said. Just then his phone rang and he picked it. It was the special advicer to the governor on security matters. Sani picked the call. The special adviser just wanted to know how far they where with the investigation.
“we have a suspect sir, we are bringing him in for questioning as we speak” sani replied and the line went dead.

THE_MURDER_CASE EPISODE 7
Agent white walked into the building dejectedly. He dropped the bag containing his sniper on the table and located a chair to sit without caring about the four men who were staring at him.
“Tunde what went wrong?” Paul asked. Tunde was white’s real name. They only use their various pseudos when going for operations.
“It was just some technical glitches” white replied.
“Hope you weren’t followed” one of the men who had been silent asked.
“Can they follow shadow? I made sure they lost track of me” white replied.
“Good. We just received intel that Grace has been admitted in Blue-cross Hospital” Paul informed him.
“Alright then, i will have to finish what i started” white said.
“Nah mehn, i’ll just have to visit an old friend” Paul said and smiled.
******************************
A Hilux van drove into the NATU building and went straight to the parking lot and parked.
The driver first came out then four other men came out. One had handcuffs on his hand and from the look in his eyes, you can tell he was in a sorry state.
Two men led him into the building while the remaining men stood outside gisting. Immediately sani saw the men he went towards them.
“Good job agents.” he said
“Take him to the holding room. I will be there in 15minutes.”
The two men led him to the left wing of the building and followed a single lane route which led to the holding room.
“Jimmy i want you to pull his records for me” sani said to jimmy.
“Am on it” he replied.
****************************
Instead of the normal police station where Jacobs was previously kept, he was transported to the kiri kiri maximum prison located in ojo, Lagos. According to the policemen, it was for his own safety as the kiri kiri prison is more secured than the police cell. Jacobs had protested and wanted to call his lawyer but he remembered that his lawyer had been shot so he resigned to fate. The prisoners he saw there were not smiling. They all had this ‘dangerous aura’ radiating from their body. He stood there looking like a kid who was entering his class for the first time.
“Come, na ajebor you come form for prison? Shey our face look like television” someone asked him. He didn’t know how to reply him so he just stood there and continued staring at them like a scarecrow.
“You be kuruma abi? Oya skido go draw that guy come here” he ordered.
A huge guy stood up and started advancing towards him. He nearly fainted only looking at the guy’s biceps. The guy just came and hung his hand across Jacobs neck.
“Make una leave this one, him never dey used to here naim make” the guy spoke.
“Attah wetin be your own na? Na the third prisoner wey you don save today be this o, make e do you o” the guy barked. Attah didn’t reply him, he just drew Jacobs to one corner and they started chatting.
*****************************
Sani walked into the holding room with a file in his hand. He came with one other man. He started reading from his file
“Philip mba, arrested for armedrobbery, grantheft auto. Convicted once and is just coming out of prison.
Tell me, do they have sniper classes in the prison”
“I dont know what you are talking about” philip replied.
“You see this man here, he is a former police officer. He is trained to inflict pain without remorse”
The man dropped his bag, opened it and brought out it’s content. Inside the bag was one pressing iron, one ‘talk true’ and an electric wire.
Sani brought out a picture and showed him. The man in the picture wore a black hood and a khaki, he was bending his head so his face wasn’t visible.
“Thats not me, i dont bend my head when walking” he replied. By this time, the other man had already plugged the pressing iron to an electric source, philip swallowed saliva when he saw it.
“But you were wearing this same cloth in the same area at the same time we were looking for this man. Is that a coincident?” sani asked.
Philip started getting the connection.
“i can explain” he shouted
“start talking” sani said.
“I was in that mall when a young girl was passing without looking up. She was holding a liquid. Before i could stop her, she hit me and the liquid poured on my cloth. A youngman who was watching the whole event bought this cloth for me. I even saw when he bought it. I had to wear the new cloth because i was getting late for an event.” philip explained
The two men weren’t satisfied with the explanation. The other man raised philip’s shirt and use the hot iron to press his skin. Philip shouted, his screams filled the whole room.
*******************************
Doctor the patient at ward 18 just woke up and is requesting to see you” a nurse informed Dr. Amos.
“I will be there soon” Dr. Amos replied.
Meanwhile, in ward 18, Grace had just woke up from sleep and the first person she saw was paul.
“Hello sweetheart” he said.
She wanted to scream but he quickly covered her mouth with his hand.
“shhhhhhh!!!! am not here to kill you” he said.
“Am just gonna give you this injection and you will go into a long sleep. When you wake up, you might be lucky to remember your name”
Dr. Amos was walking fast, he was about reaching ward 18 when nurse Amaka called him.
“Dr, you are supposed to be in the theater” she said.
“yes, i’ll be there shortly, Dr. Mark is already there” he said and wanted to go when the nurse held his arm.
“what is it Amaka?” he asked.
“Its just that Dr. Mark is relatively new to suggery, i think you should be there” she said.
“Dont worry Amaka, i will be there as soon as i finish from this ward” he replied and still wanted to go but Amaka still held his arm.
“Remember our date?” she asked, smiling mischiviously
“i do, Dr” Amos replied.
“can i go now?”
Amaka was still thinking when he turned and started going. Amaka ran after him but she was too late, he opened the door to ward 18 and entered.

THE_MURDER_CASE EPISODE 8
Being tagged a criminal is very dangerous in nigeria especially when a police officer is involved. The interrogation method is so crude but yet ‘overly efficient’.
Overly efficient in the sense that even an innocent person could admit to commiting a crime he knows nothing about just to avoid the pains of interrogation.
Philip was unlucky as he had been trapped in the webs of interrogation in the nigerian style.
His flesh was designed with an iron. It got to a time when the iron was removed and replaced with Unclad wire that was used to electricute philip.
His wailing and weeping sounded like a meloudious tone for the man who was busy doing a wonderful job of making philip cry like a baby.
Philip increased his shout to draw attention from outside but the hall was sound proof as only those inside the room could hear him shout.
“I swear, i dont know anything about a sniper” philip said while crying.
“Shut up!!” the man shouted and increased the voltage of the iron.
Samson who had been standing outside all this while, entered the room.
“Excuse me sir” he said.
“Yes? Samson, whats the problem?” sani asked
“i think the polygraph would be a more efficient method sir” samson replied.
“Polygraph? I thought it was faulty?” sani asked.
“it has been rectified sir”
“Okay then, lets use the polygraph” sani concluded.
The polygraph was brought and it was tested with already verified questions like ‘is your name philip mba?’ ‘have you stolen before?’ when the result of the Polygraph were displayed, it showed that it was in excellent condition so it was consequently used. After the questioning, it was shown that philip was innocent all along and he was just used as a decoy to facilitate the real culprit’s escape.
Sani was pained. He went out to the main hall and summoned everybody.
“Look up everybody” he said
“There is a sniper out there and the state government is on our necks. This is a new trend in Nigeria and the government wants us to nip it by the bud before it spreads like bombing. We had the wrong suspect and now we are back to nowhere. I want all our resources to be put into finding this criminals. Suspend whatever you are doing that is not related to this case. This is priority 1” with that , he walked to his office. Jimmy was calling him but he didn’t reply. He blamed Jimmy for taking the bait. He knew it was a false flag from the beginning but Jimmy didn’t see it.
*****************************
Attah and Jacobs got along pretty fast. In no time they had began gisting like old time acquaintance.
“so tell me, what brought you here?” Attah asked
Jacobs sighed and explained everything to him.
“You mean paul Adeyemi did this to you?” Attah asked
“Do you know him?” Jacobs asked his own question.
“yes ofcourse, he’s the reason i’m in prison”
“how do you mean?” Jacobs asked.
“2 years ago, some soldier officers went to ivory coast for peace keeping when ousted president Laurent gbagbo refused to vacate office. 5soldiers in that troupe Where diverted to pakistan for special training in every form of terrorism” Attah explained.
“Who diverted them?” Jacobs asked.
“The then minister for defence, rt.gen Shola Ajayi.
“he had trained them for his special use as thugs for the upcoming election”
“paul was one of them. They call themselves the invisible quartet. They are invisible because they leave normal lives as soldiermen but they are very dangerous. I had so much information about them that could put them behind bars for good, so they set me up”
“Why didn’t they kill you, why did they set you up?” Jacobs asked in suprise.
“You underestimate the power of an igalaman, even bullets respect us” Attah bragged.
“so how were you set up?”
“They stashed cocaine in my room and tipped the police. I was arrested and sentenced to 15years in prison” Attah explained.
Jacobs wanted to ask why his igala jazz failed him but he kept quiet.
“look we can help each other. I can help you get justice while you help me end the invisible quartet”
“I would have loved to but am also in prison, there is nothing i can do” Jacobs explained.
“Actually there is something you can do, but first we need to make a call”
“We are in prison, how is that possible?” Jacobs asked.
“Dont worry about that, we have our way in the prison”
Warder come o, i wan make call” Attah shouted.
The warder came quickly.
“1minute na 100naira o” he informed them.
“No wahala” Attah assured him.
*******************************
Amaka was still chasing Dr.Amos but he quickly went in. He met the room empty save for grace who was sleeping peacefully. Just then, his phone rang.
“Hello” he answered the call.
“Amos, its me Jacobs” the caller said. Amos was shocked but he composed himself.
“How is my wife” Jacobs asked.
“thats the problem, i was told she was awake but when i came she was still sleeping. Her temperature is very low, her pulse is weak and her heart beat is faint.
“remember me in hell” Attah whispered
“What?” Jacobs gave him an inquiring look.
“it is a drug they use to cause permanent amnesia. When your wife wakes, she will have total memory loss” Attah explained.
“Although i read of its antidote, but am not too sure of its preparation. Tell your friend we’ll text him the preparation of the antidote.
Jacobs relayed the information and they ended the call. Few minutes later, a text came into Dr. Amos’ cell. It contained the reagents for the antidote and its preparation. Dr. Amos knew most of the reagents and he had them at home except one. He quickly put a call across to Amaka to check for the reagent in the hospital lab. After waiting, he went after Nurse amaka but she said the reagent wasn’t in the hospital.
“When is the next supplies” Dr. Amos asked
“Tomorrow” she replied.
The text indicated that the antidote must be given before five hours of the drug’s infection. Dr.Amos walked back to his office dejectedly. As soon as he left, Amaka removed the reagent from where she was hiding it and smiled.
As soon as Dr. Amos reached his office, he started thinking. All of a sudden a name came to his head.
“David” he shouted and reached for his phone.

THE_MURDER_CASE EPISODE 9
Jacobs and Attah sat quietly in the prison. Jacobs couldn’t believe his ears. His wife was going to wake up only to forget everything she had ever known including him, that is if Dr. Amos fails in his assignment.
The invisible quartet were very sharp, they figured if they left Grace to testify, she will implicate paul Adeyemi and if they killed her, it will raise suspicions so the best thing to do was to make her forget everything including her name.
“How come you know so much about them?” Jacobs broke the silence.
“I’v been following them ever since the death of Shola Ajayi. I knew his death wasn’t odinary so i launched an investigation into the case.
After their training in pakistan, the invisible quartet went back to Ivory coast to join their colleagues in the peace keeping mission. Remember, the minister died when adressing the soldiers after they returned from the peacekeeping mission.
The invisible Quartet knew that the minister was only trying to use them for his selfish gains so they killed him in that occasion” Attah explained.
“You mean, Shola Ajayi was murdered? I thought he just slumped and died”
“That was what everybody believed. Infact the autopsy report showed that he died of heart attack but it was Paul Adeyemi who personally killed him.
Remember when the minister shook hands with all the returning soldiers? It was at that point that paul killed him. Inbetween paul’s index and middle finger was a highly poisonous substance. When the minister shook hands With paul, he quickly used the substance to pierce the minister just above his wrist. It was relatively painless and the minister didn’t know what went on.
The substance has high affinity for magnesium so it went straight to the heart which has a rich supply of the mineral. While in the heart it carries out its work of causing cardiac arrest. First the heartbeat increases thereby transporting the blood at a relatively faster rate. The substance is then transported to the liver through the hepatic portal artery. It is in the liver that the substance gets detoxificated and transported to the epidermal cell of the skin. It is then excreated as crystals through the sweatpore.
This happens at a pretty fast rate such that, when the victim dies and a test is done, the substance would not be found in the bloodstream of the victim” Attah explained.
“Even though i didn’t understand most of the things you just said, am sure it must have been a highly complex procedure. Well, i also have a shocker for you”
In the university, I and Amos and Clement where best of pals. Infact we were called the three musketeers.” Jacobs informed him
“Thats great. Attah exclaimed, i would love to see the three musketeers versus the invisible quartet”
[hr]
Dr. Amos picked up his phone and dialed David’s number. David was a guy he met in the university,he is a first class graduate of biochemistry. Despite his good grades, David rejected every job offered him. His final project in the university was to
Study the chemical method of increasing the blood’s cluster of differientiation 4(cd4) count after HIV infection.
He did the preliminaries in his project but after his graduation, he felt his project gave him an insight into finding the cure to HIV.
Upon graduation, David has been living a secluded live as the only thing he does was mixing chemicals to give him a required recipe. His friends had all aboundoned him since he didn’t have enough time for them. If they is anywhere Dr. Amos can get his reagent, then it has to be from David.
After the fourth ring, David finally picked up his phone. He had been searching for the phone since morning but he didn’t see it. He later found it inside his conical flask when the phone rang.
“Whatsup Davo” Amos said immediately David picked the call.
David didn’t allow Amos to land before he began bombarding him with his discoveries.
“Hey doc! I think i’v found the cure to HIV. Look, i know this sounds crazy but i found a drug that can kill someone for approximately 1hour and the antidote can be used to revive the victim. You know the HIV virus only survives in a living medium so when the host dies, it also dies. In the 1hour period when the victim is temporarily dead, i can purge the Hiv virus out if his system using my wonder drug” David explained excitedly.
“waoh!! I’m happy for you” Amos played along.
“yesso, i will also develop a drug to cure highly advanced cancer. The idea is….” David wanted to continue but Dr.Amos cut him Short.
“Do you have Benzodiazepine? He asked.
“Yes, i have what do you want…”
“Dont worry, i’ll be in your doorstep in a short while” Dr. Amos said and ended the call. He reached for his keys and quickly went to his car.
In less than 20minutes he was already in David’s house, thanks to his knowlege of shortcuts.
He sounded the door bell but he got no reply, he knocked and still got no reply so he barged in.
He was looking around the room and was wondering while the room was so unkept. All of a sudden, someone shouted and jumped out of nowhere.
Amos was shocked but he held himself and turned only to see David standing with a knife in his hand. He was Unclad save for the towel he tied round his waist. His hair was bushy and his beard were overgrown.
“whatsup doc” he said.
“David, why are you holding a knife” Amos asked, scared.
“Knife? David asked, suprised and then looked at his hand.
“i thought it was a spatula” he exclaimed.
“so where is the Benzodiazepine? Amos asked.
“follow me David said and led him to the bathroom. He went to the bathtub and brought out a testtube.
“this is hydroquinol” David told him.
“many people think hydroquinol is dangerous and can cause cancer but my experiments show that the product of the oxidation of hydroquinol in the presence of aliphatic amines gives you quinone which infact can be used to cure cancer”
“Okay, thats good” Amos said trying to be time concious. He knew better than to rush David. If he rushes David, he just might Get angry and drive him out of his house.
“one other thing doc, i urinated and discovered it had a ph of 3.8 so i used it as a medium to save some of my reagents” david imformed him.
“you mean your urine was that acidic and you didn’t see a doctor?” Amos wanted to ask him if he smokes but he already knew the answer. Smoking could lead to kidney problem and this makes the patient to produce acidic urine(smokers beware).
“nah nah nah… I dont need a doc,i can take care of myself” he said.
He then led Dr.Amos to his kitchen where he kept the Benzodiazepine.
Dr. Amos collected it and rushed out immediately
“goodluck which your HIV drug” he shouted and bolted out of the house. In his joy, he forgot to follow his shortcut. He drove on the mainroad and encountered traffic jam. He looked at his front and he couldn’t see the end. He wanted to go back but he was already trapped. He looked at his wrist watch, he had 3hours 30minutes left.

THE_MURDER_CASE EPISODE 10
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.
[hr]
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.
[hr]
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.
