Doctor: I know, but I believe her, you don’t
need to take her along to the station
.
Police1 : She must, you know this two young
men will mention her in their statements,
and our superior will call for her arrest
.
Doctor: Agreed but she cannot go with you
tomorrow, until that girl can talk, she’s the
one assigned to her

she’ll just write the statement and back to
the hospital to continue her work

.
Police1: ***Looking at his friend, they
signalled each other*** Ok no problem we
know she cannot run away
.
Me: ***Brought out my phone logged on
whatsapp to gist nurse Titi what her boss
and the policemen discussed, she said I
should not worry about her, she said she
knew how to cover herself, I also gist her
about the statement we are going to
write at the station next day, she advised us
to write the same statement and if they are
questioning us we should know what reply
to give them, and we should not be scared
in front of them, because our reactions can
put us in trouble and it can also set us free, I
thanked her and asked about Tola’s health
she said she’s fine and she also wants to
chat with me***
.
Nurse Titi: Hello pesman it’s me Tola
(Chatting via whatsapp)

After cnn ended chat with Tola, nurse Titi
took over we chatted for a while before she
went offline, she advised us to be a man
enough to confront the police and we
should not Fork up, i also told her about the
statement policemen said she will write
and how her boss covered her, she smiles
and said
“Pesman I trust my Boss am going nowhere with them”
She also assured us nothing is
going to happen, we just need to
confused them.
————————————
We slept in hospital that fateful day, we
were carried to police station early in the
morning in the following day, we reached
station at exactly 8:02am
.
[B] ***INVESTIGATION ROOMS***
.
Cnn and I were led to different questioning
rooms, different officer were also assigned
to us to question us differently, so we can
be pin by our words, my heart froze as I
walked to the room, but I made up my mind
to act innocently as advised by nurse Titi, I
pray for God wisdom as I entered the room
and also prayed for cnn to give the same
replies as mine if not so, we’re in hot soup.

The officer I was assigned entered with
serious look on his face, he was looking like
newly solider posted to sambisa forest to
face Boko Haram, I was so scared to the
extent I don’t even pay attention to name
on his chest, he faced me with sorrow eye
and said
.
Police m: Guy what’s your name?
.
Me: ***I don’t need to lie about my name,
they might also asked cnn*** My name is
pesman
.
Police: Pesman! Pesman! Your name sounds familiar, have you ever involved in any case with us in this station before?
.
Me: Yes sir, not too long
.
Police: What was your offense then?
.
Me: One man alleged me of broken his car windscreen
.
Police: Ok, that aside, what do you have to say about this issue of abortion girl at the
hospital?
.
Me: my friend and I were coming from Dstv viewing Centre when we found her lying
lifeless along the road, we moved closed to
her to check on her.

By that time one girl was in front of us she
went to buy bread, we called her, she came
to our side we explain everything to her
lucky for us she’s a nurse, she tested her
and gave her injection to stabilized her
before we carried her to hospital for proper
treatment, but I was surprised when your
men (police) said we have statement to
write, oga police as from now on I vow not
to be helping again, can just imagine
because we helped that girl now, we were
denied freedom
.
Police: What is the name of your friend?
.
Me: Mujeeb
.
Police: You said you were coming from Dstv when you saw her body along the road?
.
Me: Yes
.
Police: Who and who is playing? I mean

.
Me: PSG and Arsenal uefa champions league
.
Police: What was the scoreline
.
Me: 1-1 Draw
.
Police: Who scored for arsenal
.
Me: Alexis Sanchez
.
Police: So by the time you carried her to the hospital I believe you see her face
.
Me: Yes I do
.
Police: Have you ever meet her or seen her face before?
.
Me: Never, yesterday was the first time am seeing her face
.
Police: Do you suspect anybody in that area as her boyfriend?
.
Me: No sir, because I don’t know her, so how would I know her boyfriend
.
Police: Thanks for corporation, I
believe at the end of this state government
will reward you guys for saving the poor
girl’s life, you can go back now
.
Me: Thank you sir ***I went back to counter to wait for my friend, seven minutes later cnn came out with the police assigned to
him.

I looked at his eyes he also looked at mine
and smiled, I became happy and believed we
are in safe side, he sat beside me, but before
I could asked him any questions the two
officers assigned to question us came to us
and said
.
[B] Police: It seems you guys are innocent on this, your answer to the question we asked
you is 90% the same, but we’ll still have to
confirm it from the victim at the hospital
.
Cnn: No problem we are ready to do
anything for you
.
Nike: Doctor please let go in and treat the
wound
.
D.P.O: No need
.
Nike: Don’t mind him jare
.
Police: Oga please let the doctor treat you.
.
We walked back into hospital, Doctor,D.P.O
and Nike walked into one ward where D.P.O
was attended to
.
Me: ***Facing the police who held my
trouser*** Oga police take it easy with me

.
Me: He’s not a cultist he only watched it on

Police: But this is not first time of him to

.
Me: Don’t know *** D.P.O Nike, and doctor
walked on us that moment brought our
conversation to an end, small plaster was on
his face***
………
D.P.O: ***Faced Doctor*** Actually we
haven’t done what we came here for before

.
Doctor: The patient they brought here last

.
D.P.O: Yes my daughter insist that we must

.
Nike: Dad you should mark my word you will
see that the person we are talking about is

.
Doctor: Let go to her ward then
.
***They are about to head to her ward
when the police team (The team that run
after cnn) showed up with their heart
beating
faster, the sorrow on their faces suggested
they missed their target***
.
D.P.O: *** with full smile and calm tone***
Weldone guys and thank you for wonderful

back of the van
.
Police: (Sergeant Bukola was the team leader
and he was the one talking on behalf of his
team members) ***with shaking voice***

D.P.O: You’re blaming me right?
.
Sgt. Bukola: No sir but when aegis were

Nike: Take it easy dad
.
D.P.O: Don’t worry my dear, i will let the

the kind of lesson he will never forget in his
life
.
Sgt. Bukola: What next to do now sir?
.
D.P.O: Why asking me?
.
Sgt. Bukola: Because you have assigned
yourself to be incharge of this case sir, and

.
D.P.O: ***Faced me with lion eye*** You silly

Nike: Daddy you have just been beating this
young man since, he’s not my sister’s
boyfriend, i don’t even know him please let

.
Doctor: You should take it easy with this boy

.
Nike: Yes we should check the ward first
.
D.P.O: Whether he’s criminal or not, i will not
let him go don’t you see how his friend hurt
me, if i deal with him so hard, he will tell me
where his friend is
.
Nike: Let Check the ward dad
.
D.P.O: ***Faced sgt. Bukola*** handcuff him,
put him at the back of the van
.
Me: *** I was cuffed and led to where police
van was parked outside, a lot of
thought began running through my
mind***
“This is how am going to spend the rest of
my life in jail because of my ignorance”
“Where is cnn now, where is jameelah?”
“Dupe is also in police cell”
“Why always me oh Lord?”
I wept as i was put roughly at the back of
the
police van, i barely settled down at the back
of the van when i heard a familiar voice
screamed from afar “STOP! STOP!! STOP!!!”
I looked outside and saw Madam Hadiza
coming down from her car, i heave a sigh of
relief
“MY GOD IS FINALLY HERE”
.
To be continuedPolice: We’ll go to the hospital now to hear from her ***He barely finished his words when my phone rang, the caller was
Jameelah, I picked
.
[B] Me: Hello
.
Jameelah: Hi love how are you
.
Me: Am fine
.
Jameelah: Where are you?
.
Me: With a friend
.
Jameelah: Early this morning?
.
Me: We are settling one issue here
.
Jameelah: can we see today
.
Me: I will call you if we can, I don’t know how long am staying here
.
Jameelah: I will be expecting your call

Me: The pleasure is mine
.
Jameelah: Don’t forget to call me whenever you’re free
.
Me: Sure I will call you
.
Jameelah: Ok bye
.
Me: Bye ***Hang up***
.
Cnn: Am thinking of something
.
Me: what’s it
.
Cnn: I think you should call madam hadiza and explain to her
.
Me: No need for that, this issue is yet to be complicated, we can still Handle this within
our self, but if things turn upside down,
we’ll inform her ***My phone rang, the
caller was the person we were discussing
about madam hadiza, I picked with fear
maybe she had found out I was in police
station, I don’t know how she knew I was
in hospital when I was admitted there,
likewise the same time she bailed me from
this station when I broke one man car ‘s
glass, maybe her informant had informed
her again***
.
Me: Hello peslady
.
Madam hadiza: Hi love how are you
.
Me: Am fine
.
Madam hadiza: Where are you?
.
Me: ***looking at cnn he urged me to voice
out*** Am with a friend

Me: Laugh
.
Madam hadiza: Pesman Take good care of yourself for peslady
.
Me: Sure I will
.
Madam hadiza: Ok dear bye *** hang up***
.
15minutes later one of the police who
questioned us walked to us and said “It’s
time to visit the hospital to hear from the
girl” we are about to Walked out when the
D.P.O walked in I quickly recognized him, he
was the one settled my case when I broke
the windscreen, he looked at me and smiled,
all the officers at the counter stand still to
greet him with full respect
.
Polices: Good morning sir
.
morning how are you?
.
Polices: Fine sir
.
D.P.O: ***Faced cnn and i*** What are this
people are doing here?
.
Police: They have a case sir, there was a girl
who was in hospital as we are talking, the
girl had abortion she was dumped along the
road in the night, this two young men
carried her to hospital to save her life, so
we’re questioning them, they might be the
girl boyfriend but they denied sir
.
D.P.O: A girl?
.
Police: Yes sir
.
D.P.O: I think I have interest in this case
.
Me: ***I felt like disappearing, the whole
D.P.O wants to handle the case of his
daughter himself***
.
D.P.O: Who’s in charge of this case?
.
Police: Sargent Tunde sir
.
D.P.O: Tell him to withdraw the case for me I want to handle it
.
Me: ***We are almost closed to jail, one
beautiful girl walked in that moment, the girl
was carbon copy of Tola, my instincts told
me she was Nike (Tola’s sister) they looked
alike, only difference between them was she
taller than Tola.

I looked at cnn at back he was hiding his
face under the counter, I lower myself to
him and asked him*** What’s is happening to you?
.
Cnn: Pesman we’re in trouble, Nike (Tola’s
sister) is here
.
Me: Haaaaaaaaaaaaa
.
