PAWNS
Numbers: unknown.
Intel: These are the only known sets of people working for The Cartel. They are usually recruited by Knights and are mostly students of tertiary institutions who must meet the high standard set by The Cartel before they are selected. Then they are assigned the roles of Campus and Local Pimps and Runs Girls.


They too have no Idea who they work for.

They only meet with the Recruiters. They are the ones mostly arrested by the authorities and usually cannot provide useful information about The Cartel.


Failure to meet target or make your delivery, you lose a finger for the guys, and you get violated by at least 5 guys for females as warning. Losing an arm for females and outright murder for guys comes next. There’re no two ways about it because as a Pawn, you are well taken care of by The Cartel financially and academically, so no excuses. But their true identities are unknown to the public because of the high level of secrecy of the Cartel
***************************************
April 5th 2014, a lady Duke Jane, who was billed to board a Kabo Airways flight 215 (Lagos-Abuja-Dubia) at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja, was arrested with substances suspected to be Marijuana and other hard drugs by the Drug Enforcement Agency, DEA. On her was about 85.70 grammes of the substances valued at N10m, with N2m million and $5000 in cash.


This was a very big catch by the DEA agents because prior to her arrest, the Intel they received stated the fact that she was working for the most ruthless Human and Drug trafficking group in the country known simply as The Cartel.


And with the quantity of Drugs and Cash found on her, it seems they’ve just landed themselves the infamous dreaded Female Bishop. It was definitely worth celebrating to them, because the mystery behind the Cartel was probably about to be solved.


But while the agency celebrated, Jane was in sorrow. Her beautiful life was going to be cut short unexpectedly at age 27. The year was 2014, and anyone caught with drugs faces the death penalty, no stories. This was the provision of the Decree 30 put in place by the Military government of General Baco, who took power in the military coup of 2012. She was going to die, and she knew it.


The online media with Twitter, Facebook and Nairaland leading, were agog with her story, same way radio and Tv stations who all gave chilly broadcast about her case where not left out. But to many who read the story or heard the announcement, there was nothing special about her case because, just like the others caught before her, she was going to be executed.


However, a new twist in Jane’s story would turn her into the most mysterious drug pusher in the Nation’s history. Seven days after her arrest, Jane died in custody. She died in very questionable and mysterious circumstances, and president Moburi would not bury the case. He ordered an investigation into the matter.


This was primarily because, she was supposed to be a lead in the crack down of The Cartel.

INVESTIGATIONS

The Investigative Panel set up by the President was to carry out three main tasks:
* Make proper inquiry as to the arrest and death of Duke Jane
* Determine whether during the period of her arrest and custody, if any person(s) contributed to her death through acts incidental to the case
* Make suitable recommendations
But that would never happen, because on the 22th of July that same year, while investigations where still on and yielding fruits, the government of General Baco was toppled by General Mustafa, a member of the SMC….
