Must Read: Circle Of Three - Season 1 - Episode 44

She started to search her belongings.
“Ha! Where is my swimsuit?” Her open mouth
was followed by more searching. Frantic
searching that yielded nothing.
“I could not have left it. Ha! She bit her finger.
Ha!” She was imagining how refreshing the
water could have been.
A third ‘Ha!’did not escape from her lips before
she took a bus to Oshodi.


When she got there, she was in for a shocker.
Oshodi was a bit odd, a bit eerie when she
arrived. The reluctance of the bus driver to drop
her at her destination was the first hint of the
danger she was taking on when she decided to
come here. Fortunately for her, it was over.


Burnt tyres filled the streets, giving an odious
smell and a ‘blacky’ sight. Sharp objects of
metal was scattered all around the area, and
the ceramics called glass bottles were not left
out of the mess that was visible. It was simple
to her.


Oshodi gangs were at it again. Some people
must have fought her.


She ran to her compound, meeting her aunt’s
neighbor.
“Aunty Nkechi, what happened?”

Aunty Nkechi was best known as an ‘amebo’,
one of those people whose God-given ability was
to gossip and make the gossip ‘sweet’. The lies
used by them were legendary when it regarded
a single person.


But they said the truth when events like this
happen.
“Ah! Where did you go to? Na God save you
oh!” She started, clapping her hands together.
“Na armed robbers come rob everybody for this
area oh! They kill plenty people, even pikin
them kill. They came around 10 pm”, Comfort’s
blood ran cold when she heard that, she had
left 9.45pm for Ikeja. “Na so they just dey
shoot, dey kill people. From wetin I hear, some
police people join them. Na so for this morning,
OPC guys com come, dey gather boys make
they go storm the armed robbers. How them
sabi the place I no know”, She paused and spat
on the ground, “na so they come dey fight, na
so fight come spread reach here oh! See as
people dey run, even me dey comot. Wetin you
dey find for here?”
