Episode 49
Have seriously missed my baby, our
discussion later led into romantic mood
and i initiated s-x with her but for where?
Biola didn’t allow me, her reason was
that i still need to visit our family doctor
the following day to ascertain my medical
condition even when i tried to convince
her that all that have been done at benin
and at least she has the result but she
still declined, i went to bed a bit angry.
Biola went to office the following, i went
to the hospital and from there to my
office, my colleagues were so happy to
me, i had discussion with my boss and
was asked if i was fit enough to resume
on Monday which i said in affirmative
that i will God willing….I went to retrieve
my sim card on Friday, i bought a new
phone but the sim card didn’t work until
the following day on Saturday evening
We left my parent place to our house in
Egbeda on Sunday morning; Biola’s
parent came on a visit to our house, we
discussed at length about what
happened, my encounter at the
kidnappers den and how i escaped, they
left around past 12 when Biola saw them
off…
My other friends and neighbour came to
visit us at home too, my house was like
someone that just came back from
pilgrimage, will i complain? Have wanted
to go and barb my hair since we came
into the house in the morning but visitors
wouldn’t allow me. It was me all of them
came to visit so i couldn’t leave them at
home to go out..
One visitor wouldn’t have left before
another one will come in, it was not until
around 6:30pm we stop having visitors,
Biola and I were so tired, i helped her out
in the kitchen with some place and i had
to take excuse to quickly rush to the
saloon while she prepare our dinner.
I took my clipper and off i went to the
barbing saloon, there were some sort of
people there so, i was fourth on the queue
so i had to wait, i was through with my
hair around past 8 and headed straight
home. I got to my flat and realized my
door was a bit opened “why will this
woman leave this door open like this”….
I entered and lock the door from behind, i
called her name but i didn’t hear any
response, i went to the kitchen and the
rice on fire has started burning already
“this woman left food on fire and went
out, maybe someone came to visit us and
he saw them off again” i said to myself. I
put off the gas cooker and headed
straight to the bedroom ..WHAT!!! i
shouted..
Lying on our bed was my wife in her own pool
of blood with kitchen knife stuck to her lower
abdomen, i rushed to the bed, she was still
gasping for life just little by little, i removed
the knife from her stomach and tie cloth round
it in order to forestall the flow of blood, i lifted
her up straight to my car as i was shouting,
my neighbour that were in the compound
rushed down to me and help me out, in fact
they didn’t allow me to drive.
We arrived at a nearby hospital in our area
but she was rejected, we were referred to
Ayinke House (Lasuth) in Ikeja, we arrived
Ikeja by past 9 and luckily for us she was
quickly taken to the emergency world, i didn’t
even know what to do again, my neighbour
collected my phone and had to call my dad
that we were at the hospital, my mum arrived
later in the night..
Mum : what happened? What is wrong with
Biola?
Me: I don’t know mum, i don’t know oo
Mum: where is she now?
Me: She’s with the doctor at the theatre, they
want to operate her
Mum: Operate ke? What happened
Me: I went to barb my hair this evening, i
came back to the house and saw her on the
bed in her own pool of blood with knife stuck
in her stomach
Mum: who stab her?
Me: I don’t know mummy
Mum: Did she commit suicide?
Me: why will she commit suicide? For what? In
fact she was cooking, i was the one that put
off the cooker when i entered the house and
heard the smell of burnt food
Mum: So, what could have happened? Abi iru
kileleyi ke…..God please come to our aid oo
Me: Am tired mum..what is all this
“we were still at the corridor discussing with
my mum when we saw someone that look like
Biola’s mum approaching, she was actually
the one, she was with Biola junior sister, i
started wondering how she knew we were at
Lasuth that night, Doctor approached us that
same time”
Doctor: Why did it take you guys so much
time before bringing her down here?
Me: we brought her immediately it happened
Doctor: well, we tried our best but its so
unfortunate that we lost her
Biola’s Mum: Lost kini? What do you mean
doctor
Doctor: Am so sorry, she gave up the ghost
during the surgery ooo
Biola’s Mum: Mo ku oooooo……ina omo jo mi
oooo…o ti pami lomo, you killed my daughter,
now you have killed her, you have killed her
abi, now its good like this, you have led me
well….where is baba biola ooooo…..am dead
ooo (she held my cloth so tight and was
dragging me)
My mother didn’t even know what to say,
every one of us was crying seriously, not quite
long they took somebody on a bed which look
like her corpse, i was still deliberating on what
next to do when Biola’s dad arrived late that
night with some policemen, “Officer, this is the
killer” said her father, “Oga, you are under
arrest for the murder of Mz Abiola, you need
to remain silent because whatever you say will
be use against you in the court of Law”…
