However, deliberations, suggestions, clarification as well as disagreement were laid down."Mr President Just like the governor's suggestion, it'd be too late to begin the evacuation process but in the meantime, I think the 24-hour curfew would do" The Senate president suggested. He sat close to Yakubu, at the president's right hand."24-hour curfew you say" The Inspector General of police interrupted "But do we disclose what is going on to the public? Why we are enforcing a curfew" The IGP placed a question on the table. Everybody knew the answer to his question."That would be impossible.

Since it was the only route to JDK headquarters, The Correctional unit had to drive through the area in their huge black van. The vehicle was mainly specified for the transportation of hardened criminals like Muiz.Muiz was handcuffed with chains, on his leg and hands. At the back of the van, six armed police officers guarded Muiz. They sat still on the bench placed inside the van, staring at one another with no words in their mouth. The only voices that were heard were from the driver and his colleague."Gee guess what happened" the driver who went by the name ebuka spoke to his colleague who sat with a bottle of gin in his left hand."Oh let me guess, the girl that you've been stalking has finally decided to go on a date with you" Dayo replied and then phased in a chuckle du
Time: 16:55:01 PMLocation: Somewhere around never.Ben sat still inside the Nissan car he stole, staring at his watch impatiently. He glanced at both the rear mirror and the side mirror. He was waiting for someone.Deep in his mind, he knew he just did something bad, something that could put him behind bars for the rest of his life. But he had to do it, he had to commit that grievous crime just because of his son.

One took the bag from her and the other held her firmly, in a non-polite way dragging her towards his boss."Hey, don't you treat her like that alright? she's the president's fucking daughter. Treat her with respect" he ended giving his goon a deadly look. Quickly he released her before stepping back a little."So is the money complete?" He asked before dragging the cigarette.
