Chapter Forty-One: Commissioner Ede's Redeployment
Superintendent Mark Tunde sat in his office, scrutinizing classified files scattered across his desk. The aroma of his tea had long since faded. Rivers State was plagued by rampant crime, corruption, and impunity. The escalating crisis surrounding Raphael Dokubo’s illegal arms trafficking operation had only intensified the turmoil. A few days ago, his team had executed a carefully coordinated raid, uncovering a stockpile of weapons capable of arming an entire battalion. This operation came after a series of secretive surveillance, wiretapping, and deep infiltration into the criminal underworld. Several of Dokubo’s operatives had been detained, and their confessions directly implicated the wealthy businessman in a sprawling arms trafficking network.
