Chapter Forty-Three: Amapiki’s downfall
Lebari Tor sat at the head of his lavish mahogany table, his luxurious home overlooking the glittering Port Harcourt skyline. The room was eerily silent, save for the steady drumming of his fingers against the polished surface. The evidence before him painted a disturbing picture: Senator Amapiki, the man he had mentored and supported for years, was secretly associating with Prince Raphael Dokubo. The realization filled him with equal measures of anger and disgust.Prince Dokubo wasn’t just another criminal. He was the region's clandestine power broker, overseeing an expansive network of illicit activities, from oil theft to human trafficking.

His investments and trust had been betrayed, and such disloyalty couldn’t go unpunished.He studied the incriminating photographs once more.

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. For a moment, it appeared justice might triumph, and Rivers State could glimpse a path out of lawlessness. However, that hope was short-lived. In a decision that defied both reason and ethics, Police Commissioner Obed Ede ordered
Chapter Forty: The Fall of Governor Okutu
Lebari Tor is no ordinary man. To those who knew him, he was a shrewd businessman, a philanthropist, and a political benefactor.

Rivers State was his chessboard, and its leaders were nothing more than pawns in his grand design.To him, wealth was never the goal. It was merely a tool. His true ambition was control. The thought of bending an entire state to his will filled him with satisfaction. Yet Governor Okutu had proven a thorn in his side.Okutu was not a saint. His administration had its flaws, and his decisions often sparked debates. But one thing was clear: his loyalty was to the people of Rivers State, not to the elite who sought to dictate the rules.

Towe
Chapter Thirty-Eight : The Search for Ofor
Mark Tunde sat in a confined office of the police station , his fingers tapping rhythmically against a pile of papers on his desk. The evidence was scant yet persuasive, and the secrets Justin had shared earlier still resonated in his mind. Justin’s information pointing out that Raphael Dokubo, a man celebrated for both his immense wealth and philanthropy, was entangled in murder and arms smuggling, was not something to dismiss lightly.Having spent years as a police officer, Mark understood the power wielded by men like Dokubo .
