Chapter Forty-Three: Amapiki’s downfall

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.

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.

Chapter Thirty-Eight : The Search for Ofor
