CAUGHT RAPING HIS MOTHER.

Kazzim was taken to a herbalist in Egi-Oyo Ipo, a very small hamlet in Kwara state. The herbalist made some incantations, gave him some concoctions to drink and for the first time his eyes came down.

The smiles on our faces was aborted when the herbalist came to announce to us "I see death on his

forehead". We can only remove this death if only he can confess the secret in his belly.

Nneka: "...", "Secret?" Nneka shouted.

Nneka: "Kassim why have you hid the secret for this long even to the point of death? The same secret baba pastor wanted you to confess that you refused. Now that you are face to face with death, will you speak up and save your life or keep your secret and die?"

Even at this Kassim, was not willing to say anything.

His dad was the first to break the silence. He pleaded with the herbalist to let him talk on behalf of his

son.

Fifteen years ago, Kassim was caught raping his mother while I was away at the farm. Kazzim was

arrested by the youth of their village and taken to Kabiyesi(king).

The ifa priest was invited to seek the face of

the gods and to pronounce judgement on him. They were asked to bring two live cows, twenty one black

fowls, seven kegs of palm wine and some monies for sacrifice. They did everything they were asked to do

and he was banished from the village for three years. Nneka's body went cold on hearing all what Kassim's father had said.

Nneka: So my husband had done this terrible abomination without telling me? No wonder my womb

could not conceive even for one day after I married him. Nneka wept as if her eye balls will fall off from its socket.

The herbalist checked through his calabash again, "The death sentence is still hanging", he said.

There are still many atrocities he is yet to confess. He has just seven days to confess or he will join his

ancestors in the land beyond, the herbalist warned.

Nneka grabbed Kassim and shook him hard, "why do you want to die untimely? Look at death starring at you, yet you are still hiding secrets, please confess and set yourself free". There is nothing that will be more shocking than what your daddy had already confessed on your behalf. Nneka went on her kneels begging her husband to say something but he was adamant.

How can a man be this hardened even at the face of death? Nneka didn't know this is the type of man I married, her thoughts were almost louder than words.

Three days has passed but her husband refused to confess and his condition got worsen by the day.

Death was all written all over him but he was indifferent.

On the fifth day his hands and legs stopped moving. His condition graduated to partial stroke.

Toyin wasn't happy with Nneka because of her romance with the diabolical arena because of her unyielding husband.

Sincerely, Nneka said she had forgotten she was a born again Christian until Toyin began to ask her if she followed them to the herbalist shrine.

But what could she have done? To sit back while they carry her husband to places she don't know?

Nneka knew she had compromised her faith but there wasn't any option left for her. She wouldn't have been there if Kassim had confessed to baba pastor.
