Chapter 51

  DETENTION

  Monday- 2:00pm

  Safiya was with two of her boxes as she dragged them toward home which was already in sight.

  Safiya had been living with Raliat's parents since she was six and that was when she lost her father to a plane crash.

  Her mother was nowhere to be found, even before the death of her father.

  She was two years older than Raliat and was a final year student of Architecture.

  Mr. Usman had just dumped his backpack into the car booth and was about to enter the car, fully dressed and prepared for his journey to Abuja, when he spotted Safiya coming into the compound.

  He had waited for Raliat's call all morning so he could go to the office to hand over things to Ayoade and introduce him to the other staff before embarking on his journey. There had been a change of plans and he needed to be in Abuja before the end of that day.
