Chapter 59

  THE ARREST

  Friday 12:00 pm

  Habib came out of the police station with a smile. He was now at peace with himself after seeing Salamat and asking her for forgiveness. She had forgiven him without a second thought and was very happy to see him.

  When he informed her of Habibah's death, she couldn't help but shed tears. Habib also wept as he recalled the fact that the girl he shared a bond with, was long gone. She was dead because of their unidentified father.

  Habib and his mother heard about the death of Ayoade when they went to visit his mother's friend. They were close to the compound of brother Jamiu when they saw people trooping into the compound. His mother's friend informed them about the death of Ayoade and the belief that Salamat was responsible for the death.

  He knew right away that something was amiss and this was the perfect time to make amends for not only his mistakes but also that of his mother and late sister, Habibah.
