CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Early in the morning around 6:00 am at Jim's village, Mr Bennett and his wife having a good laugh over a joke and sweeping the yard.

Just then, a Hilux jeep entered their compound, four armed policemen came out of the Hilux jeep as well as Jim and Umaru. Mrs Angela's jaw almost fell off.

"Good morning, I am Inspector Eric Achi, you are under arrest for the death of one Miss Joan" inspector Eric Achi said showing his identity card.

"Officer what are you saying? Jim! What is the meaning of this?" Mr Bennett asked.

"You and your wife is under arrest and you have the right to remain silent because anything you say will be used against you in the court of law" The Inspector warned.

Mrs Angela tried to run but the police officers held her.

"Jim! Jim! What did I do to you? After all we did for you this is how you pay us? That lady didn't deserve you Jim can't you see? I am your mother, you should know that I have your best interest at heart. Jim! Say something! Are you dumb?" Mrs Angela asked in tears.

"Officer cuff this people! Murderers! I didn't know the both of were a total disgrace to humanity. Officer please be quick" Jim yelled at the officers.

"It was all for you Jim. We wanted to protect you! We love you Jim" Mr Bennett said.

"I curse you Jim!! I curse you! Stop this madness now" Mrs Angela shouted with frustration while the police dragged her.

Jim kept quiet with a serious face.

The officers cuffed Mr Bennett and his wife and dragged them to the Hilux jeep.

"I died when she died... You have no son to love. I disown the both of you" Jim said in tears.

The whole neighbors gathered and watched the whole thing.
