DAYO.
Since this guy's came apart from the first day we slept in the children nursery, the sitting room has been our bedroom, children nursery, the sitting room is so messed up.
I expected the policemen to visit for questioning in these few days maybe they could free us but No, I didn't see them.
They were the hope I had since they promise to come to our home for questioning, this means the police did nothing about my wife being missing.
I didn't tell dad because he is hypertensive but I know by now he must have been trying our lines and he could come around anytime from now.
I thought.
I was still thinking when one of the goons cellphone rang all I heard was "OK" I was scared thinking the time has come to kill us and I could tell my mom is already shaking, my kids are playing in our hands.
The goon who received the call then go to the others and whispers to them and the started packing their things and they went round the house to see if they did not leave anything and the goon who received the call brings something out of his pocket and stretches it to me, I could see it's a cheque.
" My boss said for the inconvenience" I just stared at him.
" Tell your boss, I don't know if it is he or she tell the person to bring back my wife to pay for the inconveniences!
" Ah, Dayo, Dayo!! My mom speaking in a whispering tone. Please stop fighting them and collect the cheque, this ones are stronger than us, atleast they will leave us alone.
" Mommy No! I am not taking this because it's like selling my wife.
The goon just dropped the cheque on the table and they all walk out of the gate?
My mother knelt down.
" Finally, we are free since how many days? thank you lord," she says I quickly rush to lock the gate.
They didn't leave my phone and mom's phone.
I Return into the house. " My wife is not back yet" I said. " Who could the person be? Who is this person that forces us to sign a divorce paper?
" Look my son, the first solution first is how we would leave this place, let's go to our place till this thing does down.
" I need to go to the police station" I said.
" To do what? To report the goons or to report the police to themselves that they have refuse to do proper investigation? Can't you see that it's clear that your wife is gone, it's either she and the person planned it or she has been forced to become a wife, what if they are terrorist and they have done your wife like Leah Sharibu, maybe they already married her, my son I am begging you please pity me, I do not want to mourn your death"
I slumped into the chair at the mention of Leah sharibu but then I remembered the cheque and pick it up and I saw 10,000,000 naira on it and I said to mom.
" This is not a terrorist thing it's somebody who is rich, it's just an individual, a terrorist will never offer 10 million naira for inconveniences and I turn the back of the check and it stated cash this money and don't ever look for Nini again , she's now my wife"
