Wanted Her For His Son

“Sir! I have come with some updates regarding the young man you ordered us to eliminate. It seems he was not Miss Ify’s actual boyfriend. Here is her boyfriend’s picture”. A man dressed in black suit said to the Governor. He passed a brown envelope to the governor, Adewale. Adewale asked him to open it himself, which he did. The picture right before the governor’s eyes was that of Odenigbo. On seeing the photo, the Governor asked the informant if he was sure the person in the picture is the actual boyfriend of Ify. And if he was, who was the guy they killed?

“Sir he was at your residence once. He claimed to be Ify’s boyfriend and therefore caused a rift between Her Excellency, your wife and Ify. Aside from that, we do not know anything that could have connected them together. The young man who had taken the punishment for Odenigbo, Ify’s actual boyfriend is vast in internet operation. He sells electronic wears. And he hails from Omo state. Ebubenna Ifechukwu is his name Sir”. The informant said. Then he immediately added that someone already called to claim the body of the young man.

“Miss Olanrewaju Olayinka! She works for Her Excellency, Olasile”. The man said. The Governor told him to find out the relationship between Lanre and the man that they had killed in place of Ify’s actual boyfriend. The informant left ready to carry out the order of His Excellency, Adewale Adekunle.

After the informant has gone out, Adewale sat down on his office chair. There was only one question in his head.

“Why would that young man claim to be Ify’s boyfriend when he is not only to be a friend of Lanre. Was it Lanre’s plan that he pretends to be Ify’s boyfriend? If so, why did he not defend himself?”

It pained the Governor that the dead can’t talk. He would have forced the answer out of his mouth. But it intrigued the Governor that Lanre ever tried to fight to be with his son. Such a willful woman will support Kehinde and they will achieve so many things together. He was certain. These were his thoughts until he got information from his informant what they had found.

Ebube has a permit to ship his goods into the country without paying custom fees. And these was obtained by Lanre on his behalf. He had used the permit once. And would be using it the second time if he had not been killed.

The Governor asked the informant to find out who Lanre has been working with to have obtained such. So far he knows about her, she was not from an influential family. How could she have gotten such? What sought of connection does Lanre have? And how did she get it? As far as the Governor was concerned, such things does not come free. But he would have to be patient and careful when it comes to Lanre. She is the woman his son love, she is carrying his grandchild as well. And he also wanted her for his son.
