James had no cause to travel to South Africa anymore. He would surely ensure that the guilty ones suffered; Toyosi would have to pay back all his cash she stole while John would pay for his evil deeds too. There was no iota of pity in James blood for the guilty ones.
The Chief Warden, as soon as he heard
the news of John and
Toyosi’s arrest, made attempt to flee the
country to Benin
Republic, but was caught at the border.
He definitely had a hand
in everything from A to Z. He was the
one who killed the man
who discovered John earlier, just in the
name of saving himself.
Now nemesis had caught up with him.
John was helpless when he knew that
Toyosi’s husband was
his younger brother. He couldn’t help but
weep like a baby, but
no amount of tears would keep him away
from the law—the
whole world knew about the case already,
so there wasn’t
going to be a way of escape for him.
The truth came to limelight that John
and Toyosi actually
intended keeping my mother in jail
forever. They were
responsible for her relocation from the
first Maximum Prison to
the second maximum prison after paying
the Chief Wardens in
charge some amount of money. The
pictures John took with
her were actually taken two years after
her imprisonment,
having given her the impression that she
was being released,
but otherwise, she was relocated.
I went in company of the Judge, Moses,
James and my aunty
to the maximum prison where my mother
was. I wished to
see her badly—more than anyone else
would have wished. I
couldn’t imagine how my tears would
flow at the sight of my
mother. Eventually we got to the prison
yard and began to
make enquiry.
“We have come to see an inmate,” Mr.
Joe said.
“What is her name sir?” asked the warden
in charge.
“Hannah,” Moses said.
“Hannah?” the warden asked with a
grotesque on his face.
“Yes, Hannah,” we said, envisaging
something unpleasant.
“Oh, Hannah…she was hanged just this
morning,” the warden
said and I fainted when my aunty signed
it to me. Seemed she
was carried away with the sign she was
doing that she forgot
that the information would be very much
detrimental to me.
My dream had actually come to
fulfillment…
