FROM HOOKUP TO HORROR 6.
A story written by Graceful diary.
Oma hurriedly grabbed a jug of water and gently sprinkled it on Madam Lizzy’s face until she woke up. Tired, Madam Lizzy slowly sat up, and Oma and Mercy helped her to a seat in the restaurant as Mercy picked up where she had left off.
“I understand how difficult it is to lose your daughter in such a cruel way. We must seek justice for her, arrest those responsible for her death, and protect the other young women. I came here to work together with you because I cannot do this alone,” Mercy said to Madam Lizzy, who was overcome with tears.
“What justice are you speaking of? My child is gone. What good does it do to save the others now? Do you want people to know that my daughter died because of a hookup? Do you want them to mock me? If justice is what you seek, go and find it, and let me mourn my daughter in peace,” Madam Lizzy replied, struggling to hold back her tears.
Oma and Mercy exchanged glances, understanding the pain and loss she was feeling. They knew they had to tread carefully, as emotions were running high.
Mom, I understand your pain,” Oma said softly. “But we can’t let this go unpunished. My sister deserves justice, and we can’t let her death be in vain. We need to stop this from happening to anyone else.”
Madam Lizzy looked at them, her eyes filled with sadness and anger. She knew they were right, but the thought of facing the reality of her daughter’s death was too much to bear.
“Please, Madam Lizzy,” Mercy pleaded. “I need your help to bring these criminals to justice. Your daughter’s story can save so many other girls from the same fate. We need to stand together and fight for what is right.”
Madam Lizzy took a deep breath, wiping away her tears.
“Okay,” she said finally. “I will help you. But what are we going to do?” Madam Lizzy asked with her eyes wide opened.
👉The police officers and David 👈
As they went deeper into the bush, the police officers suddenly brought the van to a stop, forcefully pulling Ken out of the van.
“I need to act now, or else I won’t survive if they hand me over to those men,” David murmured to himself, pushing past the officers and running with all his strength. The officers had no choice but to fire at him, causing David to scream out in pain as he collapsed, struggling to catch his breath.
“Sir, he tried to run and we had to stop him by ending him,” one of the officers told Mr. Ben, who ordered them to get rid of David’s body and cover up the truth of his death. They then loaded his lifeless form back into the van, making their way to the mortuary.
Once they completed their task, the officers faked a story for the Divisional Police Officer, claiming that David had met his end while attempting to flee from a crime scene. Unfortunately, their false story was accepted as the truth, covering up Mr Ben’s evil deeds.

“Because some officers are working with him , we have to let the world know about this,” Mercy declared.
“But how?” Oma cut in.
“We’ll use social media. I’ll reach out to bloggers, activists, and share it on my own platform to ask for help and expose Mr. Ben and David,” Mercy explained.
“If I had been told that David could do this to my daughter, I wouldn’t have believed it. And the audacity of him showing up here the other day asking about her,” Madam Lizzy said, shaking her head.
“Let’s not dwell on that now, Mom. Mercy has a solid plan, and we should stick to it. Apart from social media, we’ll also go to Abuja to officially report the case, but only when we’re sure it’s safe to avoid Mr. Ben’s men attacking us,” Oma added, with both Mercy and Madam Lizzy agreeing.

Mr. Ben loaded all the parts he had into his car, but he hesitated when it came to taking the ladies along with him. He knew they were desperate to escape and if they managed to run away while untied, it could create trouble for him. Instead, he decided it would be safer to send some boys to get the ladies and drop them off at another location. With that plan in mind, Mr. Ben locked the doors and gate before driving away, ensuring that everything was taken care of before he left.
Just a short while after Mercy reached out to the necessary contacts, the news of her story spread like wildfire, causing a stir among the community members. People had plenty to say to the police officers, urging them to take action.
Upon learning of the situation, the DPO quickly invited Mercy to the station, where she arrived accompanied by Madam Lizzy, Oma, and a few others to ensure their safety during the visit.
Once they were all gathered in the DPO’s office, Mercy narrated the terrible events to him in detail. In response, the DPO quickly sent some of his men to the location that Mercy had identified.
Breaking open the padlock securing the gate, the officers carefully searched every nook and cranny of the premises, including the spot Mercy had pinpointed as the chamber where the remaining ladies were held. However, to their dismay, they found no trace of the victims – the place was spotless, with everything seemingly in order.
“Are you absolutely certain about the location you pointed out?” queried one of the officers, to which Mercy silently nodded in affirmation.
“The men might have gotten information of our search, perhaps with the help of some corrupt officers in their ranks,” Mercy said as they concluded the search and made their way back to the station, the officers locking the gates behind them.
appreciate you getting rid of all the evidence, sir. The police were at the location earlier to collect evidence, and from the information I gathered, they found nothing there. You made the right decision, and I have to commend your quick thinking,” the officer praised Mr Ben, who was shocked. He had been planning to send some men to get the ladies there and couldn’t understand how there was no evidence left behind.
“It wasn’t me who removed it. But who could have done it?” Mr Ben pondered aloud.
“Please keep me updated on any developments, and let me know if anything goes awry. I will do my best to uncover the truth behind this. The only person who could have accessed the location was David, but he’s no longer alive, leaving me puzzled as to who could have taken the Ladies from there,” an anxious Mr Ben stated before ending the call.
Where are the ladies?
Who could have done this?
More twists and turns yet to unfold on the final episode.
