I DIDN’T KILL BAAMI.
Episode 5
I became unconscious inside the cupboard. I don’t know how long I laid there but when I opened my eyes, I realized I was not just in an ordinary cupboard.
It seems like an outer space similar to a shrine.
Then I saw mama’s body. And Uncle Jide’s body. And that of aunty Simi, Uncle Jide’s wife.
I saw some other bodies I couldn’t recognise too.
The odour emanating from the place is enough to wake a dead man. I was still trying to understand how I got in here when my eyes fell on some wooden statue.
They looked like they represented something. A family.
MY FAMILY.
There were 7 children but 5 were tied together with a red and black rope. Those 5 had no head. They must represent my five dead brothers.
Then beside the five, was two statue. That must be Bisola and I.
A red rope was tied to our neck and there was a toothpick in Bisola’s Head.
Lastly I saw mama’s statue. Tied with a large chain but it’s head was intact. But mama is dead?
I looked at her corpse and saw that her body just moved.
I tried to scream but an invisible hand held my mouth which prevented me from shouting.
She was pointing at something. At mama’s statue. Her statue. What is she trying to tell me?
This invisible being pushed me toward the statue.
“The chains”. Something whispered into my ears.
I quickly loosed the chain and untied the rope around Bisola and I.
That was the last thing I remember before I passed out, untill Baami and Bisola’s husband woke me up with their noise.
“You cannot stop me. I know you’re hiding my wife and child inside this house. Evil man. Bring my wife now!!?”
“Don’t enter that room!!!”
Baami must have had a tough time with him. Baami could have easily handled him. What happened?
The door. I heard it burst open.
“Jesus!!”. Bisola’s husband screamed as he met his unconscious wife on the floor.
“Evil man. You want to use my wife for ritual abi? Your own daughter? Where is my son? Infact, I’ll be back for you.”
He must have carried her and about to leave the room when Baami shouted back at him..
“Do not take her to a hospital, else she will die.”
That was all I heard, then the door was shut and I became unconscious again only for me to wake up on my bed, in my room.
“Where have you been?”.
Baami came into my room, looking very angry.
