BLOODY THURSDAY

Oga, Good afternoon Sir, the security man saluted as he greeted me. "Yeah, how you dey", I asked. "Oga see your boy o, I just dey", the security man replied.

I was about leaving when the security man said, "Oga find the least give your boys nau". Smiling and searching my pocket; I did not have much on me so I said, "Omor nothing dey o,next time abeg".

The security guy then said, "This one , una close work early today...Yes work load no too much today".

Alright take care, I said as I took my leave. I was elated as I exited the hospital premises. Early this morning, I was contemplating if i could go shopping after work, because I was uncertain when I would close from work.

Work load was less, so because of that ,Our boss permitted us to leave early enough. Immediately I got out of the premises, I boarded a cab to the shopping city/plaza in the heart of the town. I got to the shopping city some few minutes after, I walked smartly to my favorite mall. I began bargaining the prices of some sleeve shirts, jeans and trousers for my cooperate wears.

Amidst bargaining the prices with my potential marketer, I noticed something fishy taking place in some mall, a stone-throw from mine. Some random guy, I guess they are called pick-pocket guys, He dipped his hands into a woman's bag and took out her cell phone. The woman didn't notice that as she was arguing the price of some foodstuffs with the wholesaler and marketer.

Some of the brave by-passers and buyers, who spotted him began following the thief in the midst of the crowd.He struggled to get away the item, but the persons following him were pressing in on Him. He smartly dropped the cellphone. He dipped his hands into the woman's bag and took out her cellphone.

The woman did not notice that as she was arguing the price of some foodstuff with the retailer, some of the brave buy-passers and buyers who spotted him began to follow the thief in the midst of the crowd. He struggled to get away with the items, but the persons following him were pressing in on him.

He smartly dropped the cell phone into the bag pack net of some innocent guy at a mall nearby. The innocent guy was about leaving with the stuffs he bought ignorant of the phone in his bag net. The pick pocket guy yelled, distracting everyone in the shopping city.

O boy! where the phone, where the phone dey? The innocent guy was shocked...Where that woman phone where you carry? Before the innocent guy could spell Jack Robinson, the thief brought out the phone from the guys bag net. He waved the phone in the air for all to see.

The woman whose phone was stolen arrived the scene, she identified the phone to be hers and immediately, the pick pocket guy stylishly left the scene. The persons who were pursuing the thief were a bit confused, but they had no choice to descend on the new thief.

The innocent guy wasn't given the opportunity to declare his innocence as the "akporo" guys began driving nails, pins, wires,etc, into his body. He was tossed from one place to another. He was beaten into unconsciousness as nobody could save him. All the pleas from I and some women who witnessed the entire event was to no avail.

Finally, a tyre was thrown around his neck and he was lit up. It was indeed an event nobody should behold and I don't wish such for even my worst enemy.
