STORY: Legend Of An Ikotun Boy…Part 10

We met at an eatery… To discuss about the plan
and our profit… We decided to strike on a Friday
night..when they’ll have left the office for the
mosque or their homes..
The day came faster than expected… We met in a
lecture theatre as planned…
“Guy now is the time o”… I said
“Dude make we pray”… John advised..
‘Shio pray?? Shey u think say God go look ur
side?’… I’m a realist I always face the truth,
whether ugly or beautiful…so praying in a scenario
like this is a waste of time..
Well it seems God was against us…cos we left
traces(mistakes) here nd there..
We Broke in, we didn’t get a key… I’m sure the
security man should have been alerted by that…
Well we raided a couple of offices successfully
gathering our merchandise…
But if God be against you who’ll be for you… The
security ma eventually came looking for us…
“who goes there”? He asked..
“who goes there?” He asked for the second time..
On hearing this we were scared to death, we
never planned of getting busted (atleast if we did
we would have known what to do by now)..
The security man started raiding every office
opened… There’s 8 offices in that building…8
different lecturers’ office ..
I must say the security man was a smart one…
Cos he knew we would start from the top floor
incase of any danger… He checked the
groundfloor’s office to be sure of his theory and it
was confirmed…the ground floor’s offices were
untouched….
We were hearing footsteps climbing the stairs…
I whistled to alert John, but the slow’poke didn’t
get my signal..
…The Footsteps were getting closer, I had to run
into the office from the door post that I was..
“John…E don be o…the security is coming after
us” …
He hurriedly carried the Questions…and darted for
the exit…
The security man hearing loud footsteps upstairs
ran after us…it was a hot chase… We ran to the
top floor..I was leading while John was following..
He was right behind us… Shooting after us!!
“John get down–get down!!” I shouted
as I threw a flower vase at him…which he shot to
pieces…We were so scared, but we dare not stop
running…we saw another door leading somewhere
we weren’t sure of where it was leading us to but
we just had to keep moving …Behold, the door led
to the roof…the roof is decked…. He ran to the far
corner, while he also followed us…
“Hands Up!!, stop there Or I shoot!!”
We had no choice but to stop where we were!!
We were busted or so I thought.
“na una dey theif things for this building abi?? Na
una wan make me lose my job abi??…Thank God
say I don catch una!! He said smiling…
He pointed a Torch to our face…but we were
wearing a clothed mask…
“oya remove the mask…” he ordered…
