ππ€° My Pregnant Wife Episode Five:
I was locked in a cell
Before the officers left, the female officer told me:
βIf you have any God youβre serving, begin to pray to him. Your case is more than seriousβ, she concluded
As she made to leave, I called out:
βExcuse me. Whatβs your name?β
βBella. Bella Alphonsusβ, she said as she displayed the name on her shirt
βAre you married, Bella?β
βNo. but I have a child. A baby girlβ
βBella, my wife is pregnant. I canβt stay here for up to six months. Sheβs a woman like you. Youβve been there before. My lawyerβs number is in your phone. Please call him for me tomorrow morning. In case that lady calls, please let me speak with her.β
βNo problemβ, she assured and made to leave
βBellaβ, I called back
βIf you canβt get any of them on phone, then by tomorrow morning, youβll have to go to my house at No 242A Oron Road, Uyo. Tell my wife that I was arrested and bring her here. But most importantly, please bring my phone.β
She did not respond
I saw sadness in her eyes
She returned to her duty post with her colleagues
I was left alone
My heart beat increased
I began to sweat
I knelt down and began to pray
I prayed for my wife and my unborn baby
I knew my wife was worried
I increased the tempo
I prayed for strength to endure what was to come
For more than an hour was still praying
Two hours later, she returned
I was glad that at least she had reached one person
But no, I was wrong
She came to break a news to me
A bombshell
βThe woman is deadβ, she said
βWhich woman?β
βThe one you helped to the hospital. The wife of the AIGβ, she answered
I froze
Everything in me stopped
The blood in me dried up
My heart beat ceased
My wet eyes dried up
As if that was not enough, she added:
βThe IG has ordered that you be transferred to the Force Headquarters, Abuja, first thing tomorrow morning. At this point, thereβs nothing we can do anymore. The Commissioner is preparing your case file as we speak.β
That was the last straw that broke the camelβs back.
I tried to say something, but I couldnβt. There was no way to reach any of my people
I watched as she sadly walked away
I wanted to call her back, but I lost my voice
At that point, I recalled what that middle aged man told me at the hospital after ordering my arrest: βIf I were you, I would keep quiet and save my strength for what is to comeβ
Indeed, I needed the strength, and plenty of it.
I had been hearing of innocent men going to prison for the crime they did not commit
I started thinking of how my lawyer will have to travel to Abuja and perfect my bail conditions
βIf I survive this, I will never render any form of assistance to anyone againβ, I said
Then I saw a male officer passing by
I called his attention and he came closer
βAbeg Oga wetin time talk?β, I asked
βE don knack 5β, he replied
I did not even bother to thank him
That was 5am
In less than 2 hours I will be transferred to the Force Headquarters
What a world!
Few minutes later, I sensed something
Bella came running
She hinted me that I was to be moved before 6am
βPlease call my lawyer againβ
She dialed the number, but the phone was still off
βPlease dial the other number. The ladyβs numberβ
She dialed and it was still off.
She looked at me and told me she was sorry
βDonβt beβ, I said
βWhat is that your address again?β, she asked
β242A Oron Road, Uyo. Inform her for me. Tell her to call the lawyer. He will know what to do.β
She assured me as she returned to her duty post
I did not sleep throughout the night
I made up my mind to be moved to Abuja
I waited for them
It clocked 6am, they did not show up
30 minutes gone, no one came
Finally, Bella came smiling
Why was she smiling?
βThe real criminals have been apprehendedβ, she said as she opened the cell
βThe Commissioner is waiting for you in his officeβ
βThat means I can now go home?β
βI think soβ, she replied
I did not say anything again as we walked back to the counter
I got my clothes and put them on
I collected my ATM and we proceeded to the Commissionerβs office on the 3rd floor immediately
I met the middle aged man I met earlier at the hospital as he was entering the Commissionerβs office
At the other side of the room was a pot-bellied man with tribal marks all over his face
He was sitting majestically and well relaxed
They exchanged their routine salutations while I just stood there with a face as heavy like Olumo Rock
βYoung man what is your name?β, the Commissioner asked
βEzekiel. Ezekiel Umorenβ I responded emotionally
You know the kind of humiliating pains you go through for the wrong you did not commit
I was pained
βMr. Ezekiel, we are very sorry for all you went through since last night. The real culprits have been arrested. My driver will take you home immediately. Please accept this token from us for the inconveniences.β
He pulled a bundle of five hundred naira notes from his drawer
At that point, the man in me left
I tried to control my emotions, but I couldnβt
I let it out
I cried
I sank on the chair close to his table and covered my face on the table
I cried like newly married woman whom the cold hands of death has snatched her husband away from her
I lifted up my face and discovered he was still thrusting out his hand with the money in it
I stood up and asked:
βCan I go now?β
βOf course you can go. But take this for your transport, even though my driver will drop youβ
βI donβt need your money and I can find my way home. Thank youβ
Deep down me, I was considering suing them and claiming damages
But that would be later
