"Objection my lord, the Barrister is using foul words in
the court. "Objection sustained" Justice Okoro shouted. Barrister,
vulgar words are not allowed in this court. "I guess all am trying to say is, even if my client truly
said what Fidelis has accused him of, then he probably
said it under the influence of alcohol. But there is a
difference of seven hours between past 3 and past 10.
So am sure the alcohol must have cleared from my
client's face even before his wife came back so he wouldn't carry out an action he had said when still
under the influence of alcohol. I rest my case" Barrister
clement concluded.

10:45PM 11th AUGUST 2013 The sound of siren blaring in the atmosphere would
give you the impression that the president of the
federal republic of nigeria was passing, but why would
the president pass through a slum?
Neighbours had gathered to catch a glimpse of the 'VIP'
that was disturbing their peaceful night rest. They were shocked to see an ambulance and a police van parked in
front of Mr. Jacobs house. Mr. Jacobs was a peace lover who was known by all and
sundry. He was one of the few men who had
courageously stood up and volunteered himself to fight
against the incessant armed robbery attacks in the
area.
The neighbours couldn't go close to the area for fear of police but some few people were saying that armed
robbers had attacked the family and shot someone.
It was only when they saw Mr.Jacobs coming out with
handcuffs that they knew it was more than an
armedrobbery attack.
He was bundled into the police van while a body carried on a stretcher was dropped inside the ambulance. It
was covered with a white linen.
The Police van drove away while the Ambulance drove
away via a seperate route. A small car followed the
ambulance.
*************
"Dr. Amos, please come to the dock" Barrister clement
called out.
A smart looking young man walked to the dock. "How are you feeling Dr. Amos?" Barrister clement
asked. "Like never before" he replied. "Great! So you were the head of the medical team that
went to the house of Mr. Jacobs that day. Anything you
would want the court to hear?" Barrister clement asked. "As you must have heared, the ambulance conveying
the corpse was involved in a ghastly accident and it
caught fire. Before then however, i was able to remove
the bullet from the patient's body" Dr. Amos explained. "Oh!! That reminds me" Barrister clement said and
walked to his bag. He brought out a transparent
polyethene bag.
"Inside this leather bag is the bullet that hit Mrs. Grace.
See, i'm not a millitary personnel so i took this bullet to
the soldier base and i was told that this is a Soviet 5.45x39mm millitary grade bullet. The question is,
where would an odinary vigilante get this kind of
bullet? Although am sure a soldier officer has access to
such bullets" he paused a little bit for his information to
pierce the heart of his listeners. "Any other thing you would want this court to hear?" he
asked Doctor Amos. "yes, one more thing. When i was examining the victim,
i discovered the bullet pierced her at the side of her
abdomen. I dont know if that will help" "Sure,it will help alot" Barrister clement said and turned
to face the court.
According to Mr.paul, the deceased was facing her
husband who was pointing a gun at his wife while he
walked in through the door. He was at the left hand
side of Mrs. Grace and the right hand side of Mr. Jacobs. Again, i am not a millitary personnel but i dont know of
any bullet that can carry out a parabolic kind of motion.
If my client truly shot the gun, the bullet would have
pierced the deceased at the Front and not on the side. I
rest my case" he smiled and went back to his seat. "Would you like to cross-examine the witness?" Justice
Okoro asked. "Yes, your honour" Barrister briggs answered and stood
up. He was with a picture. "Dr. Amos, please look carefully at this picture, are your
the one in this picture?" Barrister briggs asked.
Dr. Amos took a brief look at the picture. It was his
graduation party. He snapped with Barrister clement
and Mr. Jacobs. They all graduated from the same
university. "yes am the one" Dr. Amos replied. "So you are friends with Mr. Jacobs?" "Yes" Dr. Amos replied.
Barrister Briggs then turned and faced the court.
"As a boy growing up, i knew how friendship could be. I
could do anything for my friends. How are we sure that
Dr. Amos here is not trying to save his friend?" "It is unethical, i can never do such" Dr. Amos cut in. "But is there a possibility that someone can do such a
thing?" Barrister Briggs asked. "Someone, but definitely not me" Dr. Amos replied. "My lord, Dr. Amos just admitted that it is possible for
someone to lie just to cover up his friend's act. I hereby
rest my case" he said. Justice Okoro looked at his wristwatch, the court session
was already taking longer than he had expected. He
decided he was going to adjourn the case after the next
witness.
"anyother witness? He asked. "Yes your honour" barrister clement shouted.
My last witness is Mrs. Grace Jacobs, please come out". The wh0l£ court was shocked. Can a ghost testify?
Barrister clement just looked at Barrister Briggs and
smiled mischievously.

11:00PM, 11Th AUGUST 2013 The Ambulance was travelling at a 'break neck' speed
that Dr.Amos who was in the other car was finding it
difficult to follow them.
"what's wrong with this driver sef" Dr.Amos said to
himself and picked up his phone.
"Adamu, whats wrong with you? Reduce your speed" he spoke to the person on the other end. "Doctor the patient just sneezed, she is still alive" the
driver informed Dr. Amos.
Dr. Amos was shocked. He was personally at the Jacobs
house when the patient died.
"Adamu what are you talking about, the patient already
gave up" The next thing Dr. Amos heard from the other end was
Jesus! Jesus!! Jesus!!! He raised up his head and saw that
the ambulance was just involved in an accident.
The driver of the ambulance was so engrossed in the
call he was making with Dr. Amos that he didn't notice
he was about entering a 'T-junction'. A toyota Tundra 2013 model was also aproaching the junction with
nitro speed. Before Adamu, the driver of the ambulance
could do anything, the Tundra hit him so hard from the
side. The ambulance swayed away from the road, its
tyres were not able to hold fast to the coal tar.
The force of the collision, coupled with the bad road made the ambulance to somersault and in the process,
the back door opened and grace's body fell to the
ground. Dr. Amos quickly applied his brake and his car came to a
hault. He came out and ran to check the ambulance for
survivors.
He saw grace lying on the ground. He picked her up and
took her to his car. She was calling out weakly
"Jacobs…Jacobs..Jacobs" After dropping her in his car, Dr. Amos wanted to go
back to the ambulance when he heard an explosion.
The ambulance went up in flames. The smoke was so
thick one would think it's an evil spirit hovering over
the Ambulance.
The tundra also had its fair share of damage and Dr.Amos was in a state of dilemma, whether to check
the tundra for survivors or take grace home for medical
attention. He opted for the later, he took grace to his
house but not before calling his hospital to inform
them of the accident. It was at Dr. Amos home that grace was treated without
the knowlege of anybody.
+++++++
Somewhere around the neighborhood of the court,
there was a 6 story building. It was the building of
'Gmax group of companies'.
On the roof of the building stood a young man, he was
wearing a khaki and a black hood. His phone rang and
he picked it. "Agent white, the operation parameter has changed,
new target is Grace Jacobs" a voice spoke from the
other end. "Grace Jacobs? I thought she was dead?" agent white
asked. "Thats what they made us believe, but right now she is
about to testify. Agent white brought out his binoculars and viewed the
court building.
"i see her" he said. "make sure she doesn't testify. If she does then our
man would go to prison" the voice said. "Trust me, she is going back to the land of the dead"
agent white said. He touched his sniper and smiled
"come on baby, we have work to do" he said.
*************
Grace walked to the front slowly. Some people were
even making way for her, nobody wanted to touch a
ghost. She looked at the Judge, unlike others, he wasn't
shocked. He had seen more suprises. She looked at her
father, she couldn't read his mind. She walked into the
witness box and Barrister clement came forward to question her. Meanwhile, at the roof of 'Gmax group of companies,
agent white's phone rang and he picked it up.
"Whats wrong with you, she is almost testifying" a
voice shouted. "I dont have a clear view, someone is in my line of
sight" agent white replied. "I dont care, shoot the im'becile" the voice shouted
back and the line went dead. ***************
"How are you doing?" Barrister clement asked Mrs.
Grace. She held back tears and she spoke
"I'm fine" "what really happened to you?" Tuuuuaaaaaaah!!! The sniper was shot.
Everybody scampered to safety. "someone has just been shot! Call the paramedics" A
police officer at the premises shouted..
