TARASHA
EPISODE 9
Tarasha took a sip of juice after she pasted a
copied text from the internet to a word
document titled “Nnamdi Okafor”. The first page
of the document served as the title page which
had the name “Nnamdi Okafor” boldly typed in
the middle of the page. “Minister of Health” was
typed below the name but not in a font as bold
as that of the name.
The information sent to her by the Chief for the
job only contained the address of the man’s
house, office and some of his family members.
It also contained a brief history of the man, his
companies, assets, his business associates and
high profile friends.
She felt the data provided wasn’t enough for
her to work with as she would be stupid to ust
attack and kill the man in Abuja, the country’s
capital where the man’s businesses and main
house was located; she had to start seeking for
more information.
The internet provided her with so much in just
few hours, she had learnt that the man would
be coming to Lagos State for a conference in
ten days time. She also discovered that the
Hosts of the conference was Derl
Pharmaceutical Industry; largest medicine
producing company in the country and that they
were also inviting other popular health
practitioners from outside the country. The
conference was scheduled to take place in
Eriental Conference hall, Ikeja Lagos.
Since the organizers of the conference were
Derl pharmaceutical company, Tarasha
concluded that they would also be in charge of
the welfare of their guest speakers of which the
minister was one. She decided to visit the
company’s headquarters in Lagos the next day,
Thursday.

Her phone rang just as she saved and closed
the document, a look at the phone’s screen
showed that it was Chief calling.
‘Hello Chief, where have you been?’ She asked
as she answered the call.
‘Hi, I went out to meet someone. I just saw your
missed call now’ Chief replied.
‘Okay, I wanted to discuss something with you
on Skype’
‘What’s it about? Can we discuss now?’
‘Just, I’ll log on immediately’ Tarasha ended the
call.
The first thing she did was to put on her mask,
then she opened the Skype software on the
laptop; the Chief already sent a connection
request.
‘Hi Chief, you’re looking very happy today’ She
commented cheerfully immediately the video
came on.
‘Thank you Tarasha, I met with some old friends
this morning and we had a very nice discussion’
the Chief replied with a smile.
‘That’s cool Chief, let me go straight to the
point now’ Tarasha said and faced the webcam
directly. ‘I’ll be moving into the house you
prepared for me very soon, precisely next
tomorrow’
‘Wow!’ Chief Gab exclaimed happily. ‘Wow! Wow!
What made you reconsider your decision?’
‘I didn’t reconsider my decision, it was my plan
all along to move in there later’
‘Oh! Well, so what plans do we have to make for
you now? The place is well decorated already,
I’m sure you’ll like it’
‘I believe that the kind of place I would like to
stay was already communicated to you before I
came to Nigeria’
‘Yes, we have five large empty rooms in the
house, two sitting rooms, two rooms rooms
already designed for sleeping and we have a
work room there also with three computers’
‘Okay Chief, what I need there now is a
laboratory; I’ll send you a list of equipment,
gases and the chemicals I need there’ Tarasha
explained. ‘It has to be set tomorrow so that I
can start the job’
‘Tomorrow? What kind of lab do you want?’
Chief was surprised at the request. ‘Hope you
don’t need so many things because I don’t think
it will be possible to set up a standard lab
before Friday’
‘That’s why I’m telling you right now; once you
get the list in your email, start working on
getting them’ Tarasha replied calmly. ‘And also
remove every camera you may have installed in
any part of the house, I’ll reinstall them myself’
‘Tarasha, I can’t assure you that the lab is ..
‘I’m not negotiating Chief, the lab must be ready
unfailingly by 12am on Friday morning’ She
interrupted. ‘I’ll also need some of your men to start working with me now, so select two of your men, they must be intelligent, fast drivers with good IT knowledge and also very good gun users.'
'Selecting men for you is not a problem, i can give you twenty if you want but...'
'Chief, i need two guys not twenty, i'll tell you if i need more' she said. Standing up from the seat. You'll have to excuse me now, please make sure everything is set up by Saturday. Have a pleasant day'
