EPISODE 21B
possible plans for their new task. Earlier that
day when she and Cole worked to gather
information about the Governor on the internet,
they also visited his twitter profile and studied
several tweets mentioning his handle and those
including his name in the text. Out of the
several hundreds of tweets that had his handle
mentioned, three got Tarasha’s attention.
One was from the Rivers State Commissioner of
works and transport, reporting the progress of a
bridge project. The other was from a popular
artiste who displayed his invitation to a dinner
night with the governor.
The last one was from a news reporting media,
Desert Reporters. They tweeted one of their
headlines which talked about an Engineering
student of the Port Harcourt University who had
just successfully manufactured a small airplane
singlehandedly. The tweet read “Governor of
Rivers State, Kelechi Edwin commends
engineering student John @Johnnonexistent
who manufactured an air plane, plans to visit
on…”
With the tweet as a lead, Tarasha visited the
student’s twitter profile and gathered more
information about the record breaking feat
achieved. She got to know what kind of airplane
it was and specifications of the size, she also
found out that the plane had been tested by
several professors of the University and experts
from outside the country already. The video of
the several test run was recorded and uploaded
on YouTube and had since attracted so many
views from in and outside the country.
Governor Kelechi Edwin and the country’s
minister of aviation were to visit and have a
special flight in the plane on the eighteenth day
of the month.

‘Wait! Scroll up a little, I think I saw Samantha
now’ James said to secretary who scrolled
down the list hurriedly. He had been standing
beside her for minutes, watching while she
logged in to the School Administrative portal to
get a list of all the pharmacy students in thee
school.
Officer Segun and Dr. Hammed also came to
the school with him. They had gone to see the
Vice chancellor of the school who then
redirected them to the pharmacy department
and instructed the department’s secretary to
show them a list of the pharmacy students in
their database.
‘That’s 200 level not 300’ she replied him
without bothering to obey his order
‘Let’s see it’ he insisted stubbornly
She scrolled up and halted where she saw the
name, ‘this is Samantha David, isn’t it Osman
you’re looking for?’
‘Can we see her profile?’ he requested
She clicked on the name and the student’s
profile appeared. Samantha David was in 200
level, eighteen years of age and had the matric
number 745666.
‘Is this the girl?’ James asked, turning to face
the doctor.
Doctor Hammed stood up from the sofa where
he and Segun was seated and walked to the
table to get a clearer view of the passport
photograph displayed on the profile, ‘No, not this
one. Samantha Osman is not as dark as this’
‘Please, let’s continue’ James pleaded with the
secretary.
The other Samantha that was found after
scrolling the whole list was a 400 level student
which Dr. Hammed responded negative to.
James was forced to ask the secretary to
profile of all the 300 level female students but
none was identified as the doctor to be
Samantha Osman.
‘We don’t have any Samantha Osman in our
department’ the secretary stated for the second
time.
‘But she was wearing the school ID card’ James
talked back.
‘Maybe she was a student of another
department’ she replied. ‘You should check
medicine or nursing’
‘No, she said she was a pharmacy student’ Dr.
Hammed mentioned each word one after the
other.
‘I think it’s clear now’ James continued after
taking a deep breath, ‘that girl was on a mission
and that mission was to get some information
for the killers’
‘She could be a student studying another
course’ Segun who had been silent began, ‘I
believe that if we get a database of all the
student we can fish out the Samantha Osman or better still ever Samantha in the school'
'No!' the secretary exclaimed. 'Who's gonna go through that herculean task? Do you know how many students the school has?'
'It doesn't matter how herculean the task is' James countered. 'She was with the school ID card and that confirms that the suspect is your student'
'How are you sure it was our ID card? She questioned. 'Did any of you check it? How did you know it wasn't fake?'
Her questions were answered with silence, the officers stared at each other and at the doctor, each expecting one to come up with a counter opinion.
James gave in, 'you're right, it may be fake but you still have to help us confirm it is'
'Or better still, let us have access to the database, we'll check it ourselves' Segun suggested.
'Better!' the secretary got up from her seat, adjusting her skirt. 'I can't help you with that, you have yo return to the VC'
