Action thriller : TARASHA Season1 Episode46c

Tararsha
Episode 46c

Tarasha eyes began to search around for Henry in the reception as she came out of the elevator. She took out her phone from the jacket and dialed his number.
'Where are you?' She spoke into the phone.
'Outside the gate' a gruff voice which was not Henry's answered, Tarasha noticed.
'Okay, I'm coming' she replied and ended the call. She dropped the phone back into the jacket's pocket and proceeded out of the building.
She spotted Henry's blue Honda car parked behind a police sonata as soon as she stepped out of the gate. She noticed that three uniformed police officers were at their car with a non uniformed person. The officer at the front seat beside the driver's came out looking at her direction. She took out her phone and placed another call to Henry as she proceeded slowly towards his car.
'Hey Madam' the police officer accosted her.
'Hello, what can I do for you?' Tarasha ended the call she was trying to make and turned to attend to the officer.
'Are you Miss Evelyn Alex?' The officer asked.
'Yes, I...' Tarasha was cut short by what she saw. The "non uniformed officer" which appeared to be Henry was motioned out of the car by another officer which was huge in size.
'Do you know that man?' The officer continued, looking towards Henry.
Tarasha paused for a while before answering. 'Yes' She stared at Henry as the huge officer motioned him towards their direction.
'You were with him yesterday?' He asked again.
'Yes' Tarasha answered.
'Your attention is needed in our office' he said.
'For what?' She inquired.
'Just to answer some few questions' the officer replied with a brief smile.
Tarasha stared at Henry's face for an explanation but he just stared back until she spoke. 'What's all these Henry?'
'I'm sorry, I don't understand too' Henry replied. 'I asked them to leave you out of this but they said that we must go together. I believe that Dare must have told huge lies about us to the police'
'May we leave now?' The huge officer interrupted, eyeing Tarasha wickedly.
'Can I have my phone to make a call now?' Henry demanded, stretching out his hand to the slim officer.
'Of course, it's in the car. Let's proceed first, then you can make your calls on the way' the officer made way to return to the car.
'You go with her in the Honda' the huge officer, Afo , said in a commanding tone.
'Okay' the other officer obliged and led Tarasha who followed silently to the Honda.
The officer in the driver's seat of the Honda already started the car engine before they entered into it. They drove away from the hotel fence in few seconds.
Tarasha kept a searching gaze on the officer accompanying her. He stared back intimidatingly into her eyes when hers met with his. 'Is this how you pick up people in this country?' She asked a question which made the officer look stunned. 'I wouldn't have followed you if I didn't see Henry with you'
'You have no choice madam.' He gave a wicked smile as he answered. 'You don't defy police orders here'
'I have a right to know why I'm going with you' she snapped at him.
'I'm only inviting you for interrogation' he snapped back. 'Madam business from Canada, don't provoke me'
Tarasha looked away from him and carefully examined his words. He just qualified her as "Madam Business from Canada". Whatever he meant by the phrase, it revealed that he had found out from somewhere that she was from Canada and was doing a business. She glanced at him again with suspicion in her eyes. She began to search around his uniform again, searching for something to confirm her suspicion.
Henry had also become suspicious too when he asked from his phone from the huge officer and he replied him coldly. 'It's with my colleague in the other car, you'll get it when we get to the station, we can't pause our journey just because of you'
At this time they had driven for about fifteen minutes.
'Officer' Tarasha called softly. She placed a hand on his chest seductively covering the pocket on the shirt.
'Yes...' He answered, his body shivered as her fingers proceeded behind the buttons.
'What's your name?' She asked.
'Erm...' He stammered and looked towards his chest to check the name inscribed on the tip of the pocket. He flung her hand away from him suddenly as he figured out what she was doing. 'What that flip' he cursed and brought out a gun, pointing it at her immediately.
'I know you're fake, you don't own the uniform' Tarasha said bluntly and sat back properly, ignoring the gun pointed at her. 'Who sent you?'
'Shut the hell up' he shouted at her, still threatening with the gun. He searched his pants pocket with the left hand and brought out his phone.
'Hello, this girl don burst me o' he informed his colleague that he has been busted by the girl in pidgin English.
'No problem, just keep her there. We would be at the workshop in the next two minutes' the huge man answered through his phone in the police car. He brought out his gun also and pointed it at Henry.
'Boy, it's better you cooperate with us without making noise or I'll burst your brains' He said in a harsh manner, terrifying Henry.
'Who sent you?' Tarasha asked the slim officer again as they drove into a large compound.  He replied her with a wicked look.
'But this is not a police station' Henry protested as he looked around the bushy compound.
'Shut up and get out of the car' Afo ordered and pushed Henry out angrily.
Tarasha was also escorted out of the car with a gun by the other guy. The drivers of the cars came out of the car two with their guns, making it four armed men against Henry and Tarasha.
'Get into the house' Afo commanded, motioning them with his gun. Henry and Tarasha began to walk slowly into the brick walled building covered with corrugated iron sheets at the front section. The door was opened by one of the drivers and they were led into the poorly lit room, the windows were not opened and it made it hot.  Three other guys appeared from another section of the building and hailed their Boss Afo.
'Kneel down there' Afo commanded the two, pointing his gun at them as he lit a cigarette with his other hand. 'Raise up your hands' Afo added after they obeyed his first instruction. He brought out his phone and dialed a number.
Tarasha carefully dipped her right hand into her jacket's pocket and made sure nobody noticed as she took out an item and attached it into her sleeve before slowly raising up her hands.
He puffed out some quantity of smoke before placing the phone on his ear. 'Hello... We've got them here' he said through the phone to his call receiver, staring deeply into Tarasha and Henry's faces. 'My boy told me that you called and said you wanted to see them before we finish them off'
Afo inhaled another quantity of smoke before he continued. 'That means your money has increased, you'll add twenty percent... Ok, we're expecting you by evening time'
'Who sent you to kidnap us?' Tarasha asked in a calm voice.
Afo chuckled mockingly and hissed as he stared at her face. He turned to Kalu, the guy who was with Tarasha in the Honda car. 'Where are those chairs?' He asked searching round the room. 'Get the chairs and tie them up' Afo ordered and walked out of the building hurriedly.
++++++++++
'Good' Dare stamped his feet on the floor in joy as he ended the call. He rejoiced with himself in his office. He would finally put to rest his past which just resurfaced and was trying to haunt him. The only painful part of it was that Evelyn had to go with it.
He remembered the look on Henry's face when they met again after several years. Henry's gaze had sent shivers down his spine. What his guilt made him see was thirst for revenge in Henry's eyes. Then he decided that there was a need to totally wipe out the past of which Henry is a part of.
His phone beeped. He quickly picked it up and checked the screen. He smiled. It was a reminder for his Dad's sixtieth birthday which was coming up in two days time. He began to think of what gift was best to present to his father.
What could his money buy that his father couldn't get? His father was a hundred times richer than he was. The only gift he knew his father would be impressed by was a profitable business idea. 'Damn!' He sighed. His father was so business and money minded that it was possible for him not to remember his birthday on the day. He was sure there was going to be no party, his father barely attends social functions nowadays for the fun of it. He only did it if he was going to meet his business partners there. Or should he organize a surprise birthday bash for his dad? He thought.
No, the man would not appreciate that. Instead of getting pleased with the action, his father would probably be disappointed.
Dare shook his head thoughtfully and dropped his phone on the table. Then he returned his focus back to the files on his table.

UNILAG student slumps, dies after night out.



Tragedy stuck at the Moremi Hall of the University of Lagos after a Chemistry Education student, identified simply as Tope, slumped and died at the institution’s medical centre. Sources in UNILAG said the student, who was squatting in the hostel, died shortly after returning from an outing with a man.

They added that Tope could have been saved if she was promptly attended to at the centre.

One of them said, “Tope was squatting here. She went to a club and returned around midnight on Thursday. It was not long afterwards that she started gasping. We rushed her to the UNILAG Medical Centre, but they blamed the student who allowed her to squat in her room. Tope eventually died, while the other student is being threatened with eviction.’’

However, the management of the university said no student died at the centre. A statement from the school’s Deputy Registrar, Information Unit, Mr. Toyin Adebule, said Tope died before she was brought to the centre.

“I wish to state that the incident did not happen at the centre. Also, there is no report from the hall to the Dean of Students Affairs on the incident. Therefore, no student has been ejected from the hall,” the statement read in part.

Summary of 'In Dependence' JAMB new book for 2017 UTME Candidates.


2017 UTME: Summary of “In Dependence”JAMB New Book For 2017 UTME Candidates- 2017 UTME candidates will be tested on the book “In Dependence” by Sarah Ladipo Manyika.



Irrespective of your course of study or method of testing, you will be tested on this book.

The book is to be given to candidates after paying for the 2017 UTME registration.

However, for most candidates who would prefer a soft copy of the book. Here is a summary of the book based on a review by IDOKO OJABO.
;

SUMMARY OF THE BOOK “IN DEPENDENCE”
Tayo Ajayi, a Nigerian, and Vanessa Richardson, an English lady, had their affair boiling when it began, however as circumstances have been meant to intervene, the connection went sore and it appeared nothing may ever carry them collectively.

The book (In dependence) has characters that behaved in like-patterns, like within the case of Tayo’s pal, Yusuf, who had dated tons of white English women.

He (Yusuf) ended up marrying a Nigerian Lady as predicted (Yusuf knew what he needed and appeared to get it).

Tayo additionally ended up the identical method in as a lot as his affair with Vanessa Richardson had been gleaming, though he had been out of the error of getting a younger lady (Miriam) pregnant.

And speaking of sample, the novel’s (In dependence) starting had opened up introducing Tayo’s affair with Christine, a Nigerian Igbo woman. One would suppose that Manyika needed to finish Tayo’s relationship with Christine for the sake of bringing in Vanessa into Tayo’s life, however nonetheless, Tayo needed to find yourself marrying Miriam. And nonetheless the wedding failed, giving in to the acquainted sample.

Miriam in Manyika’s novel (In dependence) represented the breeds of the Nigerians that may all the time run away to reside overseas because of the collapsing picture of their dwelling nation.

Miriam went away together with her daughter leaving Tayo behind. In as a lot as she persuaded Tayo, he wouldn’t go. She didn’t like an inconveniencing life. She needed the perfect life for her daughter.

Tayo, on the opposite facet represented the crude breeds of Nigerians that felt dwelling was dwelling despite the fact that the nation was boiling in corruption. In as a lot because the failure of the nation stared firmly at his face with daggers, he selected to remain.

In direction of the late pages of the novel he needed to depart the nation underneath threatening circumstances towards his life from the ruling navy regime.

The complete novel is informed from the great days of Nigeria’s independence down into the nineties. I applaud Manyika’s ink, right here. In as a lot because the setting of this novel floated by way of England, Senegal, USA, and France, she was ready to make use of her third eye to attract out Nigeria’s journey into the more serious lanes of corruption, and hopelessness.

Religion is one other situation that Manyika (In dependence) handled. It didn’t matter to her if one was a Muslim or Christian.
Studying by way of this novel, one couldn’t inform if Tayo got here from a Muslim or Christian household however we did know he embraced extra of the Christian religion. She didn’t level out the difficulties of inter-religious marriages within the novel (In dependence), however centred extra on the difficulties of interracial marriage.

Throughout Tayo’s life as an element time lecturer in Sans Francisco, the creator used a scene to unbolt some deeper points of racism.

She identified the racist ties between the African American and the pure African. These points she raised apply in all places even inside Nigerians.

A Yoruba would check with an Igbo as a grasping cash monger and doubtful monster, and in flip the Igbo would check with the Yoruba as a unclean, loquacious and silly character who spend all he earns on events and alcohol. It needed to be understood that racism was one these existences that may reside for a very long time so far as misunderstanding between folks existed.

I captured traces which are coated with humour on this novel, however might be referred to as racial remarks. Younger black Yusuf got here clear in his dialog with Tayo. He mentioned white ladies have been for intercourse treats whereas black ladies have been for respectable relationships that would result in marriage. He added white lady regarded so previous when she turned thirty.
The worst racist on this e-book (In dependence) is Vanessa’s father who was a one time colonial grasp in Nigeria earlier than 1960.

He was towards Tayo marrying his daughter, and had refused to just accept Vanessa’s adopted half-cast son. He appeared extra racial towards half-casts earlier within the novel (In dependence) confronting Tayo about his fears for a half-cast grandchild. It was later understood that his hatred for the blacks was consequently of an affair his spouse had with a black man through the colonial period.

Manyika, whose image reveals she is probably half-cast, was capable of make a degree right here. She drew a distinction between being black and being a half-cast (brown). This could have been fairly a storm for her to jot down about as a result of of the racial wind towards the brown folks residing in whitely dominated areas. In distinction to a pure black nation, half-casts are seen lovely which Manyika didn’t level out. In reality within the black continent, the standard black man could really feel inferior to a half-cast.

Manyika was additionally capable of painting the polemic assault Nigerians obtain from all over the world nowadays. She didn’t carry this to print however the picture was represented, and I needed to determine it out. I can say it clouds across the ache felt every time an IELTS or TOEFL examination is required earlier than a Nigerian may research overseas. This doesn’t exclude a masters’ diploma. Does the world suppose Nigerians converse Latin or Greek or some sort of language referred to as ‘Nigerian’?
‘I said I haven’t heard you converse Nigerian,’ Joyce says.

Joyce is one of Manyika’s English characters. And I like the way in which Yusuf replies this. ‘Nobody speaks Nigerian, you daft thing,’.
A coincidence on this novel which I refuse to just accept was the scene during which Vanessa had simply come throughout one of her finest music, Hugh Maskela, a music that reminded her of Nelson Mandela and on the same day, not even up to two hours if I could rightly predict, her white husband is presenting her with ‘Long Walk to Freedom’, Nelson Mandela’s biography.

What a coincidence! I additionally don’t embrace the truth that Manyika noticed hope for Nigeria by way of the eyes of Tayo solely when Abacha died. There are nonetheless Abacha loyalists in Nigeria as we speak who will discover this offending. She ought to have saved the road in a riddle.

Vanessa did meet with Tayo on the finish of the novel, nevertheless it was laborious to foretell if in any respect a love relationship was ignited between them. Vanessa was nonetheless married, however Tayo wasn’t. Manyika maintained a non-adulterous plight between the 2 right here. The happy-ending-formula which most romance writers adapt was by some means blurring within the novel.

Few things to do to make your UTME 2017/2018 registration faster and stress-free.


It has come to our notice that ongoing 2017 UTME registration is experiencing some delay going by that fact that just few candidates have been able to register.



One major reason for this being the fact that some candidates wait till they get to the registration centres before doing the necessary things they should have done before going to the centre.

For instance, someone reported a case of candidates getting to the registration centres and expecting the operators to help them determine the course and institution of choice or determine the right UTME/O’level subject requirements.

For crying out loud, this is something you should have done before going for your registration.

To make the whole process faster and less stressful, we advise candidates to do the following before going to the different centres;

1. Download and complete the JAMB 2017 Registration Template. This will enable you determine the right choice of course, institution, UTME/O’level subjects before going to an Accredited registration centre. So you only have to present the template to the operators once you get there. This will help hasten the whole process.

2. Ensure you create you JAMB online profile before going to the centres. This will equally help hasten the process as the operators will not take extra time in creating your profile.

3. If you can get the e-pin from other outlets other than the registration centres, such as banks and JAMB Offices, with less stress, please do. That way, you will immediately proceed with the actual registration once you get to the accredited centres.

Action thriller :-Tarasha Season1 Episode46b


Tarasha
Episode 46b
The lovers stared at each other for a while without making any move. The whole hall became as silent as a graveyard.
'Come on, attack' Vladimir, the zone lord shouted angrily.
Tarasha just couldn't move. Just few months ago, she had been made to slaughter a dear friend of hers, Stanley Bob. Now she was being asked to fight Marvin whom she loved.
She sniffed and rubbed her nose with the back of her hand. 'Love is for the weak ones, the stupid ones without a strong heart. Kill him before he kills you' she could hear a voice say to her.
'No, don't kill him. If you do, you'll be totally losing your good heart' another voice argued.
'Who needs a good heart?' The first voice laughed. 'It would only make one become a fool who can be manipulated by feelings'
'There's nothing wrong in letting good feelings take control over you' the good voice began but was interrupted.
'Shut up! Remember who you are, nothing should take control over you. You were made to kill and nothing should stop you from killing. Nothing including love or any feeling you have'
Tarasha was awoken to reality when she heard a clang sound, Marvin had picked up a sword. It seemed he had finally made up his mind on what to do.
Tarasha picked up a sword too and positioned herself for the fight. The duo began to move in a circle, each one trying to set a trap for the other.
Marvin was the first to strike, his sword went in direction of Tarasha's forehead but was stopped by her sword. The battle continued and the murmurings among the other trainees increased as the sound of continued clanging of swords filled the air.
After about four minutes of the sword battle. The two warriors spaced themselves. Both of them already had sweat dripping from their body. Marvin threw his sword away and clenched his fists. Tarasha understood the message and dropped her sword too. It was time for a battle without weapons. They moved close to each other.
Marvin sent a blow to her but she ducked down and he missed her face. She stepped aside without returning his attack. They stared into each other's eyes as they vibrated their bodies from side to side, moving in a circle. Marvin launched the same attack again and Tarasha ducked again but this time sent a heavy blow into his belly. He winced as he grabbed his belly and staggered forward.
He recovered quickly and stood straight again. He stared again into Tarasha's eyes, she seemed to be less interested in the battle. He remembered saying to her that he wasn't afraid of death, but he really was. Now, he was desperate to live even if it meant taking her life.
Marvin was an handsome boy, two year older than Tarasha. He stayed with his parents in Ghana until the day he was kidnapped alongside with four other boys and brought to the clan. The reason for his kidnap was not known to him until he spent two months in the clan.
Marvin was a soft person in nature but the four other boys which he walked and played with were bullies. Due to their big stature and strength, they maltreated everyone they could. Marvin was close to them because of one the leader of the boys happened to be his next-door neighbor. The kidnappers had observed the boys' cruelty for sometime and concluded that they had the tendency to become great assassins. Marvin was only unlucky to be with the bullies on the fateful day.
Back to the battle. Marvin carefully observed where Tarasha was standing, the weapons were out of her reach. He seized the opportunity and he picked up his sword again. He smiled at her wickedly as she looked at him in surprise. Maybe she thought her love was still in his head, he thought. But this was a matter of death or life, he still wanted to live for some more years and probably get out of the Nefary City alive. He shouted on top of his voice as he raced towards her, targeting her belly.
Tarasha was scared and undecided for a second but the adrenalin rush in her body made her react. She turned back immediately and made a short run to the wall where she took three steps on and projected herself over the attackers head, she landed at his back and he almost fell as a result.
A blow hit Marvin's face before he turned to her with the sword. Another hit his jaw when he tried to raise up the sword, it fell from his hand. Tarasha continued to deal him more blows on his face until he was bleeding profusely. He was too weak to defend himself. She held his neck and tightened her grip on it until he was he was out of breath. She was breathing heavily as she let his body fall to the ground. She stared at him on the floor for some seconds, murmuring inaudible words to herself.
'Bring his head' someone shouted as she turned, reminding her that her job wasn't completed until she presented his head as her trophy. She motioned towards where the sword was and picked it up. Then she went back to Marvin and detached his head in few seconds.
**PRESENT**
'No room for emotions' Tarasha murmured the same words she murmured after killing Marvin. 'No room for emotions, kill every object of emotion before it kills you'
She kept murmuring it to herself as she stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her. Her phone rang again. Henry was calling.
'Hello' she said as she answered the call.
'Hello Evelyn, can you meet me outside right away?' Henry asked in a serious tone.
'Give me ten minutes' she replied and ended the call.
She opened the wardrobe to select the clothes to wear. After three minutes, she was done with her dressing. She wore a black tight fitted trouser and top with a blue jacket on it. She sat back on the bed as she wore her boots. She checked the time and it was just five minutes gone out of the ten minutes. She had noticed the seriousness in his voice but wasn't concerned in anyway.
She drew out a briefcase from underneath the bed and placed it on her laps. She punched in the passcode and it opened up by itself. Knives and daggers of different sizes were carefully arranged inside. She selected three small ones and carefully tucked them into the space made available for it in her trouser. The small knives should be enough to take life out of Henry's body.
+++++++++
'How far Debo?' Chief Jubril asked as his personal assistant stepped into the office.
'Fine sir. The call was from Canada but we've not been able to verify the user's details'
'When would that be done?'
'We should get the report by next tomorrow' Debo answered.
'Are you sure?'
'Yes, very sure sir'
'Good...' The man paused and focused on his laptop for a minute before he returned his gaze back to Debo. 'Do you know what is happening next tomorrow?'
'Yes sir.' Debo smiled sheepishly.
Jubril Lawal smiled back. 'I want you to organize a banquet for me. The venue would be my villa. Send invitations to every friend on my contact list'
'Okay sir'
'Invite Evelyn Alex also.' The man paused and cleared his throat. 'I'll like her to meet with some of our other business partners that would be involved in our partnership. Make sure you also mobilize for proper security'
'Okay sir.' Debo bowed and proceeded out of the office,  trying to come up with ideas on how to organize for the birthday celebration.

Tarasha
Episode 46a

She clenched her fists and opened her eyes, it was bloodshot. A phone call distracted her.
'Good morning Miss Evelyn' came Jubril Lawal's cheerful voice.
'Good morning sir' Tarasha managed to sound calm.
'How are you?' Jubril asked.
'I'm fine sir, how about you?'
'I'm doing great Miss. I spoke with your father this morning and we had a pleasant conversation. I'll like for us to meet and conclude the deal terms'
'Oh! Okay. When can I come to meet with you?'
'Let's make it tomorrow morning, 9am prompt'
'That's okay sir'
'Good, we'll see tomorrow. Take care'
'You too.' With that the line went off.
Tarasha got up and wiped off the sweat forming on her forehead. She began to take off her ruffled gown slowly. Henry's calm voice sounded in her head again.
** Flashback**
~~ December 20, 2020 ~~
'Tarasha, Tarasha' A voice sounded in whispers through the window. Tarasha's eyes popped open, it was Marvin calling her.
She rolled down from the hardwood quietly and buckled her bra well. She sniffed and began to tiptoe carefully in a bid not to wake the other occupants of the room.
She shivered as the door creaked while she tried to open it. She turned to see if anyone was woken by the noise but no was awake, only a few itchings and turns, she proceeded outside slowly, careful not to make any other sound. Marvin had turned from the window side to the door.
'Come' she grabbed Marvin's hand and they ran behind the lodge to a hidden place.
'Tara' Marvin who was bare chested and was covered with a torn towel-like material called her name softly.
'Yes?' Tarasha urged him, already getting impatient, staring around from time to time to see if anyone was coming.
'Tarasha' he called again.
Tarasha stopped to stare into his eyes. He never called her full name except that was something really very serious. 'What happened?'
'I've come to say goodbye to you' Marvin began. 'I may not have the opportunity to say it anymore'
'What? Goodbye? Where are you going to?' Tarasha bombarded him with questions.
'I'm not going anywhere. I may die tomorrow' He said in a sad tone. 'I overheard our Tent Lord saying that there would be a zonal bloodbath tomorrow and they plan to eliminate fifteen weak ones'
Tara stretched out her hand and touched his face. 'Fifteen weak ones? But that has nothing to do with you, with us'
'Tarasha' he removed her hand from his face. 'Let us be real, don't let us pretend as if I'm strong'
'You're strong Marvin, you can scale through'
'No, I'm not strong' Marvin argued. 'We all know that I only managed to escape death the last time. Now it's here' Marvin said as he turned his back on Tarasha.
'No, you won the battle, you didn't manage' Tarasha turned back his body to face her. 'And you are stronger now'
Marvin stared into the darkness for a moment, tears formed in his eyes. 'Tara, I'm not scared to die. I'm scared of leaving you. Ain't we even dead already. I think it's better we die before these people finally turn us to animals who kill without thinking'
'Don't we kill without thinking already?' Tarasha asked him.
'I kill on orders and I feel remorse for every time I had to do it' a tear dropped off his eyes as he spoke. 'But the Nefary clan is not comfortable with that, they are taking us to the level of killing without feeling any remorse. Imagine, they made you kill your friend, the cook.'
Tarasha sighed and turned away. 'I had no choice, I had to do that. He was already changed into a beast too'
'I know but they're going to make us do more. I heard that they do send some inmates to murder their families'
'Do we have families?' Tarasha turned suddenly to ask him.
Marvin was about to answer her when they heard a noise coming towards their direction.
'We have to go now' Marvin's eyes shone in panic as he peeped to see who was coming. He quickly grabbed Tarasha's hand and they hurriedly tiptoed away.
* Next day
Tarasha could hear the loud chants of male as thirty of them girls were led into the "Hardness hall". The boys were already beenbeen lectured in the hall.
The hall was a very large one, it was made of thick brick high walls. It had no widows in it but was unroofed. The floor was made of natural rock, hard, cold during evening and early mornings but hot in the afternoon.
'Love is a sin committed by weak people and it makes them weaker. Any object of love that is found beside you has to be eliminated' the voice in the thick Russian accent continued to shout. 'The day you start to love someone is the day you start to die'
Tarasha could spot Marvin where he stood, blindfolded. He was number two on the line in his group. That meant that he was the second person to battle. Tarasha looked around trying to locate Marvin's likely contender but before she could, the tent lord had already returned to blindfold her and the other girls. The girls were later arranged on two line but none of them knew their position on the line.
The battle was to take place in a cage and the enemy was not known until they got into the cage.
The first battle began and the first two fighters were sent in. Shouts and groans were what notified the other young assassins that the battle had begun.
After about ten minutes, the first battle ended and a winner with a bruised face emerged. Then the first set of girl fighters were sent into the cage. After another ten minutes, another winner emerged.
Then it was Marvin's turn. Tarasha knew it, she had seen him stand in the second position on the line. But she didn't know his contender until she felt a  hand on her shoulder. She was then dragged and pushed into another section. Her blindfold was taken off and she found herself in the cage with Marvin. Several fighting weapons laid on the floor for their use. The bell rang for the battle to begin.
... to be continued.

He further stated that the board has the intention of releasing the results of the 2017 May/June WASSCE, within 60 to 65 days.

He equally revealed that the council is looking at even reducing the waiting time to 45 days in the next two tears.

When asked if this is die to JAMB’s insistence that candidates should make their WASSCE results available as prerequisite for admissions, the HNO said that it was not meant to address any issue.

2017 JAMB UTME mock exam holds in 2weeks.


 JAMB will be ready to conduct the 1st ever UTME Mock Exam on Saturday, 8th April, 2017. This was confirmed from the Official 2017 UTME Registration Details released by JAMB.



According to the details, the Mock Exam is totally optional and you can choose NOT to write it on 8th April. If you would like to take the JAMB UTME Mock Exam, then you will need to indicate this while you register for the 2017 JAMB UTME.

After you have indicated your interest to take the UTME Mock Exam, You will have to wait until you have received a message to tell you what centre you will write the UTME Mock Exam.

You will also need to make a payment of N700 to the CBT centre, in order for you to take the UTME Mock Exam.

Update:- Doctor Who stabbed his mother to death.


Cletus, one of the older brothers of  Emmanuel Ogah, the medical doctor who stabbed their 59-year-old mother, Janet, to death penultimate Thursday, has revealed that his younger brother (Emmanuel) graduated from the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, in 2007.

But he said due to ‘depression relapse’ he suffers occasionally, he went for his one year national youth service in 2016, nine years after.

Cletus revealed that Emmanuel was 27 years then when he graduated, having been a brilliant student.

He said all the seven children of their late mother are graduates and four of them graduated from ABU. Cletus said he read Chemical Engineering.

He said Emmanuel did well in his secondary school certificate result and scored well over 4 points in Cumulative Grade Point Average when he graduated in Medicine from ABU in 2007.

He said, “He made 4.38 as his CGPA at ABU.

While Cletus said it was true that he suffered ‘depression relapse’ on some occasions, he said the family had taken him to certain psychiatric facilities for medical intervention in Kaduna, Kano, Lagos and Uyo.

He said, “We noticed the problem of depression in him in 2008, when he was doing his housemanship. He was reported to have spoken rudely to his superiors.

“He was sent away from that place. Again, in subsequent years, he went to some other places for the housemanship, the same thing happened.

“We took him to the Psychiatric Hospital at Yaba, Lagos in 2014 where he was receiving treatment and doing his housemanship.

“Eventually he completed it at this place, but he was still asked to go and serve the one year national service, because they said he was 27 when he graduated from ABU. That was what he was doing at Jigawa State, when he returned last Wednesday and he killed our mother on Thursday.”

On that fateful day, Emmanuel, who was believed to be under some ‘forces’ controlling him, knifed their mother to death at her restaurant located along Lafenwa-Itele Road, Aparadija in Ado Odo/Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State.

He did not kill the mother in their residence on Number 16 Ololade Lateef Street, Aparadija, Lafenwa-Itele, as earlier reported.

The picture of the corpse which had gone viral on the social media was gory enough. Emmanuel disembowelled the mother, and gave her other deep cuts on the face and neck.

Also the video of his ‘detention’ inside burglar proof section of the restaurant after he had done the havoc, did not portray him as being coherent in all the questions put to him on why he killed the mother.

Cletus, who said he got to the scene two hours after Emmanuel had killed their mother, said he(Emmanuel) was still being ‘detained’  in the shop, when he arrived.

He said when he jabbed him and asked him why he killed their mother, he suddenly became remorseful, saying he never knew what came upon him.

He said, “When I arrived our mother’s restaurant two hours after the incident, Emmanuel was still being held inside the shop, I moved closer to him, jabbed him twice and asked him: ‘why did you kill our mother?’ All he could say was ‘brother, I did not know what happened, brother I did know what happened’ and he started crying.

“Then he began to say some incoherent things.

“I believe there were ‘some forces’ at work on him. Because from the responses, it seemed that he came to his senses suddenly and showed remorse. Emmanuel neither smoked nor drank alcohol. I had taken him out on some occasions.”

Cletus said their mother was a loving mother who supported her husband, Bernard Ogah, now a retired soldier to train all of them.

He recalled, “I could remember in my own case, my mother plaited hair for people in the barracks to raise money and supported in paying my school fees then while I was in ABU.

“My mother gave her all to her children.”

A service of songs was organised for her on Thursday in front of her former shop, where her virtues were celebrated.

Pastor Femi Samuel said, “Mama was quite accommodating and she was always smiling.

“She was a giver. If you came to the restaurant, you would eat whether you have money or not.”

One of her neighbours, Stephen Gyamfi described her as a “mother well loved by those who knew her.”

The landlord of the house where she had her restaurant, Mr. Eddy, who said the deceased rented the shop from him in February 2016,  described her as a nice and easy going person.

Eddy said he had only seen Emmanuel once at the mother’s restaurant. “I only saw him once, and that was sometime last year. He was clutching a travelling bag and the mother told me that’s her son. Then he was going for the national service as a youth corp.”

The remains of the late Mrs. Janet Ogah have since been taken to her village, Agila,via Oturkpo in Benue State, on Friday for burial.

Meanwhile, Emmanuel is still being held at the homicide section of the Ogun State Police Command headquarters, Abeokuta.

TARASHA
EPISODE 45D


...........
9.15 am
Henry dialed Evelyn's phone number for the thirtieth time that morning,  it was still switched off. He rested his back into the office seat and loosened his tie.
His mind had been unsettled since the last night when she left his apartment. He had driven after her in a bid to catch up with her on the street and drive her home but she wasn't found, she just disappeared into thin air.  He began to feel guilty and wasn't going to forgive himself if anything happened to her.
He stared at his phone, confused about what to do. He thought of going back to the hotel to ask about her but he had only little information about her. The only thing he knew was her first name.
He got up and took off his suit jacket and hung it on the rack by the wall after which he began to pace around the office. The landline on his table rang.
'Hello.' He answered the call.
'Hello Mr Henry' Sylvester's voice came through. 'I'm sending someone to you office right now, he has a job for us and I think only you can handle it well'
'Okay... Send him in' Henry replied after a brief moment of hesitation.
'Right away' the went off.
Henry put another call through to his secretary after putting back on his jacket and knotting his tie. 'Hello, someone is coming from Mr Sylvester now, please send him as soon as he gets there'
Someone pressed the bell two minutes later. 'You may come in' Henry answered.
A tall dark man in a black suit walked in smiling. He looked like someone in his early forties. Henry rose to greet him.
'Good morning sir' Henry stretched his hand to shake him.
'Good morning Mr Henry, I'm Debo Ola' the Man introduced himself as he took the handshake.
'I'm pleased to meet you sir, please have your seat' Henry motioned him.
'Thank you' the man settled down.
'Yeah, Mr Sylvester said you have a job for us'
'Yes' the man replied, pushing a paper forward on the table. 'Here is it'
Henry picked it up to look at it. 'This is a mobile number. Canadian right?'
'Yes, Canadian. It has the Canadian code but we're doubting the authenticity. That's why I've come to you' Debo replied.
'What's the reason for the doubt?' Henry asked and began to scribble the number into a notepad. 'I mean it looks authentic to me'
'It's the number of one of our invisible business partners' Debo explained. 'We need to verify if we're discussing with the right person or someone is just playing tricks with us'
Henry gave him a stern look. 'But do you know that this is illegal? You're asking for confidential details of someone which shouldn't be released'
The man dipped his hand into his suit inner pocket and brought out his ID card. 'I'm a private investigator approved by the government' he displayed the card to Henry.
'Okay then, just a minute.' Henry turned to his computer after confirming the man's identity.
After seven minutes, he turned back to the man. 'The number is really Canadian but I've not been able to verify the owner'
'Okay. But is it possible?'
'Yes, it is. I only need to get data from the network bearer in Canada. It may take us sometime and cost us some money'
'How long will it take?' The man enquired.
'Three days should be okay' Henry replied with so much positivity. 'As far as the authorities cooperate and provide us what we request for'
'Okay, how much will it cost?'
'Five hundred thousand naira should do'
'Five hundred thousand?' Debo looked surprised.
'Yes' Henry replied unperturbed. 'We would be charged by any of their authorities we pass through'
'But it's kind of much'
'It's okay' The man said, dipping his hand into his bag. He brought out his cheque book and began to write in it.
'I should write it payable to who?' The man asked after signing.
'Ermm... I think Mr Sylvester would handle that'
'Alright.' Debo returned the cheque book and pen into his bag.
'Is there any other thing left?' Henry asked.
'Nothing, I only want to be assured that we'll get the report in three days'
'You will, I assure you'
'Okay.' Debo rose to his feet. 'I have to go now'
'Alright' Henry rose too and shook hands with the man again.
'Thank you Mr Henry'
'You're welcome.' With that Debo walked out of the office.
Henry sat back into his chair and stared at the number on his notepad for a while. He wanted to begin work on it but he felt restless. His thoughts immediately drifted back to Evelyn. Without much thinking again, he grabbed his car key and proceeded out of the office.
............
9.20am
A police Hyundai sonata parked right beside the cameras security office. A young officer came out of the car thirty seconds later and proceeded to the gate. He met the security man in charge.
'Good morning sir' the young officer greeted.
'Good morning officer' the security man answered.
'I'm Officer Paul from Division A' he said, displaying his ID card. 'I want to know if there's any Henry working in this organization'
'I'm sorry Inspector, I don't have the right to release such information'
The young officer laughed. He dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out a card. 'Why are you hiding a criminal? We found his national ID card in a crime scene yesterday' he displayed the card to him.
The security man opened his mind in shock. 'Yes, we have one and that's him. He's inside'
'No, we don't want to arrest him now. We want to trace him to his accomplices' the young officer tucked in the card into his pocket. 'What kind of car does he use?'
'He has different cars but he brought a blue Honda accord today'
'When does he close from work?'
'Four O'clock'
'Okay, here's our number' the officer handed a card to the security man. 'Please call us anytime he's leaving this premises'
'No problem, I will'
'We're watching you, don't try to aid his escape.' The young officer warned with a crooked smile before he turned and returned to the car. He was satisfied that he could put fear in the older man's heart. He got into the back seat where Afo was also sitting down, dressed in the police uniform also.
'How did it go?' Afo asked.
'Fine, the man's gonna call us. He says Henry uses a blue Honda'
'Did he notice anything about the fake national identity card and was the picture correct?'
'He couldn't have noticed anything and the picture is the right one. I sent it to Dare for confirmation after I downloaded it from Facebook'
'Good' Afo applauded after which he picked up his phone and dialed a number.
'Hello... Has the girl come out of the hotel at all?'
........
9.20am
Evelyn finally got up from the bed after what seemed like the longest night she had had in several years. She stood up and stretched, she felt a little at peace than she did the last night. The only thing that still kept the event still fresh in her brain was a sharp headache she felt. She clenched her teeth as she walked to the window and opened the blind.
A strange anger against herself was welling up as her head continued to bang. It was wrong for her to feel headaches. It had been ten years ago she had one, at least not one that made her feel as terrible as this. She was sure that it was a result of the emotional stress she went through the last night. But how did the emotions return, she thought they had died long ago?
She couldn't describe what she felt when Henry spoke with her. Her mind raced back to the feeling she had when she stared into his eyes as he narrated his story. She had tried to deny the feeling before but she felt it again now as she remembered the faint glow in his eyes.
She rebuked herself and turned away from the window, she was not supposed to be thinking of him, a total who was only going to be used in the course of her operation. The only right thing for her to think about was the operation.
She suddenly remembered her phone as she sat back on the bed. She quickly looked for the bag she went out with the last night and picked it out. It was switched off.
'Damn!' She cursed. It was supposed to be always on as she was expecting a call from Jubril Lawal.
The first three messages that entered when the phone came on were from MTN, her network bearer. The fourth message was from Henry. She closed her eyes and dropped the phone as she saw his name. His face popped up in her mind again.
Wait! Did she tell him the story of her family's massacre? How did he get her to do so?
She clenched her fists and opened her eyes, it was bloodshot. Her phone call distracted her.

TARASHA
EPISODE 45C

**PRESENT**
Tarasha wiped her face with her handkerchief as she relayed her story to him. Henry moved closer and drew her body nearer to his. He engaged her in a  tight hug as tears dropped off his eyes too.
'You had such a bad past, I'm sorry for bringing back those memories' he said as placed a  hand on her back. 'But God can help you forgot those memories and focus on the future'
Evelyn moved her  head from his chest and stared into his eyes angrily. She gradually removed herself from his grip and got up in a hurry.
'I'm sorry, but I was just saying the truth.' He stood up, watching as she put on her shoes hurriedly. 'Look, you can't blame God for what some evil men did'
She proceeded towards the door without paying attention to him anymore. He followed after her and held her bag to stop her. She turned to look into his face.
'I don't know how you feel Evelyn, but I know you must feel very bad' Henry said in a calm tone. 'But God didn't send those men to your family'
'Then why didn't he save my family from them?' Evelyn screamed as she dragged her bag from him. 'Why didn't he save us from them?'
Henry stood speechless for a moment and watched as she barged out of the house and hurried away.
'Let me drive you home' he shouted and followed after her again when he regained himself. She has walked away into the darkness already.
+++++++++
8am, next morning
Jubril Lawal had just walked into his office with his personal assistant when his phone began to ring. His P.A handed the phone to him. The call was from an international number.
Jubril settled into the swivel before answering the call. 'Hello'
'Hello Mr. Jubril' a mixed kind of accent was used to answer him. 'How are you doing today sir?'
'I'm fine. May I know who's on the line ....'
'Oh! Pardon me. I thought you were expecting my call. I'm Alexander Amaechi, director, AA Ltd Canada' the voice came bolder.
'Oh! Good morning Mr Alex' Jubril spoke cheerfully. 'I wasn't expecting the call so early'
'Oh! I prefer to do it early if it's business' the caller said a chuckle. 'My daughter told me about your discussion with her and I showed interest in speaking with you directly, she gave me your mobile number'
'Yes, she told me that I should expect a call from you'
'Good. I started a little research about you from the day she told me about your company' the man continued in his baritone voice. 'I'm a Nigerian myself' there was a pause.
'But I was a little bit disturbed when she told me about coming to Nigeria for the cotton business. It's not easy to do business with Nigerians nowadays especially when it's a Young person. I didn't want her to fall into wrong hands'
'I understand' Jubril replied with a smile. 'I had a little research about you too, I wanted to be sure of what I'm getting into'
'Well... I believe you're the right man. I'll be speaking to her from time to time. The monies needed for any transaction would be transferred from the AA account at any time'
'Okay, you agreed to fund her deal'
'No, the monies we're dealing with is for her, she saved it up'
'Oh! I see'
'Yeah'
'I must commend you. You really did a great job in bringing her up, she's a very focused young lady'
'Hmm, Thank you. I'm always very proud of her'
'Good!'
'Well, I'll talk to you later '
'It's okay' Jubril said and dropped his phone. He made a signal to his P.A who motioned forward.
'Trace that number for me, find out who owns it.' He handed the phone to the P.A.
The P.A gave him a puzzled look. 'Find an expert who can do that, I didn't mean you should do it yourself' Chief Jubril fired at him.
'Okay' the P.A replied timidly after which Jubril dismissed him with a wave of the hand.

.........
8am
'How far?' Benny asked as Cole ended the call.
'Good, went as planned' Cole answered standing to his feet. 'No true caller application can detect where and who the call was from' he boasted as he walked towards the TV to switch it on.
'I trust you but I don't trust that voice disguiser, I almost recognised your voice when we tested it' Benny said.
'We tested it at a close range, it could misbehave. But you still said my voice sounded more like an older man'
'True'
'That's enough for us, the man doesn't know me before so he can't even detect any resemblance to anyone's voice.' Cole returned to the sofa.
'I believe so' Benny gave a light smile. 'Has the boss called you still?'
'No, she hasn't' Cole answered with a frown. He picked his phone from the stool. 'It's strange of her not to pick her calls, since yesterday evening'
'Hope everything is fine with her'
'Sure, nothing can be wrong' Cole sniffed as he dialed her number again. He stared at Benny. 'It's switched off now'
'Switched off? I hope nothing has gone wrong' Benny frowned.
'I'm sure she'll call us soon, don't bother your mind.' Cole concluded. He smacked his lips and rubbed his palms together as Aisha walked into the living room, he was expecting an announcement about breakfast
Aisha stared at both of them curiously, wondering why they stopped talking when she appeared. 'What are you guys hiding?'
Cole and Benny laughed in unison. 'Hiding what?' Benny asked. 'Please is breakfast ready?'
