*Longshot*
"Aim!"
"Fire!"
kraaakkkk kaaaaaaaa krrrrrrrr!!!
Sounds of gunshots rendered the air as six policemen died, all tied to the drum and shot by their comrades.
Six corrupt policemen once again killed on the orders of the new police chief, totalling 600 since Nonso was elected Police chief read the Star Newspaper.
The biggest and most popular newspaper agency in the country.
Nonso holds the record as the youngest police chief in the history of the Nigerian police force.
And the most lethal.
He singlehandedly ended the reign of terror by the SARS operatives, totalling disbanding the unit, executing most of them to the dismay and utter disbelief of the local and international community.
How can one man weild so much power, and why is the presidency backing him up.
But Nonso was not just any man, Nonso was the man you called to clean up a mess and he did it without leaving a trace of stink nor stench.
At 35, his resume was a reflection of unsurpassable exploits and successes none could argue with.
He was light years ahead of his colleagues.
A school drop out from the University of Port Harcourt, rumours had it he was once a victim of cult related activities, he was bullied, threatened and made to run away from school.
But after two years, he was back again, older, stronger, bigger and smarter.
He was ready for them
Same rumor had it that after Nonso came back, legions of young cult guys ran away, those that didn't die form the terror he brought.
He came back and formed his own cult, or anti-cult.
All made up of former victims of cult related activities, just like him.
All trained, stronger, smarter and lethal than any force ever known.
A group that targets cultists!
And they went on to unleash a reign of terror that totally obliterated the era of cultism in Nigeria's education institution.
This was the beginning of his awakening and national sanitation.
But the presidency wasn't stupid
Eve though the entire country thought so.
Even the international community called him the joker
But he wasn't entirely stupid
He was playing a script
His own script
He was in over his head since he was elected, and he knew he had to do something to survive
So he created or rather trained his own Jack Bauer
A man who was ruthless and loyal
And one who would help him cement his presidency as one of he greatest in the country.
He wanted to be known as the man who ended terrorism.
Already he is being celebrated as the man who ended police brutality and corruption
Although it was a case of David and Saul
He didn't know this, he was a Muslim
But he didn't care
Let Nonso take part of the glory
He was aiming for something bigger, something more global
The total eradication of terrorism in Nigeria and Nonso was his hidden card.
Afterwards, he would take care of the police chief
He will make a martyr out of him, and soon Nigerians would forget the martyr and celebrate, worship and raise a monument for him, the president and savior of them all.
That was the grand plan.
"Mr President, Inspector Nonso is here sir."
His head of security, Abba, informed him.
"Ah, of course, let him in quickly, and Abba, hold all my other appointments."
He said it with his thick hausa accent.
"Right away sir." Abba said and went to carry out the instructions.
