Who Killed Atim episode 7
🙆WHO KILLED ATIM🤷
Episode 7.
Story by Miriam Edem.
It was really a long day I must say for the officers out there, but for me, it was ages locked anxiously in a room without knowing what’s going on out there.
Dusk was falling and I began to wonder what’s going on and why I haven’t seen my saviour yet.
The door flung open and I looked to see it was dinner but I was not interested.
“Where are the officers please? Are they not back yet? I asked but the man ignored and locked the door back..
Only God knows how miserable I would have been if my saviour was not there for my rescue. Probably by now I would have been so maltreated and abandoned here, but God came through for me sending a man concerned about the case who stood in the gap.
I sat down back on the floor i was like a rejected orphan looking at the ceiling for a very long time until the door opened again and I heaved a sigh of relief as I stood up from the floor I sat going to the door.
“Ayi? The man called out looking at me after I greeted him. I was looking so frustrated as i went to him as if my life depended on it.
“Sir I’ve been waiting for weeks now what happened? I asked.
“Ayi i thought I told you to calm down? you’ll fall sick with worry, the man replied.
“Sir what do you want me to do na? How can i be sitting here all day when I’m not used to such life, its making me sick already in fact I’m very sick! I shouted losing it.
“Hey! An officer shouted and attempted to approach me but the man stopped him.
“Its okay, the man said to the officer while I bowed my head.
“You better respect……. “I said its okay, the man cut in interrupting the officer who still insisted.
“I’m so sorry sir i didn’t mean to shout at you, mbok ku yad esit, I apologized and he nodded and sat down.
“Can you sit down now let’s talk? He asked and i quickly drew my seat and faced him.
“Good! So at a point i had to join the guys to know what’s going on. At 8miles the tenant took us to the compound she saw Atim once and it was a big one. We got in inquiring about Atim with her picture and no one seemed to know her. But someone suggested it must be a different compound because residents there passes through the compound she was seen to hit the road. So we had to go into surrounding compounds that linked to the identified one and we saw a woman who recognized Atim, the man narrated and i breathed out.
“oh finally, i said.
“Yes and we asked how they are related which she replied Atim is actually her late sister daughter and she is the one doing the catering business which Atim do help her out from time to time. She also attested to the fact that Atim visited yesterday afternoon and helped her to cook but she didn’t stay to eat because she said someone was waiting for her and she hurried off, the man continued.
“And that was me right? I asked.
“What time did Atim arrived your house? The officer with him asked.
“Few minutes past 5pm, i replied.
“Then the woman was right same with Atim, she passed from 8miles to your place, the man said
“Then the poison? I asked
“The food Atim cooked was tested and it was proven safe, the man replied and my eyes bulged out
“Oh abasi!Which one will i take again abi the poison fell from the ceiling? Who killed Atim? I shouted again angry we are just going in circles and the man heaved.
“The woman who came here was not Atim aunty…. in fact there are not even related to begin with. Atim just got herself involved with her after her mother died and resorted to stay with her despite her family warning, The man said.
“Is that so? Then there’s every possibility she poisoned Atim after all they are doing dirty jobs, who knows what they were fighting for and one had to take away the other from the way, i boldly said and the man smiled as if what i said was funny..
“We can’t say that for sure she killed Atim when we have no evidence to back up such claim, the man said.
“Evidence? Then why is she hiding if she’s Clean? Besides the woman telling Atim she will deal with her is that not enough evidence that she is capable of taking Atim off the way? I asked.
“Ayi let us do our job, we are trying hærd to see where we can find her, so do you have any idea of where she might be? the man asked.
“Me? No of course, i replied.
“So you see we are on the same page, because no one seems to know but we are trying to see how we can get the location through her phone numbers then we can squeeze out the truth from her. The best you can do is pray this comes out successful, the man said and i nodded.
“I’m doing that sir, but I’m just concerned and feeling so frustrated I’m stuck here doing nothing, i said.
“Just step up the prayers okay, then you’ll be doing something to help this case, don’t you religious people say prayers is the key? The man asked.
“No doubt sir, and that’s how God brought you to me na, this is no coincidence but God intervention, i replied.
“Impressive, now eat so you’ll have more strength to pray and I’ll talk with the officers to give you something to change up and where to have your bath and also a place to stay for the night. See you tomorrow, the man said tapping me on the lap and stood up.
“mbok sosongo o, esiere papa, i said getting up also and he left with the officers…………..
