“The Police Area Commander (AC) is interested in the case,” a police officer with a cellphone said. “He just called to say that he is now at his seat, and wants to see all of you in his office.” The AC’s office was about one hundred meters across the yard, from where we were seated. We all filed into the AC’s office. He was seated, and his large desk was decorated with pictures, flags and small objects with personal sentimental values. He was a handsome middle-aged man who seemed rather too pleasant looking to be a police officer. Not until he stood up did I realize that his gait was forward-leaning, with the robust physique of a football tackler. You wouldn’t want to be in his way despite his handsome mien.

THE IYEYE PALANT

ByMoyo Okediji

To the Yoruba Nation

There is a new vision

It is from Odu Irosun

And it advocates the IYEYE plant

Now listen:

We are now near the top of the Gbadi Hill

It is the tallest hill in the universe

So tall, its head is a pointed triangle.

Now the citizens of Iperi were hungry

They cried out from hunger and unhappiness

They were in pain for homelessness

They needed a savior

Who will protect the people of Iperi

A young stranger will shelter the people of Iperi
