I came across an advert on social media looking for ladies as USHERS in an event. They were looking for 20 ladies for the job, so I picked interest and inbox the lady that advertised it.
We chatted and she said the pay was 30k for the weekend job(Saturday and Sunday).
On the supposed day which was on Friday evening that I was suppose to meet with her in a fastfood centre, she told me her younger brother will come pick me up to the house that she was on her way to get other girls and don’t want to keep me waiting for so long, I said OK, I waited for few minutes and saw someone as young as this young man dialing my number, I waved at him and he gave me a hand demonstration to come outside.
I came out and greeted him with a smile, he was looking so distracted and uncomfortable, he said we will board a bike without even looking at my face, he was seriously avoiding eye contact.
He called one bike and told me to climb, I did and he said I should adjust he wants to join me, haba….I told him we can use 2 bikes that I will pay for mine…..he insisted he wants to seat behind me and before I could argue further, he sat on the bike and told the bike man to move.
Hmmmmm, along the road I started having this restless feelings inside of me, I could not explain why…..some how I was hearing my late mum’s voice inside my head calling me CHINENYE REPEATEDLY.
I became more uncomfortable inside me, when I noticed the path we were driving was becoming so lonely, my restlessness turned into fright, I managed to ask him if we are close to the house, he ignored my question……I started shivering and praying in my heart silently.
Luckily for me, I sighted a roadblock with two uniform men, they stopped us and asked us who we were and where are we going to???……immediately, I screamed and told them I don’t know this bike man or this one seating behind me and I don’t know where they were taking me….., the police man pointed his gun and commanded us to get down and move towards the station. They kept both men behind the counter and started interrogating them.
After much question, the lady refused to answer my calls anymore but when the police man called her with his number, she picked.
It was a lady inspector that broke the news about missing girls and kidnapped cases but nobody has identified the suspects. They detained the boys and they carried me back to my hostel and told me to thank my star.
The worst case was that, NOBODY KNEW MY LOCATION OR WHERE I WENT TO……NOBODY KNEW.
See eeeeh, I DEY COME, NO BE DIRECTION TO WHERE YOU DEY GO.
MAKE I REACH SOMEWHERE I DEY COME BACK NOW NOW…..NO BE DIRECTION TO YOUR WAY ABOUT.
MAKE I SEE SOMEBODY I DEY COME NOW…NO BE DIRECTION OF YOUR WAY ABOUT.
I LEARNT MY LESSONS THAT DAY AND I HAVE NOT TOLD A SINGLE SOUL THIS STORY BEFORE.
RIP TO INI!!! JUSTICE FOR INI.
SO SAD HOW SHE ENDED ALL BECAUSE SHE WAS LOOKING FOR A JOB.
THERE WAS A COUNTRY CALLED NIGERIA!!!
