The policemen, on getting to the station didn't even allow me to say anything before landing me another resounding slap that made my body vibrate like a Nokia 3310 phone of Blessed memory. I tried explaining my innocence to them and all my pleas fell on deaf ears.
I was worried about FATIMOH and even when I told them about my friend being a critical condition, they promised me another slap and the spirit of silence immediately enveloped me. I was thrown into a cell mostly inhabited by Hausas and Muslims, I peed on myself immediately I saw their mean looking faces and they gave me a stern look that depicted hatred.
The policeman said something in Hausa language to them and one them punched his feet and nodded, he also made a sign that says, "I will slice his throat"
My heart has never beaten that fast in my entire life, I was sweating profusely and didn't know what to do at that point, so I surrendered everything to God and just accepted My faith that I wasn't meant to be survive it. I prayed silently all through the night and kept repeating psalm 23 , if God wouldn't save me, then I have no business being alive, those were the words I consoled myself with.
The next thing I felt were punches and stabs, I yelled, screamed, shouted, begged, but no one came to my rescue, the policemen walked past my cell and didn't bother to look towards that direction.
I couldn't fight it off anymore, they were four of them, but I noticed one of them sat down and didn't join them, they beat me up so mercilessly that I nearly passed out.
Wisdom suddenly came upon and I played dead but a stab came through to my chest that made me jerk and I finally passed out.
The policemen on seeing the lifeless body of Caleb came in and bundled him into their van that night and dumped his remains in a dustbin.
Caleb motionless body remained there till the following morning and it took the waste disposal Personnels to notice it and they immediately alerted the same police station.
By this time, a crowd had gathered and were taking pictures and uploading it on their different social media platform.
The Policemen arrived the scene and pretended to be busy, checking what was not missing and looking for traces where there is none.
They left the scene with the pretence of receiving a distress call much to the surprise of everyone..
The crowd began to disperse one by one. One girl summoned courage and moved closely to dead body and thats when she noticed Caleb was still breathing.
She Shouted and called the others to come help her but they refused to even touch him.
It took school students to help her and since nobody was willing to carry him in their van, they carried his body to the hospital and it was such a long walk but this brave students didn't care.
The hospital were relunctant to accept him at first, but when they saw the stress the students and the girl passed through, they couldn't help it any longer.
"Doctor, don't worry, I will take care of his bills, just don't let this man die" The beautiful lady said.
The Doctor proceeded to treatment as he called on the nurse.
"I want to attend to this Patient here, make sure the girl with knife wounds, yes the one that those Rotarians came to donate blood to, yes FATIMOH, make sure you give her injections, I will check on her later".
