Anonymous Call
Someone called Joe and told him Ken sent him to meet him at a secret location;
“Ken asked me to call you and give you this information let us meet at a secret location of your choice.”
Joe
“What! Where is he? Are you serious? His wife Lolly was never convinced that Ken was dead she always asked the question ‘if he is dead then where is his body?’”
He rang Lolly and told her he has an important message for her she came running because of anxiety.
Lolly
She came running;
“Jo-Jo I am very anxious why the urgency in your call?”
Joe
“I received an anonymous call confirming Ken sent him to us to say he is alive and kicking and it was a conspiracy and Burang his brother knows about it and played along for his selfish interest.”
Lolly
“What! Did I not tell you on instinct that I know Ken is not dead my God has triumph over evil.”
She stooped and prayed ‘two rakas’ to praise Allah for being merciful;
“When are we to meet him?”
Joe
“Immediately if you don’t mind.”
Lolly
“I don’t mind let’ go.”
Meeting Mamadi

“I was falsely accused and detained for 10 months and I joined the same cell with Ken who told me his story that his bus was involved in an accident where all people died but he narrowly escaped but sustained some serious injuries instead of being taken to the hospital his business rivals with the collaboration of some compromised officers detained him incommunicado.”
Lolly
“So my husband is still alive so why didn’t he made the effort as now and informed us?”
Mamadi
“Comprised officers were bribed and he was kept in solitary confinement so he would be charged to court very soon please get him a good lawyer to do therest for his freedom.”
Joe
“What is the charge?”
