THE ABOMINATION – EPISODE 12

It was 8pm and we began to make preparation for the 9pm meeting. My father in-law had insisted he will not go with us this time. I’m already feeling my BP had gone up and I wouldn’t want it to go higher than what it is if you don’t want to carry my corpse back to Ajase, he said.

THE ABOMINATION – EPISODE 11

We thought we had heard confessions until Kassim made us believe he killed his grandmother. His father could not hold himself anymore as he bursted into tears. Pastor let him die, he does not deserve to live, let him die. I cannot have this monster as a son, he’s not my blood.

THE ABOMINATION – EPISODE 10

It was an all-night prayer and praise session. At about 4:20am Kassim became restless and unstable. He began to shout, “fire” “fire” “fire”. All of us standing by saw no fire but he kept screaming and complaining fire was burning him all over his body. Remove the fire,

THE ABOMINATION – EPISODE 9

Two days to the expiration of the deadline given by the herbalist, my husband was yet to confess the atrocities that lead to our ten years of barrenness and closed heaven. Even while it was clear he would die, he refused to say anything after much begging and assurances of soft landing. As at this time, I had forgotten what he did to Ope in our house. All I wanted was for him to be out of the situation at hand.

THE ABOMINATION – EPISODE 8

My husband was taken to a herbalist in Egi-Oyo Ipo, a very small hamlet in Kwara state. The herbalist made some incantations, gave him some concoctions to drink and for the first time his eyes came down. The smiles on our faces were aborted when the herbalist came to announce to us “I see death on his forehead”. We can only remove this death if only he can confess the secret in his belly. Secret? I shouted.

THE ABOMINATION – EPISODE 7

I got a call from an unknown number on the 13th of July asking me if I was Mrs Nneka Kassim. I almost replied my caller by saying, “No, it’s a wrong number” but I changed my mind to answer in the affirmative. “Yes, I am Mrs Nneka Kassim, how may I help you?” I asked my caller.

THE ABOMINATION – EPISODE 6

Mama left with Ope and the house was deserted. I went there to pick more of my things. After a week, Kassim called Toyin begging her to plead with me to forgive him and return home. She can’t return home just like that. In fact, myself and my husband are already filing for divorce between both of you.

THE ABOMINATION – EPISODE 5

Before we left Toyin’s place, I managed to brief her. She was mute in disbelieve. We got home and Kassim was nowhere to be found. He abandoned the poor girl at home to nurse her pain all alone.

THE ABOMINATION – EPISODE 4

I was to attend a burial ceremony along with Toyin that Saturday. I left home very early to beat the traffic that normally builds up on Saturdays because of weddings and other events.

Days became weeks and weeks became months, no one talked about what baba told us. We resumed our normal life until Ope came visiting. Ope is the younger sister of Kassim who came to seek for admission into Kogi State University, Ayangba.
