You don't even know the half of it, T-man.
Look at me now. I'm literally his type.
- His type? - Yes!
What makes you think he's a he?
Oh, please. So a woman is kidnapping plenty other women?

Are we going to sleep here because of this thing?
Sorry.
I have groundnut here.
You'll like it
It's very fresh. Sorry.
I'll focus on my driving.
What is this now?
Why?
Why?
What's up?
Cheeka. What's up?
I just saw the link.
You see these police people?
Why will they release her name to the public?
Why?
How else are they supposed to find her
if her name isn't released?
I know you want this to be a secret
but it can't be.
I'll talk to my Commander and he will lean on the DPO.
Thank you, please.
See, the way I'm feeling...
Looks like I'll go back to that police station.
Those people are useless.
Completely useless.
Don't worry. I'll keep following up with my commander.
Just go home and get some rest.
If anything comes up, I'll let you know.
I'm on my way home. I'll call you later.
Sure.
- Madam, please... - Good afternoon, sir.
- ...write your statement. - No, I did that yesterday,
- and the day before, and the day before... - Please write your statement.
I need answers. No, listen here.
Every time I come here, you always tell me, "There's no news.
There's no news." Every day.
And then today you choose to act like I don't exist?
Do you even look at these statements?
Do you ever look at any of them?
I mean, let's see.
"Landlord rapes his tenant's child."
Has anything been done about that?
Somebody's car was stolen in their compound in broad daylight.
- Has anything been done about it? - Who gave a right to
read people's statements?
- I'm not just reading them. - Who gave you a right
- to read people's statements? - I see them every day in real life.
Does it make any sense to you?
Do you know that whatever you say now shall be used
- against you in the court of law? - Shut up!
Find my sister.
This is all I'm asking.
Because it is your job to find her.
Should I go to the press?
Should I go and tell them how incompetent
and how dysfunctional you are in this place?
Find my sister!
Hello, Auntie.
How are you, my dear?
I hope you've been eating.
I am.
I'm fine, thank you.
That's good. Eh, the Umu Ada society
have some things that you and your sister were supposed to
make available for your mother's burial.
But because everything was in a rush,
I had to beg them to leave it for now.
Ah, my sister!
My God! Take a look at me!
Look at how my sister just left me alone.
This is unfair. Heh!
- Oh, my! - Okay, auntie. Auntie!
So what would you like me to do for you now?
- Unless they're gonna solve the problem. - Ah-ah!
- Really? Ah-ah! - I don't have the time.
This is an insult!
- I just... - Do you realize I'm your auntie?
- I don't have the time for this. - Your mother's senior sister?
How can you talk to your auntie like this?
This is rude.
If I take you to the...
- Goodnight, Auntie. - ...Umu Ada you are going to be...
Is everything okay?
You look really sad.
I hope all is well.
I've just had a very rough day.
A rough 29 days.
Well, you know what they say.
"The difference between a stepping stone
and a stumbling block, is how you use them."
Is there a problem?
No.
That was just a very good quote.
Where did you hear that quote?
Why?
Because I'm a cab driver.
- No. - Ah.
Yes.
That quote has been on the door to our church since I was a kid.
Every time you look at your phone, you get sadder.
Did you lose someone?
I know that look.
I am familiar with it.
It's the look of hopelessness and anxiety.
All masked up in one straight face,
just to make everyone think
that everything is okay
even though it's not.
Jesus!
Another pothole. Sorry, no offense.
Are you actually trying to kill us?
Well, at least your blood is pumping now.
It will help your mood.
So?
Who did you lose?
My sister.
Your sister?
Older or younger?
Older.
These things happen.
Take heart.
She's not dead.
She's missing.
Ah! Then there is hope.
It doesn't matter how hard I look,
I cannot find her anywhere.
Sometimes I want to feel sorry for myself.
And then I imagine what she must be feeling like.
I lost my mother.
And my sister is missing.
The worst thing to happen to anyone,
is to lose their mother.
Who sat and watched my infant head?
When sleeping on my cradle bed?
And tears of sweet affection shed?
My mother.
Wow!
My sympathy.
So?
When was she kidnapped?
Your sister, I mean?
No comments yet. Be the first to leave one.
