The school SUG president soon showed up with the school
authorities and the police, quickly dispersing everyone. “You can now go on with your various activities; we are here to take charge of the situation, be rest assured that the person behind this outrageous crime will be caught. If you have any information to share please don’t hesitate to bring it to our knowledge. Mind how you talk to the press or better still leave us to do the talking. You are warned” the Dean of students addressed us before we were dispersed.
I returned to my room extremely scared and
afraid. I couldn’t imagine what the
outcome of their investigation will be. I
didn’t leave my room all through the rest
of that day. I simply stayed indoors with
my conscience punishing me. I was ready to do anything for my fears to go away.
Nmeka’s body was taken away later in the afternoon. I couldn’t help but peep through my window as an ambulance carried the poor thing away. Yes the time was precisely 03:15pm. I really couldn’t imagine what caused the delay in moving a body discovered very early in the morning.
However some minutes after her body was taken away. A strange kind of dizziness took over my entire body. It was as if my room was spinning round with me in the centre. I lost balance and collapsed on my bed, breathing heavily while sweat drenched my body. I couldn’t believe nor
understand what was happening. I never experienced such a thing before, but luckily I regained myself some minutes after. I tried hard to think what could have happened, but just couldn’t figure out anything. Not only was my eyes now seeing things that never was, the rest of my body has equally joined in the game.
Could Nmeka’s spirit be behind this?” I wondered miserably.
“But I didn’t kill anybody. It was just an accident. I did what I had to do to save face” I kind of spoke aloud before realising myself.
A sharp knock of my door, quickly notified me of a visitor waiting outside.
“Was I heard? Is it the police?” I nervously asked myself as I sluggishly went to my door.
