Two Days Later

Inspector General of Police Office, Abuja
Mr. Adams Arinze
Zeus enters the IG’s office with Hades; three police men followed behind
“You’re welcome sir” Mr. Adams said and they shook hands and sat
“Thank you”

“Inspector, I am sincerely not happy with the police for the attack they had our people”
“Mr. Zeus”

“Just Zeus please” Zeus corrected
“Zeus, the police was acting on orders” he commented

“Who’s orders?”
“Orders from the House of Reps” he said and Zeus smiled
“I see” he said and looked at Hades
“So the orders were to kill innocent people”
“the orders were to arrest you” he said
“Well as interesting as it may sound, I am sitting in your office and not under arrest… look Inspector, I need you to call your boys to order because Nigerians are seriously angry and are ready to burn down police stations”
“Zeus… you can’t pull down the police force”

“Who said anything about me?” Zeus asked
“Tell that to Nigerians; you have killed family men and friends and if you do not call your men to order I will bring in the Nigerian Army on you and all the police. And let me warn you… I would not be responsible for your disaster”

“Why are you doing this?” Inspector asked
“Why am I doing this? Are you asking me that? Do you know what your government has cost Nigerians? The government has put the country in a very uncomfortable state for the average Nigerian; this rubbish has to end because it has reached its limits”
“I understand the economic state” Inspector said

“it’s not just economy; at this point Nigeria wants to have the power switched and I want the police to be on our side when we make our next move because the next stage is called Point and Kill; even the whole police force cannot stand against us at this period’ Zeus said and stood up then walked away with Hades.

The IG was scared because he knew that Zeus was right and secondly there is a strong alliance with the Army
“Wait” Inspector called and Zeus stood still at the door

“What would happen if the police joins you” he asked
“Nigeria would spare their blood” Zeus said and walked away…

TVC Interviewing Honorable Minister Emmanuel Okon and an Executive from NGL Mr. Ahmed Balogun

Interviewer: And here in the studio with us are two important personalities and we will be discussing the issue of NGL vs. the Federal government

Interviewer: We have an executive from NGL Mr. Ahmed Balogun and from the House of Reps is Honorable Emmanuel Okon. Thank you for joining us sirs
“Thank you” both reply

Interviewer: Ok let’s start with the fight between the Nigerian Police and the NGL members. Honorable let me start with you, people are saying that the police went to far as to killing the people, what do you say?

Hon. Emmanuel: Ahem thank you… you see, the problem here is from the NGL members who attempted stopping the police from making an arrest. The arrest issued was directly from the House of Reps and the people had no right to stop the police from making that arrest

Interviewer: So are you saying the police were right as to shooting?

Hon. Emmanuel: I am not saying they were right, although it was a mistake on their part but you also forget that the people also killed police men. Police officers were lynched at the spot with different dangerous objects, so I believe the police had right to defend themselves from fugitives

Interviewer: Mr. Balogun, what’s your say on the matter?

Mr. Balogun: Well, I must say that the House of Rep had no right to arrest Zeus because they hold nothing against him, he had not attacked in any form but what they did was an act of fear on knowing that they are guilty of corruption and that their days as thieves in their offices is coming to an end. And as for the police, they were wrong to have shot these innocent people who the minister referred to as fugitives which they are not. It was the police attack on them that made them attack back in return so I believe the police were wrong to have shot these innocent people who the minister referred to as fugitives which they are not. It was the police attack on them that made them attack the police in return so I believe the police were wrong;

Interviewer: Ok, so what has been done concerning the deaths of this members?

Mr. Balogun: Well, we can’t bring them back and it’s a great lose which angered everyone but so far the NGL movement has been able to visit their families and compensate them with the sum of 15 million and some other items and this act from NGL has increased the people love and support for the party. This is something we know our government can never do

Interviewer: Waw, that really good but why is NGL raising against the government at this time’’

Mr. Balogun: Nigerians are tired of suffering and hunger and lies from politicians, they want a real change. And NGL can bring it to reality, we also organize cordial parties in Lagos every month and that day, anywhere you go in Lagos you’d see that something good is happening

Interviewer: What’s the reason for the party?

Mr. Balogun: It’s for the people to have a taste of something good; there are many people out on the streets who have nothing to eat but this period provides them with something to eat. We all know that Nigerians love to party

Interviewer: Ok back to you Honorable, since the arrest didn’t work out, what are the next moves?

Hon. Emmanuel: The house is still discussing something confidential for now but soon will be known because presently the President has not been in the country for some time now

Interviewer: Mr. Ahmed, after the police attack on NGL, what do you think would be the relationship between Nigerians and the Police
