Corruption – Episode 47

© Akoto Alexander

Twum Boafo: (screams and crocks his pistol) Nobody should move or else I will blow your heads off?

President R. Mensah: (in a faint voice) Please don’t sh00t, we are not bad people.

Twum Boafo: Oh shut up, every criminal claims he or she not a bad person but the truth is you all hardened criminals. Where are you going with that small boy at this ungodly hour?

Junior: (whispers) Mr president that voice sounds like my dad’s voice.

President R. Mensah: (whispers back) Are you sure of that junior?

Junior: I think so Mr president.

President R. Mensah: (in a faint voice) Is this Mr Twum Boafo talking?

Twum Boafo: Shut up you criminal, you are not only a criminal but you possess vudu spirit also. How did you know my name?

Junior: ( turns and runs to his dad) Daddy!! Daddy!! Daddy!!!! What are you doing here in the bush by this time of the day?

Twum Boafo: I came to keep a close eye on you and your friends who came to hunt for the fawn. What are you also doing here all alone with this man?

President R. Mensah: (comes closer) Hello sir, I am happy I have met you at last. Your son has told me much about you and I am honoured to meet a great man like you.

Twum Boafo: One more word from you and your skull will be scattered on the ground. What are you doing with my son here alone in this bush? If God didn’t bring me here like you would by now be walking my son to the lion’s den. Today your cup is full and I will hand you over to the police personally for attempting to kidnap and kidnapping my son you criminal in suit.

Junior: Daddy he is not a criminal, that is the president you have been dying to meet some day.

Twum Boafo: Is that what this kidnapping criminal told you?

President R. Mensah: Sir I can’t and won’t lie to the youngman who saved my life last evening. Your smart and very intelligent son told me about what you went through and how life has been unfair to you for some time now. Trust me, I will get you reinstated and you will be handsomely compensated for the shame that was brought upon you and your family.

Twum Boafo: Son it seems you are right because the voice of this man sounds like the president’s voice I hear on the radio. Lastly what shows or proves you are the president of this country?

President R. Mensah: I will give you my ID card so you can confirm, as you can see now the presidential emblem on my suit.

Junior: Daddy he is right so please help him as his life is in danger.

Twum Boafo: (after checking the ID card) But what are you doing here by this time when the whole of Ghana is mourning your death.

President R. Mensah: I escaped with the emergency exit booth that was on board and I landed safely some hours ago. If not for the divine intervention from your son who helped me out of the emergency exit booth, I would have passed out suffocating, he was only assisting me to get to the roadside.

Twum Boafo: Hmmmmm what a miracle for you to have survived. Now that I am here I will help you to safety but do you know the person or people behind the attack?

President R. Mensah: I intially thought it was from General Giwah whom I confronted yesterday in Cote D’Ivoire about his dictatorship and tyrant leadership but my pilot confirmed the missile that was shot on the plane came from Ghana before the plane crushed.

Twum Boafo: Mr president you mean some people from this very country want you dead?

President R. Mensah: Precisely so Mr Twum Boafo, now I don’t know whom to trust but I know the good Lord will never forsake me nor turn his back on me.

Twum Boafo: Then I would advice you lay low as I will take you to my new love’s house for safety. At the appropriate time then I will help take you back to your destination.

Junior: Daddy did you say you have found a new love? Is your new love aunt Adwoa?

Twum Boafo: My son is not only a smart boy but now a prophet who can give accurate prophetic prediction also, I am afraid she is the one.

Junior: (hugs the father) I am happy to hear this daddy, I like her so much and I know she likes us too.

Twum Boafo: (gives a breath of relieve) Thank God you didn’t make things difficult for me because I was wondering how to break the news to you and how you were going to receive it.

President R. Mensah: Hellooooooo!!! Sorry to cut in but please am I missing out on something here? I thought junior told me this place was not safe so can we move from here to safely please.

Twum Boafo: I am sorry Mr president, please let us be on our way. When we get to that T junction, we will use the left path which will lead us straight to the roadside after walking for a mile or so.

Back at the President’s Helicopter:

Pilot: In the next 15seconds when the red light turns into green, you must all jump from the chopper because that is your entry point. Mr president may God be with you.

President J. Bugri: (screams) Thank you flight lieutenant.

Pilot: (counts down) Three!! Two!! One!! It’s showtime please go!!!

The president, his entourage and security detail jump to the ground but unfortunately Hon Johnson didn’t land well and got his ankle twisted.

Hon. Johnson: (screams) Aaaaaah I have twisted my left leg and the pain is so sharp and severe.

Hon. Hajia Ramatu: Stop screaming and whining like a cat which is on heat, as we were been shown how to land you were busy recommending a big position for someone who is snoring by now on his bed. You think this jungle thing is meant for people who don’t have the balls?

Hon. Nii Nortey: You are not being fair over here Hajia. You need not rejoice in the pain of our on comrade who has twisted his leg. Bro sorry about your injury.

President J. Bugri: It’s okay the two of you, being at each others throat will not change the fact that I said I have someone to occupy that position. Mmmmm Jack, check the injury and tell us how bad his leg is as you examine it.

Bodyguard: Your Excellency it is very serious and bad, he has to be flown back to the city and rushed to the hospital ASAP.

President J. Bugri: Please go ahead with it immediately, this is not a mission that we have to get any casualties involved in it.

Bodyguard: (talks to the pilot via a walking talker) Come in Charlie Bravo. Over!!

Pilot: Charlie Bravo here, go. Over!!

Bodyguard: Charlie Bravo we have got a situation here, one of the MP’s with the president had a problem landing which led to his leg being twisted. I am buckling him up so you pull him back on board and get him treated at the hospital. Over!!

Pilot: Roger that sergeant. Over!!

Hon. Johnson is sent back to the chopper and he is flown away for treatment.

Back with in the Bush:

Twum Boafo: Your Excellency I heard the propellers of a helicopter at one place for some time, I will advice we climb on top of a tree with a thick branch for some time, make sure the coast is clear before we continue our journey to safety.

President R. Mensah: Mr Twum Boafo I don’t think that is a good move, junior told me this place is filled with snakes so what if we climb on top of a tree and we encounter one over there?

Twum Boafo: Well junior was right but the snake doesn’t climb any tree at all, there are some trees the snakes hate and don’t like to come closer to, the leaves of that tree tepels reptiles like snakes, frogs, lizards etc, I will search for that kind of tree so that we climb on top of it for some time.

President R. Mensah: If you say so I have heard you, I know my safety is now your concern so I will do as you say.

Twum Boafo: Junior you have a very important role to play as a backup plan should incase the unexpected happens, I will tell you what to do when I get the tree I am talking about.

Junior: Okay daddy I have heard you and you know you can count on me always.

Twum Boafo: That is my boy.

On board of the other Helicopter.

Man: Guys we are very close to where the signal is. I hope we are all ready for the search mission?

CDS: Jungle warfare is my hobby even though it’s been long I participated in such drill but I am up to the task.

Inspector Bediako: I have never been so ready like I am this early morning. Let us go and get the president back home safely.

Hon. Asantewaa: The game is played on the ground so let’s get to the ground and there we will see who is ready and who is not.

Man: I am happy that we are all set for this mission. As planned already, we will divide ourselves into three groups which will be led by myself, Inspector Bediako and madam CDS. Madam Asantewaa you will be in my group and since we are all trained service personnels, you can take this side arm. I hope you can still handle it?

Hon. Asantewaa: (smiles) No need to bother yourself because I came with my personal registered pistol. (brings it out a silver 32mm Russian made pistol)

CDS: Ahaaa, the slow pace of the lion is not a sign of cowardness. I am in love with the colour of your pistol madam.

Man: Now I am convinced we are all set and ready for this mission.

Pilot: We are at the drop zone sir. Sergeant Awuah please see to it that everyone is well buckled up.

Sgt. Awuah: Yes sir.

Man: It is action time ladies and gentlemen, please I entreat everyone to take care of him or herself and please be your brother’s keeper.

Inspector Bediako: Upon my little background check I got to know that there are poisonous snakes around this place so please let us becareful also with our steps and movement.

Man: Please everyone should tune his walking talker to a safe frequency where no one can be eavesdropping on us. I think channel 7 will be okay for us.

CDS: Boys before anything I would first commend you for your selfless decision, dedication and service to mother Ghana. If we come out successful on this mission, your names will go down in the history books of the brave men and women who defiled all odds to go and search for a missing and alleged dead president, also be rest assured that a two step promotion awaits everyone of you who embarked on this rescue mission. Knowing this I believe you are going to give your utmost best down there.

Pilot: When the light goes green you are cleared to jump. May the good lord be with you all.

Man: I wish ourselves all the best of luck. (the light goes green and they all jump out of the helicopter)

Back in the Bush:

Twum Boafo: I have seen one of the trees I had in mind for us to climb un top of.

President R. Mensah: Guys I have a problem here, all my life I have never climbed a tree before and I don’t know how I can do it.

Twum Boafo: Desperate times calls for desperate measures Mr president. I will help you climb the tree so please help us too by helping yourself up.

Junior: You will have to remove your shoe since you don’t have any experience in climbing trees.

President R. Mensah: I have heard you guys, I have a whole lot of narrations to give when I finally get to the city. I am wondering how my wife and little girl are coping with my absence by now? Ladies I will be home very soon so please be strong for me back there, I know by now you ladies are devastated.

Twum Boafo: Mr president we are here, please take your shoe and socks off as I push you up.

President R. Mensah: (does as instructed and he is helped up) I hope and pray I don’t fall down from the branches of this tree.

Twum Boafo: This tree is known for its strong and flexible branches. You will be fine up there Mr president, just trust me on that. Junior hope you remember our backup plan?

Junior: Yes please, I have got it all covered daddy.

Rescue Team:

Man: I hope everyone landed safely?

Hon. Asantewaa: I am very much okay.

Inspector Bediako: I am okay also.

CDS: I got down safe as well. How about you boys?

Captain Teye: I think we are all good ma’am.

CDS: That is good and a sign for positive things ahead. As we discussed on board the helicopter, that is exactly how we are going to do it. The formation and plan remains intact so let’s hit the grounds hard and I don’t want any casualties involved in this mission. I hope I am clear?

Captain Teye: Loud and crystal clear ma’am.

Man: Very well then, you all know the team you are to join, this is a 2 hour mission, we will converge here and be airlifted back to the air force base. Be reminded there are poisonous snakes around and before you make any move, communicate it to the leaders before.

CDS: Now listen up boys, who are you guys?

Military Personnels: (in a chorus voice) We are the 64 battalion and we don’t joke when it comes to warfare.

CDS: Ahuuuuua!!!

Millitary Personnels: (in a chorus voice) Ahooo!!! Ahooo!!! Ahooyaya!!! Morale.

Prez. J Bugri Team:

Hon. Nii Nortey: I am getting tired your Excellency, can we please rest a bit?

Hon. Hajia Ramatu: Nii Nortey are you for real? You a man asking for us to rest after walking for just an hour?

Hon. Nii Nortey: Hajia I will be very disappointed in you if you utter any more words, the fact that I am a man doesn’t make me a superhuman being. I stayed awake all throughout the night after a very busy day yesterday and besides that, I didn’t take my hypertension drugs last night.

Hon. Hajia Ramatu: I was with you all throughout yesterday and the night, the only time that we went our separate ways was when we went to change ourselves so why are you complaining now as if you covered an extra mile.

Hon. Nii Nortey: (raising his voice) Don’t try to patronize me Hajia, we have been walking and roaming through this bush without knowing where we are going and also we are from different backgrounds and upbringing so don’t compare your strength and endurance spirit to mine. Moreover I took coffee and alcohol last night which you haven’t taken some before so please don’t spoil my funk with you reggae. I am begging you to stay out off my matter please, if you want to win favour in the sight of our president, you are free to do that.

President J. Bugri: (screams) Enough of the cheap lamenting you two, I didn’t bring you here to distract me of my aim. If you are tired and you want to go back you can do so but don’t try to slow me down or else I will blow your brains out from your stupid heads. (pulls a 6 chamber pistol out and points it to Nii Nortey)

Hon. Hajia Ramatu: (surprised) Woyooo!!! Your Excellency you are carrying a gun on a search mission?

President J. Bugri: This is not just a search mission Hajia, it is a mission to cement my legacy and make sure there are no loop holes.

Hon. Nii Nortey: Loop holes? Your words are not plain sir, can you break it down for us?

President J. Bugri: I am going to come straight to the point, it took me over 8years to hatch this plan and execute it properly. I planned the bombing of the president’s plane myself and I must see to it that nothing goes wrong.

Hon. Hajia Ramatu: (very shocked) Oh my goodness Allah….. (something drops from a tree nearby)

President J. Bugri: (hears the sound) What is that and where did the sound come from?

Bodyguard: Sir I think it came from that place. (points to the right side)

President J. Bugri: So what are you waiting for? Go and check it out.

Junior: (sensing danger jumps from the tree) Please don’t sh00t.

Bodyguard: (commands) Raise your hands up to where I can see them or else I will blow your head off.

President J. Bugri: What is happening over there? (walks to the spot)

Bodyguard: Your Excellency this boy just jumped from the tree and it seems he is behind the sound that came a while ago.

President J. Bugri: Mmmm young boy, what are you doing in this bush all by yourself at this time of the day and what did you hear whiles you were on top of the tree?

Junior: (plays smart) Sir I and my father came to hunt in the bush. When we get to the bush and I get tired, I normally climb this tree and I rest till my father comes back for me. Also I didn’t hear anything when I was on the tree.

Hon. Hajia Ramatu: Hunting at this age with your father? That is child abuse your Excellency.

Bodyguard: (picks a phone from the ground) Sir please see what I also found on the ground. (hands it over to the president)

President J. Bugri: This is the satellite mobile phone we have been tracking all this while. Now young boy tell me where you got this phone from?

Junior: (fumbling with words) Mmmmm I saw our dog playing with a dress earlier on, when I took the dress from the dog, I saw that thing in it.

President J. Bugri: So where is the dog and where did you see your dog playing with the dress?

Junior: The dog has followed my father and I saw the dress somewhere there.

Hon. Nii Nortey: Your Excellency I don’t trust this boy, he is trying to play smart on us.

Hon. Hajia Ramatu: Oh yes, look at how he is fumbling with words and how his eyes are going round.

President J. Bugri: Boy I bet you don’t know or have the slightest chance as to who is standing in front of you this early morning. For the very last time, I am going to ask you in a very simple and plain language, if you don’t tell me the truth and what I want to hear, you see the fearsome man standing behind you? I am going to order him to put a bullet in your head, I hope I have made myself clear?

Junior: Yes please.

President J. Bugri: Very good. Now listen attentively to my question and think carefully before you answer me, if you don’t tell me the truth I have already told you what is at stake. Where did you get the mobile phone you were having in your possession and what did you hear before you dropped the phone from the tree?

Junior: Sir I swear I didn’t hear anything and what I know is what I told you. My father is a poor hunter and he always tells me to speak the truth and never lie to my elders.

President J. Bugri: Mmmmm your father taught you the right thing but I don’t trust you and the things you are saying to me. Jack escort him to him heaven and when you get there, search for my late father and tell him, he was wrong to say I can never be president in Ghana even if I use the crook means.

Bodyguard: With pleasure your Excellency, now young boy say your last prayer before I pull the trigger. (crock’s his gun)

President R. Mensah: (drops his shoe and jumps to the ground) Not so fast you backstabbers, are you not ashamed of your evil deeds? After all I did for you guys, the best way you thought of paying me back was to eliminate me huh? James you couldn’t have the decency to contest me in the flagbearer contest. You couldn’t wait to……..

President J. Bugri: (cuts in) Oh shut up Reedolf, who told you politics is a fair game? When did you start to do politics that you have been flexing muscles and throwing orders around?

President R. Mensah: But James where did I offend you? Didn’t I give you the room to operate? Didn’t I accord you the respect every president gave to his vice? Wasn’t I giving you to opportunity to be commissioning projects that I the president was supposed to commission? Didn’t I involve you in any decision I took as the president?

President J. Bugri: (cuts in again) Enough of the morality sermon Mr corruption fighter. Did you consult me when you single handedly determinated my wife’s contract of importing school uniforms into the country? Did you ask for my opinion when you fired Nii Nortey, Hajia Ramatu and Johnson? Do you know how stupid and foolish you made me look in the sight of wife and my reliable friends here? Well Ghanaians and the world as at now know that you are dead so say your last prayer before I personally put a bullet in your silly skull.

Hon. Nii Nortey: Your Excellency the news that came out made we all aware that president Reedolf Mensah died through a plane crush so if you put a bullet into his head, it will raise eyebrows and suspicions.

Hon. Hajia Ramatu: You are right Nii Nortey, if we will end the life of this too known guy like that, it will bring future repercussions so I think we should use a different way to eliminate him.

President R. Mensah: After all I did for three of you, the best way you think you can reciprocate is to plan for my death huh? You people all this while have been laughing with me in the face and stabbing me in the back. Indeed what our elders say is right, “if an animal will bite you, that animal has to be in your cloth”. If this is what you have planned for me, I leave you to posterity and as Jesus said to Peter, those who draw sod will equally die by the same sod.

President J. Bugri: (slaps the president) Massa take your posterity sermon somewhere else for you are witnessing the last minutes of your miserable life. I would advice you to utilize the last moment of your life profitably by praying to God to ask for forgiveness and also a chance to enter heaven if that place is not already filled up.

President R. Mensah: James it doesn’t have to end up this way, spare my life and I swear I will resign and let you take the presidential seat and I will never come back into politics to disturb you. Also no man born by a woman will get to know of our encounter here. You know I am a man of my word and integrity?

Hon. Nii Nortey: Hehehehe it looks like someone is afraid over here?

Hon. Hajia Ramatu: Nii Nortey if you have been reading your bible very well, you would have known that even Jesus Christ who came to fulfil a prophecy at the point when the Roman soldiers came to arrest him was afraid of death that he asked God why he has forsaken him and if possible the death ahead of him should pass him by.

Hon. Nii Nortey: I never knew you knew much from the bible like that?

Hon. Hajia Ramatu: Don’t forget my husband is a Sheikh and a Muslim scholar. We read both the Bible and Quran very well so that we can understand the teachings very well. For you christians, most of you are lazy so this fake and false men of God will always throw dust into your eyes and exploit you. I most at times feel pity for those ignorant women that give all their hard earned monies and savings to those thieves.

President J. Bugri: Enough of your religious lecture, Jack see him through the gates of heaven and give him a peaceful and painless transitional death.

Hon. Nii Nortey: Mr president, Ghanaians are currently aware that our man died through a plane crush so ordering Jack to sh00t him will raise concerns when finally his body is exhumed by the security personnels who flood this place in search of his body and the others. A gunshot mark on his body will raise eyebrows as Ghanaians would love to know the results of the autopsy that is conducted on him.

Hon. Hajia Ramatu: A sound made from a gun could call the attetion of anyone around this place, your Excellency, Nii Nortey is very right so let us find another means to execute our plan as day is fast breaking and we must be out of here soon.

Hon. Asantewaa and the Detective’s side:

Man: (monitors his machine critically) Madam Asantewaa the signal I am getting keeps getting stronger, it seems our man is very close so please put your ears to the ground, maybe we might hear some sound from him moaning in pain or something.

Hon. Asantewaa: Okay detective Akoto, I guess at this point we would also need to spread out so that we can cover a broader side of the forest.

Man: I think that is a good idea but please watch your steps carefully so you don’t step on any trap or a tail of a poisonous snake, communicate with me on anything you come across. We will converge at this exact location in the next 30minutes if you and I don’t come across any clue when we divide ourselves.

Hon. Asantewaa: I have heard you detective, please becareful also.

Back with the President and his entourage.

President J. Bugri: Well there has always been a thousand ways to ki*ll a cat, if we can’t sh00t him, nothing deprives us of strangling him or twisting his neck. Jack you have two options now so which one would be okay and simple for you?

Bodyguard: Mr president I am a trained killer, any one you would like me to melt out on him will be okay by me. Ever since you took me in and have been giving me orders to eliminate people, I haven’t gotten the pleasure to eliminate any important personality like him before. The last job you made me do was to ki*ll those three girls from Takoradi and I twisted the necks of two and strangled the older one amongst them to death.

President R. Mensah: Ah so James you were the one behind those kidnappings huh? You are an evil brut, an opperssive tyrant and a heartless person who doesn’t deserve to live in the midst of people. You find delight in causing pain in others and you pretend not to have a hand in all those heinous deeds. James, God will punish you for every tear you made some parents go through. God will never let you know peace on this earth. You will defecate and eat your own faeces, you will feel thirsty and urine will be the only liquid available for you to drink. Your wife, children and family will denounce you and have nothing to do with you. You will be disgraced and embarrassed that you will pray for death to come for you but death will even feel shy and ashamed to have anything to do with you. Mark my words for they shall surely come to pass.

President J. Bugri: Thank you for raining curses into my life, our elders say before every animal dies, it fidgets around so I can understand your predicament and loss talk. Hopefully we shall meet in hell, Jack see him off…….

Twum Boafo: (jumps to the ground) Not so fast you wicked and heartless people, drop your gun or I will waste your foolish life. I heard everything you wicked people were discussing and it will be over my dead body to watch you people lay a finger on the president.

President J. Bugri: Ahhh so how many people are left on that tree? First it was that young boy, later Reedolf and now you. If your wife and other family members are on top of the tree too, let them come out and join the party also.

Twum Boafo: (raises his voice) Will you shut up you traitor? Ain’t you ashamed of the things you said a while ago? Open your mouth again and it would be the last thing you will do on this cruel world we find ourselves in.

President J. Bugri: (pulls his pistol out again) Should I call you Hercules, Superman, Rambo or Chuck Norris the lone ranger? All my life, what I hate most is someone who pokes his or her big nose into my matter or affair, such people I deal with them in a way that, they don’t live to tell their stories and one perfect example is the former party chairman.

President R. Mensah: (holds his mouth in surprise) Jesus Christ… so James you were the one who sent assailants to the house of that man and you didn’t even spare his dog and eight months granchild? Oh James you are heartless.

President J. Bugri: So now that you know whom you are dealing with and what I can do, Mr Hercules as you can see now, there are more guns here than yours so I would advice you surrender peacefully so that I make your death a painless one even though you have provoked me and gotten on my nerves.

Twum Boafo: (tries to be sturbborn and gets shot in his left arm) Ajeeeeeeei you have shot me.

President J. Bugri: Why were you thinking it was a toy gun I was holding? The next bullet will be going through your skull if you don’t keep quite.

Junior: (tries to help his father but receives a slap also as he falls on his father on the ground) Daddy!! Daddy!! Daddy!! Are you alright?

President R. Mensah: James leave them out and deal with me, I am the one you have issues with and not them. If you have any frustrations, channel them on me and leave them alone.

Rescue Team:

Man: (talks on the the walking talker) Madam Asantewaa are you the one who fired your gun?

Hon. Asantewaa: No I wasn’t the one, I even thought it was you?

Man: No I haven’t shot a bullet from my gun yet, what happened means we are not alone in this bush. Please becareful as I send a signal to the others.

Hon. Asantewaa: I have heard you detective Akoto.

Man: Now to all units, listen and listen good, we are not the only ones in the bush armed so be on the alert and don’t forget to keep me updated on anything you come across. Over!!

Inspector Bediako: I have come across the presidential plane and it is on fire. Over!!

Man: Try and see if you can come across any casualties or some bodies and please becareful where you are because at night, fire or light attracts some wild animals. Over and out!!

Back at the Encounter Zone:

President J. Bugri: I knew you will play the christ like role here but unfortunately, when you don’t leave any traces, clues or witnesses behind, the case dies at that place. When you meet my stupid late father who said I can never be president in this country, tell him I was sworn in as the President and Commander in Chief of the Ghana Armed Forces last night.

Junior: You were sworn in using devious ways to get to that position and no one will respect and serve you.

President J. Bugri: (smiles) What a brave, arrogant and silly boy you are? Your bravery and arrogance dug your early grave and I hope you get a place in heaven to stand. Jack over to you.

Bodyguard: With pleasure sir, today I am getting the chance to eliminate a very powerful personality of this land and I feel so special and fulfilled. Mr president thanks for this opportunity. (holds the head of president Mensah)

Man: (fires his gun and he shoots Jack) Not so fast your criminals, raise your hands to where I can see them and if you attempt to make any silly move, I will blow your heads off.

President J. Bugri: (turns to face detective Akoto) Ah what kept you so long captain America? I was expecting you about an hour ago but hey you are still here to join the massacre at long last.

Man: (screams) I said raise your hand up or I will blow your heads off.

President J. Bugri: All this while I respected and thought you were smart but am just realising you are daft and too full of yourself. You come to the bush all alone to rescue the president? Do you think we are watching a Chuck Norris movie where he works alone? Turn around and you will see you have been outnumbered by my men.

Man: (turns around and sees a female soldier pointing an AK47 assault rifle at him) Oh so you had it all planned and figured out right?

Female Soldier: (commands) Drop your weapon slowly and nicely before I pull the trigger.

Hon. Asantewaa: (orders from behind) I don’t think so young woman, it seems you are at the wrong side of the battle field. Make any funny move and that would be your last move on this earth.

President J. Bugri: Oh I see, I never knew you came with a whole battalion, detective. All the same welcome my honourable outgoing chief of staff, I never knew you were familiar with weapons?

Hon. Asantewaa: For your information, I was once an immigration officer. I have done so well to hide that part of me from my resume and everyone. For you Mr Bugri, I have always suspected you not to be of good conduct but I never had any evidence to make my claim or justify my point. Today your cup is full and the world will get to know how evil and corrupt you are, you will be charged for treason and you will be sentenced to death.

Hon. Hajia Ramatu: (cuts in and pulls a pistol from her back) Enough of your unwanted lecture woman, do you think you are the only one who knows how to pull a gun? I will show you that I was once a ghetto girl who was born and raised in the slum, there has always been a big reason why I never liked you and I don’t know if you were smart enough to notice that. Now do yourself a favour and drop that pistol you are holding in your hands.

President J. Bugri: Mmmmm it is getting interesting here and I am loving a very second of the things happening here in this bush. Now that you idiots have realised you have been outnumbered I think it will be prudent for you to lay your weapons down. Jack are you okay?

Bodyguard: (in pain) Mr president that idiot shot me in the arm and I am bleeding out.

Hon Nii Nortey: (places his face towel on the injury) Jack put pressure on the face towel to stop the blood and also prevent air from entering the wound.

Inspector Bediako: (gives a warning shot into the air) Evil can never triumph over good and no matter how you try to sink a ball in a water, it will always float on the water. You evil doers should drop your weapons if you value your lives.

President J. Bugri: Ah so what is motivating you fools at all? You keep popping up as my men clump you down. Jack where are your millitary guys we came with?

CDS: (screams from behind) No need to bother because I have all of them under my custody. Captain make sure each one of them is properly handcuffed and thoroughly searched to be sure none of them is carrying any extra weapon or any object that can be used in causing harm on him or herself. All the military personnels found in this scandal will be arranged to face the court martial when we convey them to the barracks on the charge of treason, attempting multiple murder, committing multiple murder, destroying state owned property, holding the president hostage and many other charges.

Twum Boafo: (in a faint voice) Mr greedy evil president, I believe you have accepted defeat now? Next time do your homework and background check well, then know the family you will mess around with.

President R. Mensah: James remember I told you that you can touch the walls of my country but you can never shake the foundation of it. Evil can never triumph over good so as darkness can never outshine brightness. I extended my hand to give you a handshake but you declined and threw a blow at me rather, for every pain you have caused Ghana and some innocent souls, I will make you pay and pay dearly with the last drop of your blood. For you two also, your greediness is what has brought you here, you will face the same penalty your leader faces. To my reliable security detail over to you.

Man: Inspector Bediako, this fishes is for you to consume. Do us the honours by arresting them for us.

Inspector Bediako: With pleasure sir, ever since I joined the police service, I haven’t had the chance to put a handcuff on any politicians or lawmaker. Mr James Bugri, I don’t have to waste my time to read your rights to you because you don’t have one now but anything you say here and now will be used against you in the court of law. (pulls his handcuff out and handcuffs James Bugri)

President J. Bugri: I would have succeeded if not for you witches and wizards of progress.

Man: (hands a handcuff over to Inspector Bediako) Inspector Bediako please you are left with the other two people standing next to you.

Inspector Bediako: For you this Muslim woman I have never liked the way you do your things and the way you talk even. Instead of you to preach peace as your religion states, you rather find solace in causing havoc and calamity in the country. That Hajia tag on you must be stripped off from you by the n

National Muslim Council before you face your judgement. For you Nii Nortey I am not surprise you are part but am disappointed in your actions to commit this unpardonable and heinous offence.

Hon. Nii Nortey: (in tears) This is the work of the devil, we were misled by the vice president so Mr president please find a place in your heart to forgive me.

President R. Mensah: Nii Nortey I have forgiven you but you will still face the full vigorous strength of the law. Please take them away from me, the sight of them alone is choking me and get my friend here some medical attention.

Hon. Nii Nortey: If we are been taken away like that then I must inform you that Johnson was also part of the plot, I can’t face the penalty alone.

Inspector Bediako: No problem Mr evil doer, I will send some officers to go for him so he joins you wherever you find your traitorous selves.

CDS: Captain make the call so that the chopper comes for us.

Captain Teye: I just picked a signal from the Western Command, they are at the accident scene now bringing the dead bodies out.

CDS: That sounds good though, your Excellency with your permission can I move this criminals?

President R. Mensah: Carry on madam CDS, until we get to the city these traitors are under your able leadership and command.

CDS: (salutes) Very well Mr president and my Commander in Chief of the Ghana Armed Forces.

Man: (comes close to the president) Are you alright your Excellency?

In one sentence describe Junior.

What lies ahead of Twum Boafo?

What will be the fate of James Bugri, Nii Nortey, Hajia Ramatu and the military personnels?

Who was your hero for this jungle expedition?
