Daddy was shot in the head and chest by unknown gunmen that night. His car was battered by bullets.
The police found him dead by the time they got to him. No one saw the man or men that pulled the trigger.
But Fred... Who was he?
It wasn't unusual for Daddy to stay out till dawn so no one raised an eyebrow until a police inspector appeared at the gate the next morning. Adamu ran at once to fetch my mother.
Adamu ran at once to fetch my mother. She fainted as soon as the news was broken to her. Suddenly time stood still. It seemed as if God had gone to sleep. My daddy of all people was said to have been murdered in cold blood.
