of journey you should be expecting, as you move to your
200level and 300 level, you will embark on bigger trips, that
is if God spares our lives.

interest to embark of this tourist journey, you know, I

will be a memory to so many

All celebrates except Anna

unsafetiness of this place, how true is that

Driver shocks. Everyone murmurs about them complaining about security earlier

HOD

Ummmm yes, that is true, this road is really not safe for
anyone, which is why I'll urge all of us to quietly move
into this bush cause the bandit along this road wouldn't
spare a soul if we are found on this road, so follow me
quietly while I make arrangements for enough security to
ensure our safety.

How did it happen?

HUNTER

35 years ago, some ritualist invaded our village, killed


our youth, and kidnapped our women and children. I watched
my Dad being killed from a distance, before my watchful
eyes my wife and mother were taken away. My son went
missing and there was nothing I could do. But the gods
assured me that one day I will surely meet my son

PASTOR

How did you know we were coming?

The I am has sent me, to set his people free

CHIEF PRIEST

I am the mighty… they are now prey for my gods and they
cannot be taken

PASTOR

It is written even the prey of the mighty shall be taken


away and the captives of the terrible shall be delivered…

CHIEF PRIEST

You dare to contend with the spirit over their meal… young
man you will end up a prey yourself… I will give one last
chance to leave this place in peace before I tear you in
to pieces…

PASTOR

Thus says the Lord he will contend with him that contend
with me I the Lord shall save his Children…

CHIEF PRIEST

I have had enough now prepare to face your end

The chief priest begins his incantation

PASTOR

Who is he that says a thing and it comes to pass… for thus


says the lord It shall not stand neither shall it come to
pass…he frustrated the tokens of liars and maketh diviners
mad. who are thou oh great mountain before Zerubbabel?
Thou shall be made plain… for it is written at the mention
of his name every Kneel must bow… in the name of the Lord
Jesus I Command you to Bow…

(The chief priest screamed and increase the intensity of his incantation as he
begins to summon all his gods and his demons but his gods fail him. The chief
priest disappears and the pastor arrest his spirit. He comes back weak. Pastor
pours anointing oil on his charms. The police arrest every one of them
including Mr. Marcus and the HOD)
