The Young Scholar Episode 18

Starting from where Episode 17 stopped…

Inspector segun – The law has found you guilty. You’re responsible for the death of Precious Anord the daughter of Mr Anord Simon.

Abdulrasaq – What??

Mummy Summaiyah – What?? Which one be all this problem?

Mummy Khadijah – What is really going on na? who is behind all of these?

Abdulrasaq – I didn’t kill anyone
Inspector Segun – When we get to the station you will explain yourself better… officer take him away

Yusuf – Officers you guys must be mistaking something…

Inspector Segun – what do you mean young man

Yusuf – Our friend here hasn’t commit any of this crime

Inspector Segun – Is that what he told you? I don’t have time for silly aargument…. officers handcuff him let’s leave.

The two officers grabbed Abdulrasaq on the waist and the other one brought out handcuffs from his belt and handcuffed his hands (Abdulrasaq) and took him away. The women were speechless at this time and they began to cry. Khadijah returned from the market and met them in a very sad state, it was more like they lost someone.

Khadijah – What’s going on here? Why are you both crying (Talking to her mom and mummy summaiyyah)

Mummy Khadijah – They took Abdulrasaq (crying..) Them don carry the innocent boy

Khadijah – I don’t understand, who took him?
Mummy Summaiyyah  – The police came here this morning and they said Abdulrasaq is responsible for the death of Precious Anord.

Khadijah – What?? Another lie again? Who is planning all this things? (Feeling so furious and at the same time in pain). In her mind she says “why do the man I love have to go through all of these things? And just when I think things were going to get better between us”. She sat down and then tried to console her mother and mummy summaiyyah.

Abdulrasaq was detained and kept under custody. He was asked to find a lawyer who will help with his case. Meanwhile Habib and his friends went to inform the Imam about the recent situation.

Yusuf – Asalamu alaikum sir ya Imam
(Habib and his friends) They all Extend the Salam to the Imam

Imam Malik- Wa alaikum salam jammah

Yusuf – Please we need your help… Our friend Abdulrasaq had been detained

Iman Malik – Let’s go to the station right away.

They hurried down to police station. Imam Malik asked Yusuf to inform Alhaji Bello they all arrived at the police station simultaneously.

Imam Malik and Alhaji Bello – Please we want to see the DPO (talking to the policemen in the reception)

Officer John – Ahhh Good day Alhaji…. Come with me let me take you to my oga

They followed him and they all entered his office when they got there.

DPO – Ahhh Alhaji Bello, Good day sir

Alhaji Bello – Good day to you my Dpo

Imam Malik – Good day sir

DPO – what brings you to my office?

Alhaji Bello – Our Young Scholar has been accused of so many crimes which he knows nothing about… Please sir we need you to look into this matter and make sure your boys carry out concrete investigation.

DPO – What is his real name?

Alhaji Bello – Abdulrasaq

DPO – Oh Abdulrasaq??.. Looking at the charges held against him… There’s nothing I can do at the moment. Let’s hope his lawyer is able to defend him in court….

Imam Malik – Oh no (with a sad face)
