Chapter One

It was 6.00pm on Monday, Mr. Ford had just returned from work. While resting on his brown sofa chair his eyes were attracted by striking front page headline in one of the newspapers kept on the center table “Uncertainty beclouds Renjaba” it read.

"Uncertainty? How? Have these infidels struck again?" He kept nodding his head as he curiously read from one page to another.

A knock at the door interrupted Mr. Ford who suspended his reading to attend to the visitor.

"Hello my dear friend Kennedy, welcome", he said.

"Ford, there is a big problem in this country. Indeed the sound of confusion looms the atmosphere but none knows from where it blows. Haven’t you noticed that all national and local electronic media stations are off air for sometimes now?  Is that not strange? People are rumouring everywhere the military is about taking over the government. In fact, there is fear everywhere".                              

"Calm down Kennedy, there is no problem. I am sure the government is in full control and the military cannot overthrow her.  I have a strong feeling the government is strategically planning on how to put final stop to the activities of Trojan group. These infidels have wrecked the security of this nation and I support the government to employ any available means in pulling them down. That means all hands should be on deck towards ensuring total peace and tranquility in Renbaja", he replied.

Mr. Joe hurriedly flipped open the curtains rushing in with a confused face.

"Oh, you are here too, my friends I don’t really know what this country is turning into. Ford please turn on your television immediately the president is about to make a national announcement at 9.00pm. As I speak, people are running home for the announcement".

"It is almost 9.00pm", Mr. Ford glancing at his wall clock said while turning on the television.

Anxiety was fully written all over their faces as they expectantly waited for signal. Suddenly, a wave hissing sound accompanied by stable and bright picture of Renjaba Coat of Arm appeared with the National Anthem heard at the background.

“Good evening my good people of Renjaba, I sincerely apologize for the sudden inconveniences and anxiety the government action put on the nation for the past five hours.This was for genuine reason that is why I am here to inform all a sundry the decision of the government. I, Williams Shoot, the President and the Grand Commander of Republic of Renbaja stand to officially and publically invite the members of Trojan Group for a dialogue with the government. The rate of bloodshed and insecurity mayhem perpetuated by them in this country can longer be taken for granted. The government is therefore calling this group for a round-table talk, but peradventure they fail to honour this request within three days, we shall then know they do not want peace either. I advise every citizen of this great country to be law-abiding, security conscious and to report any suspicious movements and activities of any person or group to the nearest police station. Finally, let everyone be calm because the government is committed in protecting lives and properties of her citizen and we promise to step up security measures right from this minute, Thank you“.

Hmmmmmm…, a deep breath of relief was unanimously exhaled.

"I said it, the military is out fashioned to take
