Talebearing24- Kidnappers Kidnapped Armed Robbers

           On one fateful night, a woman was going to a Church for a vigil around 22:30hours but unknowingly to her, she boarded an eighteen-seater bus belonging to the agents of ritualist plying this particular major road in the night. When she entered the bus, she met three able men including the driver in the bus with the hope that the two men besides the driver were passengers like her. Immediately she entered the bus, she became senseless, voiceless and powerless but could see what was going on around her. When the bus got to the bus-stop where she should have alighted, the driver continued on the journey of his mission with his men.
           When they got to the next bus-stop, another four men and two women boarded the bus, then the journey continued. On getting to the third bus-stop, two women boarded the same bus in question making five women altogether in the bus. The same thing happened to the women by becoming senseless, voiceless and inactive while the charm did not have any effect on the four men because they were armed robbers but pretended as if they were also charmed. This was how the dreadful journey started proper by heading into
the wilderness where their major mission would be accomplished. The driver drove forty-five kilometres away from the last bus-stop before he swerved into the bush where the ritualist had been seriously waiting for them. Unknowingly to these agents of devil, these four men had guns on them kept in a hidden place because initially they were also going on their ugly operation before being interrupted by the kidnappers so they wanted to see the end of it all.
            After driving fifteen kilometres away from the main road into the wilderness, they got to their destination and the driver brought the bus into a halt. In the course of the journey, nobody could utter a word because one of the kidnappers was pointing a loaded gun at them whereas the armed robbers had signalled to themselves on how they would deal with the kidnappers. The driver and the two men asked them to come down from the bus which they aligned. Immediately they alighted from the bus, the passengers came back to their senses while the women among them started crying for their lives. Everywhere was very dark, nobody could run in the presence of gun. In this thick forest, a house was built at the extreme end of the road as a close with only an opening at the back and no other houses could be seen around this vicinity.
After they had all alighted, the driver called somebody on phone that they were around and there was no cause for any alarm. Few minutes later, a tall and heavily muscled man with a skinned head tied only a red wrapper round his waist emerged from the odd building. He shook hands with the driver three times and normally greeted the other two men. Pointing at the passengers, "are they our meats?"The ritualist asked the driver! "Yes!" The driver hurriedly answered! "How many are they?" the ritualist asked. They are nine in number! The driver answered. The ritualist brought out a charm and put it on their head one after the other with the hope that he had tamed them but this charm did not have any effect on them and they all pretended as if they were charmed.The ritualist said "he would be right back" He went into the building and after few minutes, he returned with a big bag full of money and gave it to the driver for their devilish work.
             As the driver and his men were about to take their leave, the armed robbers signalled to themselves, brought out their guns and shot the driver, his men and the ritualist dead at the spot. The other passengers were seriously frightened but the armed robbers told them not to be panicked and promised to help them out of the wilderness. They, armed robbers, said they were not interested in their "blood money" and asked if there was anybody interested in the ill-gotten money but they all said no and eager to leave the place in a jiffy before the arrival of the other ritualists. One of the armed robbers in a company of the rest drove them back to the main road, parked the bus by the roadside and told them to find their ways. This is how they were rescued.

Ruth Oshondu was the only child born to her poor parents, Mr. and Mrs. Oshondu. The family was so poor that hardly provided food and clothong for Ruth. The family was wallowing in abject poverty and therefore could not afford to send Ruth to school early in her life. The family was later helped by Mr. Oshondu's childhood friend who volunteered to sponsor Ruth to school.
Ruth was registered in a nursery school very near her parent's house. Her father's friend,Mr. Collins sponsored her education right from nursery school trhough secondary school. Unfortunately, while in secondary school, Ruth joined a group of friends who came from rich families. She was keeping the company of these spoilt children from rich homes while forgetting her poor background. In a short while, Ruth realised that her parents could not afford to get her the kind of things her friend had. In her quest to live up to the standard of her rich friends, she decided to steal. Initially, she began to steal money from her classmates' bags. Before too long, she began to steal from her teachers' handbags and later became a 'professional' thief who can pilfer light out of daylight.
After a while, Ruth began wearing clothes made by the latest designers and, in most cases, this entered her head and she started disrespecting her teachers and elders. All this while, her parents were too busy working to earn a living by farming. However, they started noticing all the make-up their daughter was applying and how snobbishand disrespectful she had become. They knew that something was wrong. Her mother searched her room and found all sorts of expensive clothes. Ruth's parents decided to question her to find out where she had got all the things found in her room. She got angry with her mother and left the house. She wondered why she should be questioned that way and out of annoyance, she decided to leave her parents' home for her friends.
One fateful day, Ruth was in need of a beautiful and expensive dress to wear to a party which she had agreed to attend with her boyfriend. She had no money, and so, she decided to steal one expensive and colourful dress she had seen at a big shop. She got ready on this day and she went. On getting into the shop, she looked around for the dress. She stealthily walked to where the dress was hung, picked it up and put it her bag hurriedly. After doing this, she thought nobody had seen her and she made for the exit door.
At the door, a security man was always there to check people leaving the shop. He had seen Ruth picking up the dress but he was not sure whether she had paid for it. As Ruth was about to go out of the shop, the security man accosted her and demanded to search her bag. Ruth was found out and after she was beaten mercilessly and the stolen dress collected from her, she was taken to a juvenile home where teenage offenders are kept.
Ruth's friends were nowhere to be seen. Her parents had to go to the juvenile home to see her when the news of her arrest and detention reached them. As Ruth saw her parents, poorly clad in their wretchedness, she burst into tears. Her mother said to her "Ruth, if only you had cut your coat according to your cloth, you wouldn't be here now".
