Krugger Battle Anozie Thomas

Publisher Marketing: "The banality of ritual killings birthed the Krugger Battle, "The Nigerian Metaphor" ." Dele Oscar was flummoxed when the man he almost crushed with his Mercedes Jeep refused to be taken to the hospital on the bizarre reason that he would be killed. Insisting to know who will kill him at the hospital and why only fetched a more confounding response from the man; "The man with a Lexus Jeep trailing me before I lost control and rammed my motorbike into your car. You won't understand now, but when you hear my story you will. Just take me to your house." Confused about the strange response but interested in the story the man wished to tell, he took him to his doctor friend, Dr. Zak, who took care before he finally took him to his house. Then he called his business partner and confidant, Aminu Sabo, to join him and listen to the story. Poka, the man in the centre of the storm, told the story. His story, the labyrinth of ritual killings, secret cults and the actors. Taken aback by the chilling story and being prime witnesses to ritual killings earlier in their lives, Dele and Aminu could not but hatch a plan to confront this debilitating societal ill. Watching the outwitting of lions by a herd of buffalos in a battle that took place in Paul Krugger National Park in South Africa, filliped their zest and fired the ember of their courage as they confront the blighting phenomenon of ritual killings in Nigeria. But, would they be able to extinguish the ember of ritual killings that has ensured the cyber level of crime and corruption in Nigeria?
