PLEASE FOLLOW THIS STORY.... I BRING TO YOU.... *OKPOTO DAY OF DEATH* DICING WITH DEATH(EPISODE 1) I WAS born on 12th April, 1952. I died twenty-years ago on 26th December, 1993. I was killed by armed-robbers on the way from Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos. My wife was coming back from a trip to the United States and I went to the airport with six- year-old Femi-Kevin to meet her. She had two major pieces of luggage. I put one in the boot and the other in the back- seat of our car. It was around 07:30pm in the evening, and we set out for home. Soon, a car overtook us with some people who were shouting at us for some inexplicable reason. I paid little attention to them. It is commonplace in Lagos for some driver to be upset with you for some reason or the other. But no sooner had they overtaken us than they swerved and blocked the road with their car. Immediately, some men jumped out menacingly. ***Dicing with death From that moment, everything became surreal. Indeed, everything switched to slow- motion. I slammed on the brakes and the car stopped. I switched to reverse-gear and the car moved back. Our assailants were banking on the element of surprise, but my prompt reactions upstaged them. Having reversed the car, I again brought it to a stop. In front of us on the road were four armed men. . . . . . *The suspects on parade I had always foolishly believed in myself. I regarded myself as a problem-solver. True, this was a rather bigger problem than I had had to deal with before. This particular one was a question of life and death. But it was a problem nevertheless. Therefore, I decided to try and address it like any other problem. First; I needed to make a quick decision. I had to decide whether to continue to reverse the car; or go forward or just surrender. I seemed to have all the time in the world to make this split- second decision. Finally, I decided on a foolhardy course of no retreat ....... WHAT NEXT??? THE STORY HAS JUST BEGUN WATCH OUT FOR EPISODE 2 (THE SUSPECTS ON PARADE)
