The empty and silent street has been disturb by the sound of gunshots. The once peaceful and quiet street of Obalende became a danger zone. The two cultist group clashed against each other leaving lots of dead bodies at their wake.

The people of that once peaceful community became terrified -- not knowing what danger could occur next. The chief of police dared not intervene. He had been warned by the leaders of both cult group to stay clear from the issue or have himself to blame for the death of his family.

Funny how that sounds, a chief of police been threatened by a bunch of criminals. But that was what it was, the community was that corrupt. And after one of his police cars got destroyed by the thugs, he decided to take their threats serious..

And so the terror continued. Boys of young ages killing themselves. The reason for their act unknown to everyone except for two men.

Chief Bidemi and Chief Osas were politicians of two opposing parties -- two sworn enemies. Both had won the slot to run for president for their party and they felt it was right to clash against themselves to show who is superior. Giving young boys a few penny to go endanger their lives for them, all to prove nothing.

There's a saying that every name has it's meaning, every action it's reaction. He who had said politics was a dirty game knew what he saw before saying that. And politics was indeed a dirty game.
