The Return Of ijele - Episode 3
“Yes Ijele in flesh!”
Ijele chuckled.
“What’s the matter Uzo my friend?”
He stressed the word friend.
“Won’t you say hello to he who’s back from the dead?”
Uzodinma was confused and frightened. This was Ijele, the man he and Obi had killed this afternoon. How could it be that a dead man was standing in the middle of the road?
“Y-you are dead!”
Ijele burst out laughing, then stopped. His expression turned deathly cold.
“How boring”,
He retorted.
“Can’t you think of something else to say?”
He gazed intently at Uzodinma.
“That was the same thing Obi said”,
A pause, “Before I killed him”,
Realizing he was in grave danger, Uzodinma thought of escape, but sharp iron nails surrounded him. Any step would leave him with three or more nails buried deep in his feet, unless he tiptoed. He took a couple of steps, but Ijele sensed what he was trying to do, slowly, methodically, Ijele reached for the knife in his pocket and threw it at Uzodinma. It hit him in the middle of his forehead

. Uzodinma halted, arms outstretched he stood fixed in that position for a few seconds; the torchlight fell from his hand to the ground and shattered, then he collapsed on a bed of iron nails, dead.
Ijele tiptoed around the nail trap he had set retrieved his knife, and walked past the dead body towards Umuego from where Uzodinma was returning. He had two more people to visit, and his job would be done.
