Tracking Down Annahs Azuree: the syndicate – Episode II

The driver looked at him strangely as he drove off shaking his head.

“Good gracious! This young man nearly messed up everything for me this morning.”

He was still in wonder when he received a call from a team member.

“Where are you now?”

“An incident just happened, so I had to alight in Sokode.”

“Sokode! What happened?”

“Don’t worry, I will be fine and I will keep you posted,” he assured Manas his friend.

“The commander called and said you should be very careful because they have picked up some information that some of the police officers are in bed with the cocaine barons. This makes our work super difficult.”

He took a taxi from Sokode and moved straight to the station so he could board an Aflao-bound vehicle. “I must reach Badagry before dusk. It’s not funny anymore. Now that the foes are multiplying, caution and vigilance have to increase.”

On reaching the station, he spotted the driver who carried him from Accra but decided to avoid him.

“Should I take the hire car or the minibus? What if the police on the other side also send men after me.”

As he contemplated, he decided to take the hiring car since he will arrive in Aflao faster that way.

On reaching Dzodze, he received a text indicating that a counter police team had mounted up a check at Tokor and since they might identify him, it will be suicidal to move to Aflao. Immediately, he decided to go into Togo through the Segbe Border.

When he got to the counter of the immigration service, the officer on duty was half asleep so he did not even check his passport or ask any question. The Officers on the Togo side rather asked too many questions but he was so friendly with them that they let him go.

Meanwhile, the officers at the Tokor barrier had stopped his car and enquired if anyone got down earlier. The driver responded in the affirmative but was unable to tell them the destination of the passenger.

“You are under arrest,” the police officer said to the driver.

“For what offense?” the man sitting in front quizzed.

“For dropping a criminal off before a major checkpoint.” The driver burst out into laughter.

“How the heck am I supposed to know that he is a criminal? I am a man doing a decent job, and I have been doing it for ten years now. If you don’t want to be dismissed from the police service, you better let us go.” Eventually, reason prevailed and they let them go.

“What nonsense was that?” a passenger asked.

Anaahs decided that instead of taking a Taxi to the main Togo border where he can get a car going to Nigeria, he would rather go by a motor bike. He thought to himself, “you may never know and you never can tell.”

If not for the swiftness of his motorbike rider, he would have ended up taking the same vehicle with one of the drug barons, the kingpin of the cocaine syndicate, who was also leaving Ghana for Nigeria.

It was a narrow escape for Anaahs. His car had just left for the Benin border when Yaovi arrived.

The controversy surrounding the whole cocaine deal was still making headlines when the two most wanted men had just left the country. Anaahs Azuree was wanted by the cocaine syndicate and their corrupt police officers, while Yaovi and his men were wanted by the police and the nation as a whole.

The cocaine scandal has assumed national prominence as major radio and tv stations were busy discussing it. The government of the day was also trying their best to clear their name since some government officials were being accused of having a hand in the whole scandal.

The country’s ranking has just plunged downward on the drug trafficking index – the current scandal now adding more insult to injury.

“This is not good for us,” the interior minister told his colleagues as they got ready to address the nation.

“Fellow Ghanaians, we have a common enemy. Crime of any form, shade, or size should not be given any party affiliation. Let’s call crime what it is and desist from the name callings. This will derail our collective efforts and rather divide us. Right now, I can state categorically that the men involved have still not been captured and our dutiful police officers are doing their best to make some arrests. We will keep you updated on the latest news regarding this issue. We promise to be truthful to you. God bless our homeland Ghana.”
