Chapter One
  It was 9:30 pm and she couldn’t understand why the traffic was outrageous tonight. She recalled that people went shopping on Friday nights. This was the reality of Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) of Nigeria. Most of the workers who couldn’t afford living within the city resided on the outskirts of town. Janet Adeniran was a banker and a widow with two children. She was 41 years old and well paid because she was an accountant at one of the leading banks in the country. She was blessed with a boy and girl. Caroline was the youngest and a dazzling beauty. Kevin was studying Civil Engineering at Federal University of Technology (FUT) Minna. Janet Adeniran was the daughter of a Nigerian diplomat who had gone to work in Ethiopia and ended up marrying her mother, an Ethiopian. Janet was widowed during a bank robbery at the bank where her husband worked. Janet will be arriving home soon and the digital clock in her car told her the time was 10:18pm. She was comp

Chapter Two
  The moment he stepped out of his SUV, the first breath he took in told him the atmosphere around the house had recently been visited by death. There were more than half a dozen police cars parked around the Adeniran’s residence and the forensic team were already turning the house upside down looking for any clues left behind. He knew the corpse of Caroline Adeniran was still lying where her mother had found it, because he had phoned ahead instructing the lead inspector at the murder scene to leave the body the way it had been found.Officer Muhammad Guni of the States Security Service (SSS) shut the door of his car and dragged his 6ft2 inch stature towards the entrance of the house. Muhammad was dark in complexion and built like a boxer with a bearded square face, protruding eyes and an upturned nose. He was a widower who had lost his wife to cancer five years ago. He was 40 years old and an indigene of Niger State. All he had after the death of his wife was his job and fami

Chapter Three
 It was now three weeks after the murder of Caroline and he had been staring up at the ceiling in his office for hours. Muhammad was seated behind his desk with his brain and mind at work. It was a Monday morning. He had gone back to the Adeniran’s residence a day after Caroline was murdered. Luckily, he had met Caroline’s brother. He also met both Mrs. Adeniran’s parents and the parents of the late Mr. Adeniran. He had personally questioned them but ended up leaving the house with nothing substantial.From what he had seen and found out about Caroline’s family, none of them had anything to do with her death, either directly or indirectly. Time was his enemy because the longer he took in solving the case, the more the possibility of another family experiencing what the Adenirans are currently going through. Caroline’s death was the first murder The First One has committed since he took over the case. Muhammad stood up; he needed to visit the previous crime scenes. He needed

Chapter Five
 The moment Muhammad stepped into the forensic department, he saw the head of the department shutting the door of his office. Muhammad knew he was lucky because Mr. Jackson Olabode was a very busy man. “One day you’ll drop dead and the autopsy result will be workaholism,” Muhammad said standing behind Jackson.“Better than dying by a bomb or a bullet to the head,” Jackson replied with a smile. Jackson was a smallish man. At the age of 55 he had never been married and most people believe he was a bachelor for life. Jackson was simply a careerist.Muhammad had first met Jackson at the academy where he had delivered a lecture on forensic pathology. Unlike the other officers, Muhammad had a good relationship with Jackson because the elderly man had a natural fondness for him.“I need to see the car in which the first victim was found,” Muhammad said.“I personally delivered my report on the first victim to your department. Everything you need is in that report,” Jackson repl

Chapter Six
 Muhammad had spent the last hour going through the car without a positive outcome. The victim had been found lying on the backseat of her car with her eyes wide open and just like the others, she had not been raped. Margaret Soludo had been mutilated beyond recognition and it had taken them three days to establish her identity. The car was a brand new silver Toyota Venza and no fingerprint had been found. Not a clue was left behind by the killer. “Dr. Margaret Soludo had not been murdered in her car. She was murdered somewhere else and her corpse was dumped in her car that was the only reason there was no clue left behind,” Muhammad said to himself. It was the only reasonable theory he could come up with. From Jackson’s autopsy report, there had been no struggle. The victims were all unconscious when the coward performed their rituals on them.Muhammad couldn’t believe he was exiting the forensic department the same way he walked into it, with nothing substantial to show

Chapter Seven
  It was 3:45pm when he got back to the HQ of the SSS. The HQ was one of the best and well-equipped federal facilities in the country. It was made up of buildings that were built to withstand various natural disasters and ballistics attacks. It was guarded by armed security personnel 24/7/365. It was operated by modern technology. The HQ was also one of the most expensive facilities in the country and it was located close to the presidential villa. The SSS HQ was a fortress.Muhammad had a progress analysis briefing with his boss, the Director of the Department of Intelligence (DI). He was not ready for the meeting but he had no choice but to attend it. His boss hated theories and loved results but right now all he had were theories. The director of the DI had a reputation of being a butcher because he had a habit of kicking officers with below average out of his department. Below average in the butcher’s dictionary was a success rate of less than 90%. Muhammad knew he should

Chapter Eight
The meeting was coming to an end and he was zonked out. Muhammad had been expecting the worst but what he had not been expecting was walking into an office occupied by the Inspector General of Police (IGP), the Defense Minister and last but not the least, his boss. He thought his boss was bad enough but with two deputies, he couldn’t have asked for a more tormenting triad. Monday had no doubt lived up to its reputation. The SSS never abandoned their traditions of not playing a role in politics and not fully accepting the legacies of the police but the president has insisted all security agencies unite and work together in sending thE rising doom known as The First One back to hell where he belonged. The moment Muhammad stepped into the office, the look on the face of Mr. Lawrence Esson told him there was no fire burning but volcano erupting on a mountain. At that moment, Muhammad knew that his time was running out and if he failed to beat the deadline his boss has given him, he was

Earlier Muhammad discovered the victim had been personally hired by the MD.The friend of the late Salamatu had found her friend’s car parked under a deserted flyover on her way home from work. She stopped to find out what the problem might be and instead ended up finding her friend lying dead in the pool of her blood. The difference between the murder of the late Salamatu and the other victims was that this time, the killer had taken less precaution in committing the murder because the crime had been committed at the place where the corpse had been f

Chapter Ten
 Muhammad was awakened by the ringtone of his mobile phone. He checked his bedside alarm clock, it was 2:30am. He had been asleep for just one and a half hours but it felt like he had just closed his eyes and opened them. He reached for the phone and checked the screen but it was a strange number. He hit the answer button. “I’m sorry for calling at this time of the day but I can’t get some sleep. I think I’ve something you might want to hear. It might just sound a little silly but I don’t know if it could be of help to you regarding your investigation,” the feminine voice said.Muhammad realized it was Dr. Maryam Farouk who was the more matured one among the friends of the late Dr. Salamatu.“I’m fine with you calling me at any hour of the day. Are you going to work later in the day?” Muhammad asked.“The hospital gave us the week off,” Maryam replied.“I’ll be at the house at daybreak or can you tell me what’s on your mind right now?” Muhammad asked.“Don’t worry, it can

 Muhammad parked on the driveway leading to the gate of the large garage of the house. The four doctors lived at Asokoro metropolis. It was a quiet location in Abuja because most of the occupants there were top government officials or business tycoons.Muhammad looked around the quiet street and he still could not find the police patrol car he had ordered to keep an eye on the house. He radioed the SSS headquarters and ordered the control room to check in with the police and find out if the patrol car was dispatched like he ordered. Muhammad knocked on the gate several times and felt like his knuckles were going to crack. He brought out his phone and dialed Maryam’s number. Adrenaline was already at work and he could feel his heartbeat accelerating.After three 5 dials, no one answered the call. Muhammad decided to climb the large gate but the problem was there were sharp spikes at the top of the gate. He decided to try the fence and found out the gate was a better option beca
