A NARRATIVE THAT TEACHES
This scary incident is not a Nollywood script, it happened some months ago.
Timmy, is a bubbly young man, who is preparing to become an undergraduate. He's the son of a single mother who lives in the US. Timmy's mother ensures he lacks nothing, she sends him pocket money every month, clothes, phones and even a laptop. Whatever Timmy needs his mother sends.
Timmy, stays with his grandmother whom people believe to be a witch.
Timmy's grandmother is a landlady, if you move into her house as a rich man, you will move out as a poor man, begging for food to eat. It's so bad that even house agents don't take their clients to her building. So because of that her building is always empty.
Timmy, has a best friend called Precious. They are the typical definition of bromance. Anywhere you see Timmy, you will see Precious. They practically live together. Precious has access to Timmy belongings and money.
There's nothing Timmy wouldn't do for Precious. But that isn't the case for Precious, who bears a heavy grudge in his heart against Timmy. He was just waiting for the right time to unleash. Unfortunately for Timmy the right time came for Precious.
They were all hanging out as a friend's house when suddenly a phone went missing. Immediately Precious said he saw Timmy with the phone, since they are best friends everybody believed Precious. Timmy was shocked. How can his best friend accuse him of something he didn't do.
Precious, insisted that it was Timmy that took the phone,that he saw him take it. Immediately things escalated and they started beating Timmy.
They dragged him to his grandmother's house and reported the incident to her.
Instead of her to beg them and maybe call her daughter, Timmy's mother, so she can send some money to replace the stolen phone. Rather than do that, she chased them away and told them to do whatever they liked with him, that it is none of her business. Wrong move, that was the last time she saw her grandson alive.
They decided to take Timmy, to the police station on their way to the police station they ran into some area boys that decided to settle the issue in their own way. The thing is this area boys all knew Timmy. He has been good to them in the past that is why nobody understands why they could carry out jungle justice against him without verifying if he actually stole the phone or not.
That was how they started beating Timmy, until he passed out they thought maybe he just fainted they carried him and dumped him in front of his grandmother's house. Neighbors took him to the hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Meanwhile the phone is still missing, despite all the beatings Timmy received he still insisted on not knowing anything about the phone.
Now that Timmy is dead precious cannot go back to Timmy's place to stay so he decided to stay with another friend on the same Street.
Now that Timmy is dead precious cannot go back to Timmy's place to stay so he decided to stay with another friend on the same Street.
Around 2:00 a.m. someone started screaming.'' I took the phone, I took the phone, please don't kill me I will confess''.
The person started screaming and running down the street, people started coming out to see what was happening. Behold it was Precious screaming down the street like a mad man. They now told him to calm down and explain what is going on.
Precious, started confessing. He said Timmy snatched his girlfriend and that got him very angry, he said Timmy felt because he has money he can do whatever he wants and take whatever he wants. He said he started plotting against Timmy, because Timmy saw nothing wrong in what he did instead of him to apologize after sleeping with his girlfriend he just laughed over it like it was nothing.
Precious said his plan was to embarrass Timmy and not to get him killed. He said they should help him beg Timmy that he didn't mean to get him killed. That Timmy is chasing him with a knife.
Timmy's mother petitioned the commissioner of police. The police came with their van and arrested everyone involved, that was how 2 teenage boys wasted their lives for nothing.
What a sad and heartbreaking story 😭
ReplyDeleteWow. Enders shall never wond 😭
ReplyDeleteKai! People are mean these days, especially your so called friends.
ReplyDeletethat precious of a boy is terrible and deserve to die. Timmy grandmother is wicked than anything and she deserve to die. Why did his mother left him with his grandmother for so long without coming to take her son away? are you saying she is not hearing the gist of how people become nothing once they moved into her mother's house? I pray that God comfort her.
ReplyDeleteIf you have sons please pray for them seriously, i noticed men have this problem a lot, especially if the friendship is between people from backgrounds with imbalanced financial standings.
ReplyDeleteWhen i was a law student, we once did a courtesy visit to the prison, we saw a particular prisoner in the vip section, this young handsome man had killed his friend.
The friend was from a very rich and famous background, so one day his dad gave him 3million naira capital to add to his business. (at that time it was plenty money, dollar was less than 100 naira then)
He had a best friend with whom they were inseparable. The rich friend showed him the money and told him the purpose of the funds, and they both decided to hide it in the trunk of the car.
Unknown to the rich friend the other one had gotten envious and started plotting immediately.
One day the other friend lured him with a trip, and told him he was escorting him to a wedding Fatiha out of state, he came came home and picked him up, they drove in rich friend’s car with the money in the trunk, till they were somewhere between Yobe and Borno state, all the way from kano state. He made them do a quick stop in the middle of no where, the evil friend lured the rich friend out of the car and hit him with a rock on the head, he fell to the ground and the evil friend reversed the car and ran him over, thereby smashing his head, then dug a shallow grave and buried him there.
He had the impetus to return the car, but without the money. After his disappearance and search, it was the security guard that later told his employers that the last time their son went out was with that friend, which was a very normal thing cos that was his second home too. That was how investigation started, he denied everything till they finally got a hint and arrested him. Till we saw him in prison he was denying his involvement.
The parents only had one wish, they begged to be shown their son’s grave so that he would be given a decent burial. I think he finally agreed to take them there.
This isn’t the only one, if u search on the internet, it happened very recently in Abuja, some secondary school boys lured a friend to an outdoor swimming pool and drowned him. Just after that incident, in the same abuja, same thing happened again, i think you can find these incidents on the internet. Pls boy mothers pray for ur sons well, when men are envious, they don’t just hate, they kill.
May God protect us and our loved ones. Amin.
It's the part the grandma played that I still don't get.
ReplyDeleteTimmy, I pray you are resting in peace, against the injustice.
Wickedness.
ReplyDeleteThe so called friend
Grandmother, who drops a child under your care in such a state and you wave it off... one does not need to fly at night to actually be tagged a witch... until neighbors took your own grandchild to the hospital...
What a tragic end
What a horrible story.
ReplyDeleteThat is the type of genz we have now ,they can take live without any remorse or what can one say of yahoo plus ?those using jazz to fraud people.May the good Lord protect and preserve us all
ReplyDeleteOh my God 😭😭😭
ReplyDeleteThis is so sa.d. so many horri.ble people like precious in our society today.
ReplyDeleteThe grandma is evil.. what??
ReplyDeleteVery evil
DeleteThe heart of man is truly wicked.
ReplyDeleteNa the grandma part pain me pass for the story.
ReplyDeleteWhat a world we live in.....
ReplyDeleteThe grandmother is a horrible witch .
ReplyDeleteThis all came from being quick to jump to judgement without getting the details. Even the Bible says three witnesses are needed to bring an accusation against someone.
ReplyDeletePeople are too heated and ready to draw blood. Even if he did steal the phone is the act deserving of death? NO. It’s just a damn phone, not life.
This is so sad
ReplyDeleteWhat a tragic story 😞. But the area boys, how come they did not rescue Timmy from those that were beating him? And also the grandma, how come she watched as her grandson was being beaten and taken away and she could not do anything? God abeg🤦🏿
ReplyDeleteShe likely was resentful that Timmy was spoiled by his mother. She probably felt the mother should send her all the money directly and she would dispense it to Timmy as she saw fit. Either that or she is suffering from some kind of dementia, or Timmy was being rude and disrespectful to her. Whatever the case, Timmy had nobody in the end. Many of us think we have ppl who would go above and beyond for us, but do we really? It is only in hard times and tragic circumstance that we know who really is for us. A change in fortune, either up or down is all it takes to see who is for us.
