The Adventures Of Oko Ashawo The Uber Driver - 48

Something shocking happened to me on Monday and my heart stood in my mouth ready to jump out!!!

It was an uneventful day and I spent most of the day at the mechanic workshop doing some repairs on my car.

 I sulked over the amount that I spent on repairs and decided to go home since I wasn’t feeling too well. it was 7pm and restriction of movement starts by 8pm. It was dark already when I got to the junction that leads to my house and I stopped to buy bread and some groceries from a shop there. As I stepped back into the car to drive home, I saw some people running towards me led by a lady. 

I didn’t think too much of it and all I wanted was to quickly get home, eat and rest my head. The next thing that happened shocked me to my marrows. The lady stopped in front of my car, pointed at me and said that I am the one. 

 I was confused.

People had started gathering around my car and I was asked to come out. All the things I had done wrong in my life started appearing to me in a flash.

 I wondered who I had offended. One of the things that came to my mind also was that the troublesome girl I refused to have a relationship with was out to get back at me. I took a good look at the girl that pointed at me and could not recognize her at all. The people that had gathered were talking in loud tones and I could not really decipher what they were saying. 

One guy asked the girl if she was sure I am the one and she answered in the affirmative. Haaaa… mogbe. 

As one of the guys made to drag me out of the car, I told them to relax, calm down and explain what was going on to me cos i was very confused. I was just praying to God to give me the wisdom to handle the situation and kept telling myself to calm down because I was really agitated and my heart was already in my mouth. 

The lady then said that I am the one that hit her car a few minutes back and I didn’t have the courtesy to wait to look at the damage and seek a peaceful resolution. Immediately, I heaved a sigh of relief, calmed down and told them I have not had any such encounter that evening and asked them to inspect my car if it looked like one that had just been involved in an accident. 

There was palpable confusion in the air as my car was checked and there was nothing to indicate that I just hit another car. According to the people that came with the lady, the car that hit hers also has his headlights broken because of the impact but mine was intact so it couldn’t be me. The lady bit her finger in despair and put her hand on her head. I quietly slid into my car and drove off with my heart still beating very fast. 

I couldn’t help but thank God for his deliverance that night. More so, I didn’t feel unwell again wondering where the sudden burst of strength came from. Na so dem for pour accusation for person head on top wetin he no do. 

Now, I can now relate with how people feel when they are accused wrongly especially those in prison.
