NARROW ESCAPE
Kofi Ansah: Welcome back my cherished listeners and viewers watching across all social media handles. My special guest for tonight is Captain Kwame Adjei and before I went on that short commercial break, he was about to tell us the unfortunate or unexpected thing that happened the morning that he came to meet another man sharing his bed with his wife. Captain Adjei please what was this unfortunate thing that happened?
Captain Adjei: My brother, as the guy pounced on me, he came to fall flat on me and not knowing as he jumped, he landed on the blade of the pocketknife and it pierced straight into his chest and right into his heart. I was surprised he was lying on me and not making any effort to fight me so I pushed him aside and that was when I realised that the guy had the pocketknife rooted deep in his chest and he was dead. When my wife saw this she started screaming on top of her voice that I had killed the guy and at that moment I got myself so confused that I didn’t know what to do. For close to five minutes I stood right at the spot that the guy was lying lifeless and my body was trembling with fear because I never had any intention to take the life of another fellow, all I did was to defend myself from the guy’s attack and now I had stained my hands with his blood. I summoned courage and rushed to the washroom and washed the blood from my hand and applied methylated spirit on my wound as I covered it with a bandage in the first aid box. I came back to the bedroom to change myself and I realised my wife had run out of the bedroom before I came back from the washroom but she was the least of my problem at that very moment. I changed myself into a polo shirt and wore a jeans trouser then I stepped out of the house with the intention of going to the police station to lodge a formal complaint but as I stepped out of my house and sat in my car, something was talking to me to run out of the country because this matter would not auger well for me. I got down from the car and went back to the house and went to the bedroom to search through the guy’s dress to see if I could get any information about him. When I searched through his pocket I saw a wallet and when I went through it, I realised he was the son of the CDS.
Kofi Ansah: No let me cut in Captain, how did you know he was the son of the then CDS?
Captain Adjei: My brother in his wallet he had a small group picture of himself, his mom and dad when he graduated from the aviation school and apart from that, I saw his complimentary cards with the same name of his father but JUNIOR was attached to his name. I had read about the CDS and I knew he had only a child and that was the guy who was lying on the floor in my bedroom dead. I went to my bar and took a bottle of whiskey and started gulping it down my throat, I went to my study and brought out my passport and I flipped through it to check on the visas well pasted in my passport. My visa to Germany was left with a month to expire, that of United Kingdom had three more years before it would expire and that of South Africa was six months away before expiring. I opened my small safe and I had about two thousand four hundred dollars, eight hundred and fifty pounds sterling and a few cedis in there. I sat for a while to think of the country to travel to because I didn’t want my cover to be blown if I managed to travel outside the country. All the three foreign countries had their security system to be solid and in no time the Interpol will come after me. I remembered I came across a South African lady who was willing to accommodate me anytime I travel to South Africa so I called her telephone line immediately but the answering machine was answering my calls demanding for me to leave behind a voicemail after trying the number like five times I gave up. I then took the telephone directory and I called the Ghana Airways customer care to see if I could get a plane ticket for a flight leaving to South Africa. As the person who spoke to me on the telephone went through their database I was informed that the flight available was going to take off the next day at 1am, I told the lady I spoke on the phone to make reservation for me but she advised if I was in a hurry I could call some other airlines and see maybe they might have some empty seats on their plane and that some transit planes could fly in about an hours time so I should try my luck there also. She told me if I don’t get a seat booked on my behalf I could call her back and she will get a first class ticket for me at the economy class price, I thanked her and ended the call. I called all the airlines that were to operate that day but none had any empty seat available, looking at the time too that Ghana Airways was going to taxi off the tarmac, police will be all over the place looking for me. I decided to put my destiny into my hands so I called the police headquarters and reported the case to them and gave them the directions to my house, after the call I left the study with my whiskey bottle in my hand and went to sit at the porch of my house waiting for the police officers to come over to my house for the body lying in my bedroom. About 20minutes later, I saw a taxi driving at a top speed approaching my house and when it got to my gate it stopped and two police officers stepped out of the car carrying AK47 rifles in their hands, my wife pointed at me the moment they stepped in my compound screaming “that is the murderer who murdered my fiancée”. I smiled as I heard those words escaping her lips, I knew she had gone to report me to the police and they were in to arrest me, I gulped a large portion of the whiskey in my hand into my throat again and gave a hurting sound out. One of the officers approached me and told me I was under arrest for murdering someone and as professional as he was, he read my rights to me and requested I give him my hands so he handcuffs me. I looked at him gave a loud laughter and told him I would go with him to the station but not in handcuffs because I wasn’t going to resist arrest from them. My statement didn’t go down well for the other officer and he immediately cocked his AK47 and ordered me to get to my feet before he handles me in a way I won’t like. His words made me angry so I jumped to my feet and smashed the whiskey bottle on the floor and asked him if he by chance knew who he was trying to throw his weight on? The officer who spoke first immediately held my hand and pushed me to the wall as he tried to bring his handcuff out from his pocket but I was then struggling with him. The other officer who cocked the gun at me had by then moved closer and he hit the back of my neck with the back of the AK47 gun he was holding. I fell and that was when they got the chance to handcuff me on the floor, I heard the wailing of a siren approaching. In a few minutes time the police land rover car stopped in front of my house and some police officers entered my house armed to the teeth. The chief inspector who led the police team asked if this was the house of one Captain Kwame Adjei and I responded the affirmative way, immediately I did the first two police officers looked at each other and asked if I was a service man? I nodded my head in pain and they all turned their eyes on my wife who had gone to report me to them and said awful things about me at their police station. The chief inspector ordered them to take the handcuffs off my wrist which the officer did immediately. He further asked where the body of the guy I was involved in the horrific battle was and I directed them to my bedroom. In no time some pressmen rushed into my house and started taking pictures of me. The police officers tried to prevent them from coming any further so they were all pushed out of my compound, the chief inspector had with him some homicide detectives so they immediately went to work and took pictures of the scene and labeled the place a crime scene, no one apart from authorised people will be allowed to enter my bedroom for the time being until they were done with their investigations and my house was going to be under strict surveillance watch by some police officers who were placed on 24hour guard duty. They invited over an ambulance from the police hospital to convey the corpse from the house to the police hospital mortuary for autopsy and run further investigations. At the end, the fact that I phoned to invite them in didn’t mean I was going to be set free that moment, the chief inspector explained to me that they would have to take me along to the police headquarters and take down my statement so we know the way forward and I gladly obliged to what he said because I had a fair idea how this kind of formalities worked. As I was been escorted outside the journalist went to work as they took shots of me being escorted into one of the land rover cars the police came with.
