Iya ifeoma was bleeding.

-my friend stand up from there, Deaconess Grace shouted. Is it this small push you are lying down like dead cow. Orobo. C'mon stand up from there.

A neighbour shouted.

-Deaconess, you no dey see blood?

Yeeee, jesu, ore, iya ifeoma, (no answer. she moved her to the side and saw blood gushing from her head) Yeeeeeeee!!! She screamed. Eje le eleyi, (this is blood) Eje le eleyi ooo oooo( this is blood ooooo) abi shey menses? ( or is it mensuration?) Brother, may be it is  mensuration.

- Shut up, one of the people there shouted. Who dey see menses with head? You don burst person head o.

People where shouting, commotion everywhere.  People where videoing and snapping. Iya ifeoma's husband came to the scene. He rushed to his wife and found out she was still breathing.

- She is breathing. Somebody help me. Hospital, Hospital. Chinyere you will not kill me in this Lagos. Chinyere stay away from this woman you refused. God please save me. ( Deaconess grace interrupted)

- baba ifeoma, I can pray for her o. If she is dead, I have the anointing to pray for the dead.

(Heeeeeeeeey, people shouted)

-Is you that will die. That prayer should be for yourself o. Just pray nothing happens to my wife. Agwam GI nam wu nwafo Igbo( I will tell you I'm an Igbo man) Deaconess aruruala (wicked Deaconess) I am coming back for you.

- back to sender. When she was running  that her Emo (guinea pig) mouth she did not remember she will break her head? I did not fall her o. I just push her o.

She was still running her mouth when, IFEOMA AND HER BROTHER EDDY came to the scene. Ifeoma bounced on DEACONESS.

- what have you done to my mother?

-look at the girl o! If you touch me again, I will use my anointed hand on you. Was it not your mother's fault. Small push she fly to sabongari. Her mouth will kill o. Calling me DEACONESS JOHN CENA. ORE LATI DUSTBIN. (ifeoma slapped her, she slapped back. Eddy rushed out and rushed in with a bowl in his hands. People where trying to separate them when Eddy poured the substance on DEACONESS grace face and took off)

- yeeeeeeee!!! ,oju mi oooo ooooo, Jesu, oju mi, yeeeeeeeee!!! Ata apaadi INA to win oju mi. (Hell fire pepper has entered my eyes) .father, I can never be blind.

POLICEMEN CAME IN WITH BABA IFEOMA.

- Officers, she is the one arrest her.

- eh? Arrest who? olopa,ema she bayi o ( police don't try it o) Deaconess in mi. (I am deaconess) yeeeeeee, jowo ran oju mi (please help my eyes)

- woman,  the  policemen shouted, you are under arrest for attempted killing of one Mrs chinyere. you have the right to be silent or what ever you say will be used against you in the court of law.

-Argh!! Iro ni. Rababaka, oshirabababa, if I be a deaconess, let fire come down. All of you go blind.(nothing happened. The  policemen dragged her out) argh, brother olopa, ejo, (please) saanu fun mi (have mercy on me)

Deaconess grace was kept in police custody. Her pastor, REVEREND WILSON TOLANI was shocked when he watched it on social media with tags DEACONESS JOHN CENA SEASON 1&2. He and his wife watched with their mouths wide open.

- What? God I can't believe this Reverend tolani said. How can Deaconess Grace do this? No, this is so not true. This is so not possible, I can't believe this.

- Kai, ife mi, his wife called. Can somebody like deaconess grace act like this?

- Beats my imaginations. Argh!!! Hmmm, now I fear the scripture which says, He that thinketh he standeth, should take heed, lest he falls. Hmm, deaconess Grace single handedly won 50 souls to our church. I have the record. I can never forget how zealous and serious she was in evangelism, What beauty she added in the singles fellowship then. Which group in church did not feel her impact? She is the youngest deaconess in church. The title was merited. Everyone in church loves her. Some even pray to be like her. What is this? What kind of disgrace is this?

- hmmmm, ife mi, Pastor Mrs Rachel tolani called her husband, perhaps, all we saw was the icing on the cake. The cake was coated so well we were carried away by it's beauty.

- Argh,hmmmm, all the coating can do is just beautify the outer leaving the inner just as it is. How would we know the cake is burnt. Kai, icing covers it all. Ha!! It is dangerous to be a pretender in God's house. When he cuts you in two, just like the cake, the world will see your real content. Hmmmm,  but why do I feel there is more to her behaviour than what we think?

- Really? Asked his wife. What could that be?

- that, I must definitely find out. I will be visiting her at the station tomorrow. You are coming with me. We will take food to her. Brother Gbenga and his travel I don't understand. And his line is not connecting.

- ife mi. Do you think it is right you visit her at the station? Your person will be at stake here. Attempted murder is what we are talking about here. Social media will carry it with a very negative caption. PASTOR DEFENDS FIGHTER HIS MEMBER. please reconsider and send someone else on your behalf.

He looked at his wife with so much surprise.

- ife, how could you even say something like this. This woman worked so hard for the church as a single sister even after marriage. Yes, she is caught up in a mess, that doesn't mean we should abandon her now. Jesus did not abandon the thief on the cross, he took him with him to paradise. She needs us now. I feel there is a part of her that was wounded. I need to hear from her.

GBENGA HAS BEEN WITH ANGEL after leaving the elderly woman's house. Angel stays with her children and Her elder brother who is single. Her husband is outside the country. Gbenga's  case was beginning to be critical that Angel was forced to collect aunty Mag's number from Gbenga's phone and told her all that happened. She came and took him to her house.  After eni's wedding, Gbenga's sisters decided that he would go with Aunty muyi  to Abuja. They were to leave the next day when Gbenga heard about his wife. He cancelled the trip. When he told his sisters.........

-Eheeeeee, Aunty muyi shouted. Argh! Emmmm, aunty mi tolani Ejo, bámi nú eti mi(please help me clean my ears) . heeeey!!!  Aunty mi Mag, shey e gbó è? ( did you hear him?) shey è gbó egbòn è? (did you hear your brother)

-ehee? Gbò è bawo? shèy o so nkán nkàn  ? (Hear him how? Did he say anything?)
