Homecoming:
Ogunmola had waited for this moment for what felt like an eternity. After months of being away at war in Sambisa Forest fighting against the Boko Haram Terrorist, he was finally returning home to his family and his beloved town. As the bus approached the outskirts of the town, Ogunmola’s heart started racing with excitement.
However, as the bus drove further into town, Ogunmola’s excitement turned to confusion and horror. Everywhere he looked, there was destruction. The buildings were in ruins, the streets were littered with debris, and there were barely any signs of life. Ogunmola’s mind couldn’t comprehend what had happened.
Finally, the bus pulled up to what used to be Ogunmola’s street. But instead of the warm welcome he was expecting, Ogunmola was met with silence. There was nobody in sight, and the only sounds were the creaking of damaged buildings and the faint echoes of explosions in the distance.
With a sinking feeling in his stomach, Ogunmola stepped off the bus and walked towards his family’s home. What he saw there was something that would haunt him for the rest of his life. The house was barely standing, with the roof caved in and the walls charred from fire. Ogunmola couldn’t believe what he was seeing. His family was nowhere to be found, and the only clue to their whereabouts was a blood-stained piece of cloth.
With tears streaming down his face, Ogunmola fell to his knees in front of the ruined house. He had no idea what had happened, but he knew one thing for certain: he had to find out who was responsible for this destruction and make them pay.
And with that, Ogunmola vowed to seek revenge on whoever was responsible for destroying his family and town. As Ogunmola sat in front of his ruined home, he began to reflect on his time at war. He had seen terrible things during his service, but nothing could have prepared him for the devastation he was witnessing now.
Feeling overwhelmed by the loss of his family and home, Ogunmola stood up and started walking aimlessly through the town. As he made his way through the rubble, he could see that the destruction was widespread. Shops and businesses were destroyed, and many of the town’s landmarks were reduced to rubble.
Despite the devastation around him, Ogunmola couldn’t help but feel a flicker of hope. He knew there must be some survivors in the town, and he was determined to find them. He also knew that he couldn’t do it alone.
After several hours of searching, Ogunmola came across a group of survivors who had taken refuge in an old abandoned building. They were huddled together, scared and traumatized by what had happened to the town. Ogunmola approached them cautiously and introduced himself, explaining that he was a soldier who had just returned home.
To his relief, the survivors welcomed him with open arms. They told him about the attack that had destroyed the town and about the people who had betrayed them. As Ogunmola listened to their stories, his anger, and determination to seek revenge grew stronger.
The survivors asked Ogunmola what he planned to do next, and he told them that he was going to seek out others who had survived the attack and form a group to take down the people responsible for the destruction. The survivors agreed to help him in any way they could.
As the sun began to set on the destroyed town, Ogunmola and the survivors began to plan their next move. They knew the road ahead would be long and dangerous, but they were determined to bring justice to those who betrayed them.
With a renewed sense of purpose, Ogunmola and the survivors set out to find more survivors and form a group that would take on the Fulani Herdsmen who invaded and destroyed their town and killed their families. The journey ahead would be difficult, but Ogunmola was ready to do whatever it took to avenge his family and his town.

A New Alliance:
Ogunmola and the survivors spent the next few days searching for other survivors in the town. They scoured the ruins of buildings, calling out for anyone who might be alive. As they searched, they encountered many dangers – collapsed buildings, toxic fumes, and the occasional looter – but they persevered, driven by their desire for justice.
Finally, after days of searching, they stumbled upon a group of survivors who had set up camp in an old factory. The survivors were initially wary of Ogunmola and his group, but after some convincing, they agreed to join forces in their fight against the Fulani Herdsmen.
The new group was made up of people from all walks of life – farmers, shopkeepers, and even a few former soldiers like Ogunmola. They were all united by a common goal: to take down the Fulani Herdsmen who had destroyed their homes and killed their loved ones.
With their numbers now increased, Ogunmola and his group began to plan their attack on the traitors. They scouted out the traitors’ hideout and gathered as much information as they could about their movements and defenses.
As they planned their attack, Ogunmola also began to train the survivors in basic combat and survival skills. Many of them had never held a weapon before, but Ogunmola was impressed by their willingness to learn and their courage in the face of danger.
One day, as they were preparing for their attack, a survivor named Bisola approached Ogunmola with a request. Bisola was a skilled hacker who had managed to access some of the Fulani Herdsmen’s communications. She had discovered that one of them was planning to defect and was willing to provide them with information in exchange for safe passage out of town.
At first, Ogunmola was hesitant. He didn’t trust the traitor and didn’t want to take any chances that could jeopardize their mission. But after much discussion with the group, they decided to take a chance on him.
They met with the traitor in a secret location and made the deal. The traitor gave them valuable information about the Fulani Herdsmen’s defenses and the location of their leaders. In exchange, they provided the traitor with safe passage out of town.
As the traitor disappeared into the night, Ogunmola and the survivors began to finalize their plans. They knew that the attack would be dangerous and that there was a high chance that they would not all make it out alive. But they were united in their cause and ready to fight for what was right.
With their weapons at the ready, Ogunmola and the survivors set out to take down the Fulani Herdsmen and avenge their loved ones. The battle ensued was fierce and brutal, but in the end, Ogunmola and his group emerged victorious. The Fulani Herdsmen were defeated, and justice had been served.
As they surveyed the wreckage of the Herdsmen hideout, Ogunmola felt a sense of satisfaction wash over him. His family and his town would never be restored, but he had done all he could to bring the invaders to justice. And with the support of his new alliance of survivors, Ogunmola knew that he could face whatever challenges lay ahead.
After the successful attack on the Fulani Herdsmen’s hideout, Ogunmola and the survivors returned to the town. Although they had succeeded in their mission, the victory was bittersweet. They had lost several of their own in the battle, and the town was still in ruins.
As they began assessing the damage and planning for the future, Ogunmola received a message from an unexpected source. It was from an old friend of his, Ugochukwu, whom he had served with in the military. Ugochukwu had heard about what had happened to Ogunmola’s town and offered to come help in any way he could.
Ogunmola was hesitant at first. He didn’t want to endanger his friend, especially after what had happened to his family. But the more he thought about it, the more he realized he could use all the help he could get.
Ugochukwu arrived a few days later, and Ogunmola was surprised to see how much he had changed. He had always been a confident and outgoing person, but now he seemed haunted by his own experiences in the military. Ogunmola could tell that something had changed in him, but he didn’t want to push too hard.
As they caught up, Ogunmola learned that Ugochukwu had been working for a private military contractor since leaving the military. He had seen action in several countries and grew disillusioned with how things were done. He had left the contractor and was now trying to find a way to make a positive difference in the world.

Ogunmola filled Ugochukwu in on what had happened in their town and the mission they had just completed. Ugochukwu was shocked and saddened by the news and was eager to help Ogunmola and the survivors in any way he could.
Ogunmola and Ugochukwu began to train the survivors in more advanced combat tactics and strategies. They knew that the Fulani Herdsmen weren’t the only threat out there and needed to be prepared for whatever might come their way.
As they trained, Ogunmola couldn’t help but feel a sense of kinship with Ugochukwu. They had both seen the horrors of war and had both been betrayed by the people they had trusted. But now, they were fighting for something greater than themselves. They were fighting for their home and for justice.
One day, as they were training, they received a message from one of the survivors who had been out on a scouting mission. The survivor had seen armed men approaching the town and feared they might be hostile.
Ogunmola and the others quickly gathered their weapons and prepared for a confrontation. As the armed men approached, they could see that they were heavily armed and well-trained. Clearly, they were not just a group of bandits or looters.
As the two groups faced off, a figure emerged from the armed men. It was a woman in military fatigues with a stern expression on her face.
“I am Captain Moremi,” she said. “I represent a group of survivors who have banded together to form a new community. We have heard about what you have accomplished here and would like to offer you a chance to join us.”
Ogunmola and the survivors were taken aback. They had never heard of this community before and were hesitant to trust anyone after what had happened with the Herdsmen.
But as they talked with Captain Moremi, they began to see that she was genuine in her intentions. Her community was made up of former soldiers and other survivors who were dedicated to creating a better world. They had resources and expertise that could be invaluable to Ogunmola and the survivors.
After much discussion, Ogunmola and the survivors agreed to join forces with Captain Moremi and her community. It was a risky move, but they knew that with the survivors and Captain Moremi’s community now united, they began working together to rebuild the town and prepare for future threats.
The two groups quickly found that they complemented each other well. The survivors were skilled at scavenging and building, while Captain Moremi’s community had a wealth of knowledge and resources from their military backgrounds.
Ogunmola worked closely with Captain Moremi and began to develop a deep respect for her. He saw how she cared for her people and how she was always thinking ahead and planning for the future.
Despite the success of their alliance, there were still tensions between the two groups. Some survivors were wary of the military personnel and felt they were being treated like second-class citizens. Captain Moremi’s people, on the other hand, were frustrated with what they saw as the survivors’ lack of discipline and training.
Ogunmola and Captain Moremi knew they needed to address these tensions before they boiled into conflict. They organized a meeting between the two groups and began a frank and open discussion about their differences.
At first, the discussion was heated. Both sides felt like they had been wronged and were quick to point out each other’s flaws. But as the discussion went on, they began to find common ground.
They talked about their shared experiences of loss and betrayal and how they had each been forced to adapt and survive in a harsh and unforgiving world. They talked about their hopes for the future and how they wanted to create a strong and resilient community.
As the meeting drew close, Ogunmola stood up and addressed the group. He spoke about his experiences in the military and how he had been forced to confront his demons and come to terms with the things he had seen and done.
He talked about how he had been betrayed by the people he had trusted most and how he had been forced to rebuild his life from scratch. But he also talked about the hope he had found in his fellow survivors and the newfound alliance with Captain Moremi’s community.
“None of us can do this alone,” he said. “We need each other and need to trust each other and work together if we’re going to survive and thrive in this world. We may have our differences, but we have more in common than we realize. We’ve all been through hell, but we’re still here. And that means something.”
As Ogunmola finished his speech, there was a long moment of silence. Then, one by one, the survivors and the military personnel began to stand up and shake hands. It was a small gesture but a sign that they were willing to put aside their differences and work together.
With the tensions between the two groups now eased, Ogunmola and Captain Moremi began to plan for the future. They knew there were still threats out there, but they felt confident they could face them together. And for the first time in a long time, Ogunmola felt like he had a real sense of purpose and belonging.
 The Traitor’s Lair:
As Ogunmola and Captain Moremi continued to work together to rebuild the town, they received a message from a neighboring community. The message was cryptic and urgent, and it hinted at a possible new threat that could put both their communities in danger.
Ogunmola and Captain Moremi decided to investigate the threat and set out to the neighboring community with a small team of soldiers and survivors. When they arrived, they found the community in chaos. Buildings were on fire, and people were running in all directions.
The team split up to search for survivors and assess the situation. Ogunmola and Captain Moremi made their way to the community’s central building, where they hoped to find some answers.
As they entered the building, they were confronted by a group of armed men. The men were heavily armed and wore masks that obscured their faces.
Ogunmola and Captain Moremi tried to reason with the men, but they refused to listen. Instead, they opened fire, forcing Ogunmola and Captain Moremi to take cover.
In the chaos that followed, Ogunmola caught a glimpse of one of the masked men’s faces. To his horror, he recognized the man as one of his former comrades from the war.
The realization hit Ogunmola like a ton of bricks. He had thought that his former comrades had died in battle, but it was now clear they had somehow survived and turned against him.
With this new knowledge, Ogunmola and Captain Moremi realized they were facing a much bigger threat than anticipated. They knew that they needed to find out who was behind the attack and put a stop to their plans before it was too late.
Ogunmola suggested that they search the community’s records to see if they could find any clues about the attackers. They made their way to the community’s archives but found that the records had been destroyed in the attack.
As they searched the ruins of the archives, they stumbled upon a hidden door. Ogunmola and Captain Moremi cautiously entered the room and were shocked by what they found inside.
The room was filled with weapons and supplies, and maps and documents were scattered across a large table in the center of the room. As they looked closer, they realized the documents detailed a plan to attack their community.
Clearly, the masked men were working for a powerful and dangerous enemy and willing to do whatever it took to achieve their goals. Ogunmola and Captain Moremi knew that they needed to act fast if they were going to stop them.
They quickly gathered up the documents and weapons and made their way back to their own community. They knew that they were now facing an enemy that was well-organized and well-equipped, but they were determined to stop them no matter what.

The Ambush:
With the new information they had uncovered, Ogunmola and Captain Moremi knew they needed to prepare their community for an attack. They shared the documents they had found with the other survivors and devised a plan to defend their home.
The community was small and unequipped, but they were determined to fight against their enemies. They set up traps and barricades and trained every able-bodied person to defend themselves.
Despite their preparations, they knew that an attack could come at any time. One day, as Ogunmola was out on patrol with a small group of soldiers, they stumbled upon an enemy scout. They quickly captured the scout and brought him back to their community for questioning.
Under interrogation, the scout revealed that the enemy was planning to launch a full-scale attack on their community within the next few days. They had already sent several scouting parties to gather intelligence and identified the community as a vulnerable target.
Ogunmola and Captain Moremi knew they had to act fast. They sent out messengers to neighboring communities, asking for their help in defending against the upcoming attack.
As the community prepared for battle, Ogunmola and Captain Moremi took their small group of soldiers out to gather more intelligence on the enemy’s movements. They hoped to launch a surprise attack on the enemy before they could launch their own attack.
As they were scouting out the enemy’s base, they suddenly found themselves under attack. The enemy had anticipated their move and had set a trap for them.
The small group of soldiers fought bravely, but they were vastly outnumbered. Ogunmola and Captain Moremi fought side by side, taking down as many enemies as they could.
As the battle raged on, Ogunmola spotted a familiar face among the enemy ranks. One of his former comrades had turned against him and his community.
Filled with rage and betrayal, Ogunmola charged towards his former comrade. The two men fought fiercely, each determined to come out on top.
In the end, Ogunmola emerged victorious. He held his former comrade at gunpoint and demanded to know why he had betrayed him.
The former comrade revealed that he had been recruited by a powerful warlord, who had promised him wealth and power if he helped to destroy Ogunmola’s community. The warlord had been gathering a massive army and planning to launch a series of attacks on neighboring communities to establish his own power.
With this new information, Ogunmola and Captain Moremi knew they were facing a much bigger threat than anticipated. They knew that they needed to find a way to stop the warlord and his army before they could destroy everything they held dear.
The Final Battle:
After the failed scouting mission, Ogunmola and Captain Moremi returned to their community to find that the enemy army was already advancing. They had to act quickly to prepare for the final battle.
The community had received help from neighboring communities but was still vastly outnumbered by the enemy army. They had to rely on their strategy and determination to win.
As the two armies clashed, Ogunmola fought at the front lines alongside his fellow soldiers. They fought bravely, but the enemy army was relentless.
At one point, Ogunmola found himself fighting against his former commander, who had turned against him and his community. They exchanged blows, and Ogunmola managed to disarm the commander and bring him down.
As the battle raged on, it seemed like the community was losing ground. They were outnumbered and outmatched, and it looked like they were about to be defeated.
But then, something unexpected happened. The warlord leading the enemy army suddenly turned on his own soldiers, revealing that he had been using them as pawns in his quest for power.
The warlord revealed that he had been planning to destroy all neighboring communities and rule over the land with an iron fist. He had never intended to keep his promises to his own soldiers, who he saw as disposable.
The enemy soldiers quickly turned on their leader, and chaos erupted on the battlefield. In confusion, Ogunmola and Captain Moremi saw their opportunity to strike.
They rallied their soldiers and launched a coordinated attack on the enemy army. They fought with everything they had and managed to take down the remaining enemy soldiers.
With the battle won, Ogunmola and Captain Moremi surveyed the aftermath. The community was in ruins, but they had emerged victorious.
Looking around at the destruction, they knew they had lost a lot. But they had also gained something – the knowledge that they could survive anything as long as they worked together and never gave up.
And for Ogunmola, there was a sense of closure. He had avenged his family’s deaths and had brought justice to those who had betrayed him. He knew he could finally move on and rebuild his life.
Rebuilding:
With the war over, Ogunmola and the surviving members of the community began the long process of rebuilding. They worked tirelessly to restore their homes and businesses and to bring life back to the town.
Despite their losses, the community had a sense of hope and unity. They had been through a lot but emerged stronger and more resilient.
As Ogunmola worked on rebuilding his own home, he couldn’t help but think about his family. He still missed them terribly, but he knew he had to keep moving forward.
One day, as he was working on his home, he heard a knock on the door. It was a young girl, no more than ten years old, with a shy smile on her face.
“Hi,” she said. “My name is Folasade. My family used to live down the street, but they were killed in the war. I don’t have anywhere else to go. Can I stay with you?”
The girl’s request took aback Ogunmola, but he could see the pain and loneliness in her eyes. He knew what it was like to lose everything, and he couldn’t turn her away.
“Of course,” he said. “You’re welcome to stay here for as long as you need.”
Folasade smiled gratefully, and Ogunmola realized this was his chance to make a difference in someone’s life. He may have lost his own family, but he could still help others.
Over the next few weeks, Ogunmola worked to make his home comfortable for Folasade. He taught her how to cook, and they spent evenings playing games and telling stories.
As they grew closer, Ogunmola realized he had found a new family. He would never forget the loved ones he had lost, but he knew he was responsible for caring for those still with him.
And as the community continued to rebuild, Ogunmola felt a renewed sense of purpose. He had been betrayed, but he had also been given a second chance to create something new and make a difference in the world.
