What Lies Within(Editing)

chapter 39

The next case

Your lord. Now is the case between Maimuna Bukar Ibrahim and Zainab Abdullahi which maimuna is accusing her of poising Naseer kabir maishanu.

Wait zainab Abdullahi?  That's zee zee.  I said to myself

We are now in the court. If you are wondering where are the maishanu's they are here.  our eyes once met with ya Naseer but I took my eyes away from him.

Zee zee was brought into the Court. Our eyes met but I glared at her.

Your lordship. My name is Mubarak murtala I am the lawyer defending Zainab Abdullahi. He bowed and sat down

Your lordship. My name is Jafar sulieman. I am the lawyer defending maymuna Bukar Ibrahim. He also bowed and sat down

Lawyer of the suspect we may like to start with you. Do you have any question  you want to ask maimuna?

Yes your lordship

The court would like to invite maymuna here.

Go you can do it. Said Tim Tim and Nadiya while I stood up and went to the place opposite zee zee. It's also carved so I climbed the 3 stairs there before standing.

You are Maymuna Bukar Ibrahim. Do you know her? He asked pointing at zee zee

Yes.  She was my Friend then and we work together then

She was your friend. And you worked together then. So what broke the friendship between you two?

I looked at ya Naseer before I said "we fought "

Can you tell us why you fought?

The time that l about to marry  ya Naseer, I took his phone and saw a message " hey love  I didn't see you for the whole of today. We need to talk about our wedding blah blah blah. I just ignored the message  even though it was not something easy but I chose to because I trusted him. I said the last part looking at him. I then continued "But soon after then I started receiving the message again  but this time in my phone and the contents were different. Leave my Naseer alone,  Naseer is mine, if you dear try to steal  my Naseer I'll kill you
The last I replied and we fought through messages.  I told ya tima and we planned to investigate. We took her phone and as stupid as she is she forgot to clear the messages"..... Be careful maimuna you are in court

"Sorry your lordship". I replied

"Go on"

"We fought with her and she insulted me telling me all sort of names but ya Naseer overhead us so he told her to leave his house but I pleaded with him to let her stay because I know she doesn't enjoy living with her parents
And that was the beginning of our mis understanding. The day that ya Naseer was poisoned, she told me that we should bury the hatchet and be friends again but I rejected"

"And that was why you decided to say she poisoned someone because you have issues "

"Objection my Lord"  Said Jafar. "He's not asking her question he's
Deciding it for her. Does he have any prove?"

"Take not barrister"

"Thank you your lordship". I would also like to invite Maryam kabir maishanu for some questions"

"Is Maryam kabir maishanu here?" Asked the Judge

"Yes I'm here said Mimi" She came out and they told me to go while she occupied where I was standing

"Maryam. You were the first person that saw Naseer after he was poisoned. What  can you say about it?" Asked barrister Mubarak

"muna was my Friend then. They had problem with my brother and she decided to poison him because he said he's not marrying her again. And she decided to put in on Zainab. For ya Naseer I was passing and I saw him falling down from his chair while something foamy was coming out of his mouth. I saw the food on his plate and how I knew muna was the one that poisoned him because the poison was in his favourite food and she knows that he can't pass without tasting it"  Said Mimi which didn't surprise me. Mimi is too stupid for my liking.
