The men grieved by what they suffered last time in the hands of the thieves, gingerly followed him. He led them quietly to were Rufus normally sat and saw the chair empty “ah ah, why Rufus no…” Frank’s father said loudly “ssshhh!” Jimmy hushed him.
They ti-ptoed quietly to the other uncompleted building that is inside, overhearing what was happening inside the uncompleted building. They sneak quietly into the building and arrived at the p@rticular room Rufus and Pamela is.
“Chicken nyash don open” Franka’s father said.
“So, na we-tin you dey do?” Frank’s father asked Rufus.
“You go suffer today, Rufus” Jimmy said angrily.
Rufus immediately tucked his flaccid d—k inside his short and jumped throu-gh the window, three of them went after him “thief ooh!” Jimmy shouted in other to get people to run after Rufus. They held their sticks gingerly and ran after Rufus who disappeared in the dark, others who c@m£ to get Rufus couldn’t get him.
Rufus out ran them, he ran to the church the pastor has today him to come see him the other time. The church wasn’t locked so he went inside and sle-pt off.
The next morning he woke up feeling pains all over his b©dy ’cause he has sle-pt on a bench. He stayed inside not wanting to be seen, the pastor c@m£ to the church that day as directed by the Holy spirit.
“Brother Rufus?” He asked surprise by the dejected nature he finds Rufus, “yes, Pastor. plea-se help me!” Rufus begged kneeling down. The pastor helped him up “this isn’t the battle of flesh and blood but as thus says the spirit, you have been held in captive by the devil” the pastor told Rufus who looked around if he could see fetters around him.
“Isn’t a physical captivity, brother Rufus, do you know an old woman in your life that you did something grievous and she cursed you?” He asked Rufus who looks confused. The pastor urged him to think.
“Old woman!”
“Old woman!”

“Help fire, you don too old, do die. Why thief no kill you sef?” Rufus asked and laughed chanting for the woman to die, “all your money go end for woman both legs, the man-hood wey you get. Go be your greatest curse” the woman cursed and gave up the ghost.

Rufus narrated as tears roll down his cheeks, “I don die!” He exclaimed crying loudly. “Hold yourself brother, Jesus c@m£ for sinners, he has s£nt me to redeem you, you will be free. Let’s pray” the pastor told Rufus who sat on the floor. They held hands and prayed, after sometimes they opened their eyes as they responded “Amen” to their prayer.
“We are ask to pay last respect to the old woman before the curse will be uplifted” the pastor said to Rufus, who agreed. He stood up with his car keys and Rufus followed behind, they entered his car and drove out of the compound.
After several hours of driving and asking for direction from the holy spirit, they arrived in a thatch house that is deserted completely.
Rufus and the pastor stood before the grave side and he instructed Rufus to speak, Rufus went on his kneels and took a handful sand heap on the grave “mama!” He choked in tears.
He pleaded immensely before the ghost of the woman appeared, she walked to Rufus who was crying and tapped him on the shoulder. An ugly spirit left him and followed the ghost of the old woman to the grave as they both disappeared.
The pastor helped remorseful Rufus up and they both went to his car and drove off, they arrived in the church “what should I do next pastor?” Rufus asked impatiently amazed by the current state of affairs he find himself.
