*THE SECOND NAME*
*EPISODE 1: THE ACCOUNTANT*
The rain was beating the roof of Tunde’s office in Yaba like it was angry.
It was 9:47pm. Everyone else had gone home.
Tunde Bello, 38, was still at his desk. Tie loosened. Two laptops open. Calculator, coffee gone cold.
He wasn’t supposed to be here.
But Chief Akindele called him 3 hours ago. “Tunde, I need you to move something. Urgent. Election money. Temporary.”
2 billion naira.
Through 14 companies. In 72 hours.
No questions.
Tunde had said yes. Because the mortgage was due. Because Zara’s school fees just increased. Because saying no to the Chief meant no more contracts for his firm.
He finished the last transfer at 10:12pm. His hands were shaking.
He told himself: _It’s just numbers. It’s not my money. It’s temporary._
He drove home to Lekki in the rain. Yemi was asleep. Zara’s school drawing was on the fridge: “My Daddy The Accountant.”
For 6 months, nothing happened. Life went on.
Then the news broke: EFCC arrests Chief Akindele for money laundering.
Two days later, 6am, there was a knock on Tunde’s door.
Not police. Not EFCC uniform.
Just two men in plain clothes.
“Mr. Bello? We need you to come with us. For questioning.”
In a room with no windows, a file was slid across the table.
His signature. His transfers. His IP address.
A man named DPO Sule looked at him and said:
“Tunde. You have two options.
Option 1: 15 years.
Option 2: You help us get the big fish.”
Tunde looked at the photo of Zara on his phone.
He didn’t answer yet.
