Almost everybody on campus knew Chibuzo was a cultist. His dreadlock hair made him easy to identify even in the mist of his clique. As a young guy in his early 20s, nobody would expect he would have quickly climbed the ladder of his fraternity to make the Number 2, eventhough he was still in his third year in school. His rapid progress in the fraternity was as a result of some of the brave deeds he displayed during several of their attacks. Notable among them was when his gang was to confront their rival on a territorial dispute. Chibby, as he was also called, had single-handedly fought three hefty guys from the enemy camp without any weapon. One would not be making a mistake by saying that his gang would not have got a good hold on their present territory if Chibby had not displayed his brave acts. Since then, he had been given the duty of carrying out some great attacks and assassinations, of which he delivered perfectly. Eyebrows and hands were raised when Number 1 announced Chibuzo as the next number 2, but even the hands and eyebrows were very certain that he had outshine the current Number 2. The then Number 2 was demoted to Number 3, which introduced a strong rivalry between them. The rule with them was that, anybody could rise to any position by going extra miles for the fraternity, and which Chibby had done that severally. Another thing that aided his rapid promotions in the fraternity was because he was the "boy" of a famous business man in the town. Even after his emergence as the Number 2 of the fraternity, Chibby did not relent in his commitment to his group. He had led many attacks which were successful, and only very few were not successful. One of the unsuccessful attacks had led to the death of their Number 3. But, what many did not know was if it was Chibby who eliminated Number 3 in other to stop the rivalry between them.
It was an attack on their territory from their rival fraternity. Number 1 was not around, and Chibby was there with some other guys, including the demoted Number 2. None of them saw the attack coming. They were busy gisting and drinking when all of a sudden, they heard gunshots. Everybody sprang up their feet as they pull out their guns from different places they've hidden them. Some brought theirs from their socks. Some from their waist, and some had carefully placed in their bags, between books. "Scopio, go that way with Jack." Chibby dished out commands to them. He pointed to Number 3 as he said, "you stay with me." The two of them went in the same direction different from others, and what happened next was not what anybody could understand. Others had ran towards Chibby's direction when they heard a gunshot. Before they could get there, they heard another shot. The scene they saw when they got there amazed them so much. Chibby was sitting on the ground close to Number 3 who was on the ground, lifeless. A distance away, the corpse of a guy from the enemy camp was also on the ground. "Chibby!" One of them called out after noticing the lifeless body of Number 3. "Wetin happen? " He inquired rudely with a harsh tone before apologizing. "Number 3 was ahead of me." He started. "before I knew it, that guy gun am down." Chibby finally said, pointing to the guy on the ground, and saying the word "down" with great emphasis. The people did not believe the story, but there was no way they could disprove it because they were not there with them when it happened. They may not know so much, but one thing they know for sure is that Chibuzo was someone who could go to any length just to get whatever he wants or to remove any obstacle on his way.
