Facts about Miss Tosin Adetunde.

She's the principal's secretary and the teacher in charge of uploading results of students in  Willow Heights Academy.

From selling of students' results to paying deaf ears to students' reports, Miss Tosin has done more heartless things than a human could.

She is known to have sold and changed students scores for money. 

Her wickedness has also driven her to pay deaf ears whenever a few bold students come to report molestation cases to the principal.

  Detective Okoye rushed to the scene of the latest crime like his life depended on it. Once again, another teacher had died from the same school. Upon his arrival, he saw the neighbours crowded around the paramedics who carried the body of a woman out of the apartment.

    "What happened?" He breathlessly asked Jamaal who had arrived earlier. Jamaal called a short, plump woman who bit her nails nervously.

   "She's the neighbour of the deceased and the one that called the police." Jamaal said tiredly.

   "I always warned her about her loud television everyday. I came back from my shop this afternoon and heard her noisy television so I went to warn her again. I knocked and knocked but she didn't reply. I thought that she left it on and left the house or something. Just as I turned to leave, I heard her scream. I.. I.. I called the police immediately." The woman explained, her eyes welled up in tears as she recounted the event.

   Jamaal placed his hand on her shoulders as she wept. Okoye sighed and rubbed his face in frustration. He walked into the apartment and saw the messy state. He looked around the living room and his eyes zeroed in on the wine glass and bottle with a box of half eaten chocolate. 

     He picked the wine glass up and sniffed it but he didn't get any distinctive scent.

    "There is no sign of break in." An officer reported. He gave Okoye a piece of paper instead, "I think this might lead to something."

   Okoye read the love note over and over again but couldn't make sense of it. A secret admirer? In this country? He wondered how dumb the woman was to fall for it. But a desperate woman would believe it..

    "Detective Okoye.." Jamaal called, "The hospital just called. Miss Tosin was poisoned to death. They said there was a chemical found in her system that was very poisonous and since it was taken in a large quantity, it destroyed her insides." Jamaal explained, shiver ran down his spine as he began to reconsider his line of work.

   "Do you think all these deaths are related?" Okoye asked his partner who shrugged.

   "They're all from the same school so probably." He replied. Okoye began to wonder what the link between the three deaths was.

   Okoye arrived at his station looking more beat up than usual. He sat behind his desk and placed his head on his table.

   "Okoye." Someone called and he looked up to see his fellow detective. "This case is surely wearing you out." The detective said.

   "It's tearing me apart even. No clue, nothing at all." Okoye complained.
