BEAUTIFUL WOMAN

    I was confused as to why they were making such noises. A girl was being dragged with a tyre around her. 
    
    "She stole my five thousand naira." A woman shouted. 
    
    Five thousand naira, I thought. Oh no, Nene has five thousand. 
    
    I went further towards the crowd to see kerosene being poured on the girl. 
    The girl was my Nene. 
    
    "She's not a thief!" I screamed. "Please don't burn her. Let's resolve this, please." 
    
    "No, she's a thief." The woman who claimed her money had been stolen said. 
    
    "Ma, you're mistaken. My sister, didn't steal your money. Please tell them to stop. They'll kill my sister." 
    
    "Sister, help me!" Nene shouted. 
    
    I saw fear in her eyes, the spirit of death was hovering around my sister. 
    
    "Please beg them to stop, please."
