This is a story about a new President who allowed his close female associate and Minister of Petroleum, Madam Lambo, to steal Billions belonging to the citizens of Nigeria while covering for her. She uses the managing director of the NNPC and two other money launderers to loot the Nigerian treasury with impunity.
The massive stealing of the Nigerian people’s wealth went on for years until a no-nonsense lady in charge of the anti-corruption agency, Bolanle Rasaki, decided to strike and take down the big looters, irrespective of their connection to Mr. President.
SECRETARY
(poking her head in) Excuse me ma, there's someone here to see you.
Bolanle looks up, curious. A man, by the name Joshua, in his mid 30s enters the office, carrying a briefcase.
JOSHUA
(smiling) Greetings to you Commander Rasaki, I'm Joshua, an investigative journalist. I've been following your work closely, and I believe there's more to uncover. I have some leads on other corrupt individuals who need to be exposed.
Bolanle's eyes light up with a mix of intrigue and determination.
BOLANLE RASAKI
(settling into her seat) Thank you Joshua, you've come to the right place. We'll work together to uncover the truth and bring justice to those who deserve it. Our fight against corruption is without sentiments.
They shake hands, forming an alliance that promises to shake the foundations of the new and old crooks in Abuja.
FADE OUT.

Ogundele and Chinasa, still in their disguises, sit in a dimly lit room, catching their breath.
CHINASA
(whispering) We made it, baby. We're safe for now.
OGUNDELE
(gritting his teeth) We'll lie low for as long as it takes. We cannot let that stubborn woman, Bolanle Rasaki catch up to us. We'll catch a plane to Europe from here, to enjoy our lives away from her reach.

(with a warning tone) Commander Rasaki, you've been causing quite a stir with your relentless pursuit of this case. I advise you to drop it. You're treading dangerous waters.
BOLANLE RASAKI
(unyielding) With all due respect, sir, I cannot back down. Corruption must be rooted out of Nigeria, regardless of who and who are involved. I will not stop until justice is served.
The tension in the room thickens as the power struggle intensifies.

(resolutely) I'm sorry Mr President, I will not drop this case. I have evidence that implicates top officials of your administration. The people deserve to know the truth.
CHIEF OF STAFF
(strong tone) You're treading on dangerous ground, Ms. Rasaki. This case has serious consequences. I advise you to reconsider for your own good.
Bolanle's resolve strengthens, and she stands her ground.
BOLANLE RASAKI
(defiantly) No sir, this is the right course of action. I will not be silenced. The truth must prevail, no matter the cost.
President Okonta folds his hands as he watches Bolanle and his Chief of Staff tackle each other.
