Relax Mr

SHEHU
Fi…fi…fifteen
years
AKUCHE

you describe the accused’s relationship with her husband?
BANKOLE
Ex-husband…you
are a lawyer, you should get your facts right
AKUCHE

AKUCHE
What are
you doing here?
BANKOLE
I am here
to see the witness
AKUCHE
I am sure
you can wait for him at the reception
BANKOLE
I will like
to watch you interrogate the witness
AKUCHE
And why is
that? We are not on the same side
BANKOLE
The accused
is the CEO of KINGS who happens to be your biggest client, how are we not on
the same side?
AKUCHE
Ex-CEO, you
are a lawyer, you should get your facts right
BANKOLE
We both
know that if she goes to jail, the stock price of KINGS is going to tank. So,
we are on the same side
Akuche sighs and faces Shehu
AKUCHE
Mr.
Gbadamosi, how will describe the relationship between the accused and her
ex-husband?
BANKOLE
Objection
AKUCHE
Excuse me
BANKOLE
If I am in
the court, I will say objection
AKUCHE
We are not
in the court, why are you objecting?
BANKOLE
Why not
just make it a court, I mean I am the accused’s lawyer, you can be the opposing
lawyer and we can trash it out and see how it goes
AKUCHE
No
BANKOLE
(Smirk)
Unless of course, you don’t think you can beat me
AKUCHE
I am not
going to play into your stupidity
BANKOLE
Congratulation,
I heard you finally became a senior partner
AKUCHE
You must be
heartbroken now that you are no longer her golden boy
BANKOLE
And you
will always be the replacement of her golden boy
Akuche looks pissed, Jo taps
Bankole
JO
Bankole,
what are you doing?
Bankole ignores her and walks
closer to Akuche and Shehu
BANKOLE
What does
her relationship with her ex-husband have to do with this case?
AKUCHE
It attest
to the character of the accused, her relationship with her ex-husband further
solidifies her motive for killing the victim… at this point, I am sure the
judge will say objection overruled
Bankole chuckles
BANKOLE
Probably
AKUCHE
Mr.
Gbadamosi, please answer the question
SHEHU
Like
e…e…e…very o…o…other ma…ma…marriage
AKUCHE

other marriage?

been with this couples for over fifteen years, you have to know more than that
SHEHU
When it
comes to…to his ma…ma…ma…ma…marriage, We…we…Wemimo Kings was
all…all...all...always secretive
AKUCHE
So was it
true that the accused tried to leave her ex-husband during the early years of
their marriage?
Both
Bankole and Shehu looks up in shock while Jo looks surprise
Next on Why?
JO
And you
didn’t think to share this crucial information with me
AKUCHE
You can’t
blame him, he didn’t want you to know he has a cold stone bitch as a sister
BANKOLE
That is
uncalled for
AKUCHE
But it is
true, she was going to leave him even after he gave her bastard son his name
