Musa is the presidential aspirant for the National Peoples Party in the forthcoming elections and he is very popular, in fact everybody believes he's going to win the elections.

As the elections came closer and the campaigns got fiercer, he started getting death threats from so many persons, his opponent was not sleeping on his oars, he wanted the presidency by all means.

That sunny Tuesday afternoon as Musa got out of his campaign office, he saw a parking ticket tucked neatly in the front of his car.

He knew he was not violating any traffic laws or environmental laws parking where he parked and so instantly he became weary of the ticket.

Adamu his driver went straight picked up the ticket but then it was not really a ticket, it was a well sealed envelope, with the inscription President Musa written on top.

As Adamu made to open the envelope, Musa screamed Nooooooooo but it was too late, the bomb exploded, it was a letter bomb not a parking ticket, and Adamu lay there lifeless on the floor.


My 5 minutes is up see you soon as we do this again hope you enjoyed the read.

I always wondered how a bom fits into an envelope. Better not open letters from strangers. ☹

Exactly it is quite risky especially for high profile people like politicians and celebrities
