''corrupt police officer to an end''

by jmmymwangi

Tom was a policeman who served in stage one village. Despite having been in the police service for a short time, there was a lot of complain on how he had changed to become the most corrupt police officer in the whole country leave alone the village. People from whichever corner he served, kept complaining of hi service. Mr. Tom could collude with gangs, thieves, and other evil doer just for the sake of extra money. You could see him very early in the morning well dressed in his official attire and If you ask him about his policing job, he said that he is serving the nation with his whole heart and he need to start his job early. According to him, policing job was a calling and that he loves the job with passion.
On one Saturday morning, I saw Constable Tom on his way to certain home where the owner of the homestead was selling drugs to the youth. I knew that the issue of drug in our village would stop not because Mr. Tom would arrest the drug baron, but because the drug baron would run away to other places for fear of being arrested by other serious police officers. To officer tom, he knew it was time to get rich. Drug barons are loaded with money. He wanted to get him before waking up. Small portion would make officer tom to let the business done. Just before getting into the drug baron’s homestead, Tom saw a well-dressed man who was approaching from the other direction, and on top of his head, he was a carrying a coffin. The greedy policeman stood still and waited for the man. The man was a thief. His work was exhuming dead people; take out the coffin to sell it to other people. His work was exhuming people buried with the most expensive coffins. He knew how to trade on this business. He had survived on it for a long time. On seeing the policeman he was frightened at once because he had no cash at hand to bribe the officer,. He thought of a trick that could let the officer leave him.
On arriving where his vehicle was, Tom went near him and got hold of his left arm with his pistol ready for anything stupid. What are you doing with coffin on your head? Where are you going? Before any other question the man responded. My family buried me on the land I had said not to be buried in case I die, I am relocating ton my land of choice. Officer tom collapsed to death in the process of looking for bribes.
