The Return Of ijele - Episode 4
Ekeotammadu was a secret society headquarters in Umuego where mazi ego and his wife Nkemjika lived. Together they headed the cult, which had members from all nine villages in the Akwele province. The cult was diabolical, requiring human and animal sacrifices of its members in order to climb it’s hierarchy and attain wealth. Human sacrifices were considered the most important, and relationships mattered.
Sacrificing a stranger was acceptable, but cult members who could kill relatives or friends were promised riches beyond what they could imagine . Mazi ego and his wife had no children as they had offered all their seven children as sacrifices to Ekeotammadu and had immeasurable wealth to show for it.
Obi and Uzodinma belonged to this cult. They had shared this information to their friend Ijele and the two men had spent many fishing trips with Ijele dreaming of how wealthy they would become as a result of the animal sacrifices they were making.

Ijele arrived Umuego at 2:45 am. He arrived the huge mansion that was Mazi ego’s home. The walls surrounding the compound were tall, but being an old fence there cracks with his excellent night vision, he scanned the cracks. Once ready he crouched, and like an antelope leapt and caught hold of the first two cracks in the wall, he topped the fence. Once inside the compound he took his surroundings, his legs were buried in the smooth sand that covered the grounds. He smiled no foot falls. Perfect no one would hear him coming. The white two story mansion had a simple design, and as Ijele walked past the small security post to the front door, he heard the loud irritating snoring of the security guard.
