Tanko stayed very close to the cemetery so he used that to outwit okada riders and taxi drivers. He would simply alight at the cemetery junction, fill his nostrils with cotton and speak nasally. This scared every driver and rider and wouldn’t wait to ask him for money but run for their dear lives. Tanko did this for years and successfully outwitted every driver thinking he was a ghost. One cool evening, Tanko boarded this okada and as usual alighted at the cemetery junction. “MONEY” the angry looking okada man asked. Tanko was at his best, stuffed cotton wool into his nostrils and spoke nasally; “I dont have money!” The okada man wouldn’t take any of that, and kept insisting. This frustrated Tanko, who later said; “Ok, ok, follow me into the cemetery. . to my room and I will pay you”. The okada man agreed and followed him till they got to one grave. Tanko in his attempts to frighten the okada man knocked on the grave and screamed; “Koofie!, Koofie!, Koofie!, abeg give me ghc2 make I pay this stubborn okada man” All of a sudden, a very big hand holding ghc5 appeared through the grave accompanied with a voice saying; “Take, this one na ma last card. . .” Two pairs of shoes belonging to Tanko and the Okada man were found on the scene as at the time of gathering this report. We learnt Tanko ran home with fresh shit all over his pants…. he’s yet to recover form the shock.
