I was born and raised in Kano metropolis, I'm  from an extended polygamous family.
My mother is the first wife and was blessed with 5 children with me being the oldest,  followed by Fadeel and Fadeela(who are twins) then Fatyma and Akhram, while my step mother has 3 children who are all boys Mujnoor, Sadeeq and Khalifa.
My father was quite well known  in Nigeria, he was a politician and a successful business man.
We had a very big and beautiful house, more like a mansion filled with cars of different types (I can't precisely tell how many cars my father had back then, because they were too many), the ornamental flowers and plants that surrounded the house made it look more like something out of the magazine, the  pets,  trampoline, swimming pools etc were just an added bonus.

My mother is the kindest person  I have ever known on earth. She is an Egyptian and met my father when he went there to study for his masters degree on International relation while she was on  her first degree studying medicine and surgery in the same Al Azhar University in Cairo.
They started dating, a halal relationship that later led  to marriage, after they were done with their studies they lived in Egypt for a while before resettling in Nigeria.


My mother is the kind of mother who really loves her children to the extent that she can do anything to keep them safe and happy whiles my step mother on the other  doesn't  really care about her children, she was more into my father's  wealth  and fame. She busies herself  making money,  traveling from one states to another and across countries. Nobody knew the  particular business she was into not even my father. Her worse mistake was pushing her children away, all her children were under  mom's care and she treated them like her own.

I was in Ss 3 in one of the best schools in Kano at the age of 16, when the the life altering incident happened.

Early Monday morning  at about 7:00am, my siblings and I  were being driven to school in one of my father's numerous black jeeps. We spotted another jeep with tainted glass tailed us long after the driver had driven out of the house. The driver maintained his normal speed, thinking it was one of dad's escorts (we had our own escort because it was quite risky to leave us out there as my father use to say) as soon as we parked our car infront of our school gate, the car from behind also parked behind us.  We were suddenly surrounded by 4  fully armed  men   covering their face with black masks, pointing rifles at each of us.
