7 minutes had just jumped past the hour of 12 when I arrived his residence (in highbrow Lekki Phase 1, Lagos) that Sunday, June 21, 2015. It was drizzling and so the street looked deserted.
A hard knock on his gate and the security man came rushing out; sleepy-eyed and of course sad.
In fact, so sad because his sleep had been rudely interrupted. With the frown still occupying his face, he asked who I wanted to see; I said Julius and he went back to his room.
However, before he could reach him on the intercom, I already had Julius’ voice on my phone, which I handed over to him. ‘Open!’ He said, and the security man immediately ushered me into the compound, and from there the sitting room.

'What has he done?' I thought. I nodded yes.

She pressed on. “Does he play soccer?”

When I said that he did, she asked if he played in a game the previous week at a particular field. Again, I answered, “Yes.”
