Malik’s gate opened. Down the road, Shehu sank low in the seat of his wife’s car. A white Range Rover Sport inched out of the gate, held open by the same security guard Shehu had spoken to earlier. The SUV stopped midway through and the darkened window rolled down. Malik was at the wheel. He spoke to the gateman then continued out of his compound and drove away, up the road.

Shehu started the Prius. Without a sound from the engine, the dashboard lit up. Malik turned left at the end of the road leading out of the estate. Shehu waited till the gateman had closed the gate then he pulled out and followed Malik.
