Lead image created by myselfHe used to be a good boy, but due to bad influence, he got himself into a very bad situation.
It all started when he finished college (Senior secondary school). When he wrote his secondary school leaving exam, while others were busy processing their admission into higher institutions, Drey was feeling fulfilled. Finishing secondary school was like the greatest achievement for him. His parents were office workers, they go to the office in the morning and come back home late at night. So they don't really have time to spend with him to lecture him on the ways of life.
Drey began to follow some bad friends from his street. The gang he followed was known to be full of bad guys. They smoke, drink and do fraudulent activities. He joined them in doing the fraud but resisted himself from smoking and drinking. Day in day out, drey was always among those guys. Sometimes he doesn't go home to sleep.
After a while of mingling with these bad guys, Drey couldn't keep up with his word. He began to drink and smoke, he overdid it that he wasn't even looking good again. It got to an extent that he no longer goes home to sleep. He stayed in the leader of the gang's house.
Another thing the gang does was Armed robbery, which Drey never knew about when he joined. One night, one of them brought a piece of information about a man who had just taken a huge amount of money to his house. The gang dressed up and covered their faces with masks. The leader of the gang told Drey to wait behind to watch over the house. Also because he is a novice and knew nothing about robbery. They went on the operation, they stole the man's money and came back to their house.
Drey screamed on seeing the ten (10) million naira cash they stole from the man. Shut up "the leader shouted at him". I will follow you for the next operation "Drey said". They shared the money and gave Drey his little share.
After that night, Drey was very anxious to go for another robbery. Fortunately for him, they got another robbery. As a first-time robber, they didn't give Drey a gun. They all covered their faces as usual and went for the robbery. On getting to the house they wanted to rob, they started hitting the door trying to break it down. The owner refused to open the door and called the police immediately.
They shot the door with their guns, but the door was strongly built and didn't break. They told Drey to hit the door with a plank of wood. While hitting, the police arrived. The other members of the gang were experts, immediately they heard the sound of the police arrival, they fled over the fence and ran away. Only Drey was left behind, he ran but couldn't fly the fence. He tried his best but he was shot in his leg by the police. They arrested him and took him to their custody.
The following day, he led the police to the gang's house, but unfortunately, they were all gone. They ran out of the area because they knew Drey was going to sell them to the police. The police thought he was fooling them, they dealt with him and locked him up.
Thanks to my sponsors, they are the motivation behind my writings.That was how Drey ended up being a convict just because he wanted to feel among and do what other boys do.
I used to be a good boy "he said" when he was narrating his story on TV. He was released 10 years after he got locked up. He is now a changed man and wants people to learn from his story.
Lesson:
Parents should find time to stay with their children. Children don't learn in school alone, they learn from their parents as well. If his parents were always there for him, that might not have happened.
