And disappointed he was. For he was confronted by unsightly community in the clutches of corruption and superstition.In a moment too soon, Ekoyata found it hard to believe that his father, Egbe, was a member of a caucus and could give him as a ransom for his image. Also revealed was the top secret of the willful neglect of Iyala because the strong caucus benefited from confusion, with a long history of assassinations. Until he was warned about his honesty of purpose, Ekoyata did not know that he had taken the central stage in the fight and campaign against the caucus. Was he also going to be the next victim of assassination?It was the beginning of a misery that would sit Ekoyata on he keg of peril with the thrill of romance, adventure and keen justice.
