THE STREETS HUNTERS.

the bustling streets of Lagos, Nigeria, there was a group of six friends who had always stuck together through thick and thin. Wole, Daniel, Joy, John, Jude, and Collins were all hardworking individuals who had found their place in the world working for a prestigious organization.

However, one day everything changed when Jude introduced them to the world of street business. At first, they were hesitant, but the allure of easy money and excitement proved to be too enticing for them to resist. They made the decision to leave their daily jobs and embark on a new journey as street hunters.

Joy, being the only female in the group, was assigned the task of spying on potential targets. She embraced her role with determination, knowing that her skills as a stealthy observer would be crucial in their new line of work.

As they delved deeper into the underground world of street business, their morals began to blur and their actions became more ruthless. They learned how to drink and smoke, and even sought out local charms for protection.

Their days were spent roaming the streets with dark intentions, preying on unsuspecting Lagos State citizens through fraud, theft, and pickpocketing. They became embroiled in a web of deceit and crime, their once close-knit bond slowly unraveling as they chased after money and power.

It wasn’t long before their illicit activities caught the attention of the authorities. One fateful day, the police gang finally caught up to them, resulting in the arrest of five of the notorious thieves. Joy, the one who had always been the most cautious and vigilant, managed to evade capture and escape to another state.

When she received news of the arrest of her friends, a wave of sadness and regret washed over her. She realized that the path they had chosen had led them to a tragic end. The five thieves were sentenced to death by firing squad at the Bar Beach in Victoria Island, their lives snuffed out in a blaze of gunfire.

As Joy reflected on the choices they had made, she knew that the streets were a dangerous place where one wrong move could lead to dire consequences. The allure of easy money and excitement had blinded them to the true cost of their actions, and now they were paying the ultimate price.

In the end, Joy vowed to leave behind the life of crime and seek redemption for herself and her friends, wherever they may be. She knew that the streets were an open place where one could do business with an open mind, but it was also a place where dark intentions could lead to a tragic fate.

And so, she set out on a new journey, determined to make amends for the sins of the past and find her place in a world where honesty and integrity were worth more than any amount of money or power.
