When Funbi walked into the room and found her father hanging from the ceiling, her world collapsed. Considering everything he’d been through, from a crushing HIV diagnosis (which turned out to be false, by the way!) to a life of constant hardship, it was easy to believe he just couldn’t take it anymore.

Or so we thought.

A suicide… or something more sinister?
Initially, it seemed like a tragic but clear-cut case of suicide. Life had thrown too many punches, and Lekan didn’t have the strength to dodge anymore. But then came the curveball, a supposed parting note he left for Funbi. When she showed the letter to her mum, Segilola, things took a sharp turn. Segilola took one look at it and said, "This is not your father’s handwriting." Boom. Just like that, the suicide story started to unravel.

The suspect list begins
With the handwriting revelation, the conspiracy theories kicked in fast. Was Lekan actually murdered? And if so… who did it? Funbi and Segilola had their eyes on one person: Kolapo. Why Kolapo? Well, let’s just say the man had a habit of making Lekan’s life hell at the motor park. Oh, and he also had a not-so-subtle interest in Segilola. Enough motive? Maybe not in court, but definitely enough for Segilola and Funbi to channel their inner detectives (and kidnappers) and tie Kolapo up for questioning.

From tough guy to terrified
At first, Kolapo came in guns blazing, all bravado and legal threat, but that energy didn’t last long once he saw the fire in Funbi’s eyes. She wasn’t playing. After some intense interrogation (and several death glares), Kolapo gave an alibi: he was at a bar with a friend when Lekan died. Naturally, Funbi called the friend. And guess what? The friend confirmed it. Ugh. Plot twist.
So, if Kolapo didn’t do it… who did?

One mystery, many questions
With Kolapo off the suspect list (for now), the murder mystery has cracked wide open. Who forged the note? Who wanted Lekan dead badly enough to make it look like suicide? And why?
One thing’s for sure: Funbi isn’t stopping until she finds out the truth, even if it means dragging half of Ajakoro into the investigation.
