Overview
From the suburb of Esa-Odo community in Osun state to the Army recruitment depot in Zaria and to the 82 Division of the Nigerian Army into a long term awaiting trial at Abakaliki prison. Ojo Makajuola is a victim of circumstance that must pass through terrible challenges in life to free himself and his mother from a seemingly cursed life. He lost his drunkard father at childhood; his mother was disowned by her family for getting pregnant to a non Muslim and a palm wine tapper for that matter. A jobless mother and Son must toil hard to survive together; they have no one else to lean on. The mother plaits people's hair for money. Ojo joined the Army after nine gruesome months at the recruitment depot; he planned to bring his mother to start a new life in Enugu. But when he was paid all his accrued salaries and allowances as a young Soldier, he bought a used Peugeot 504 Salon Car to go home and bring his mother. He did not know it was a stolen car, the owner was robbed and killed and the police had been on the look out for the culprits. Can Ojo's uniform save him from prison? Will his frail mother survive this heart wrecking misfortune?
