The Exchange.

Bang! Bang!! Bang!!! Who is in this house? Open this door!

This was the unusual noise that woke the family of five. The family live in a room apartment (popularly called face me, I face you).

Before the man of the house could respond, the door was kicked in leaving splinters of wood flying in every direction.

A gang of armed robbers marched into the apartment. The wife huddled in a corner with her three kids and the man of the house standing like a hen protecting her chicks.

"Where is the money?" asked the leader of the gang.

"There's no money Sir" responded the man of the house.

A resounding slap was the response he got from the leader and the interrogation continued.

Suddenly gunshots were heard from a distance, which was followed by shouts from other gang members outside "Ndi eke! Ndi eke!" (meaning police! Police!).

The robbers quickly left the room and in their haste to get away they carried a bag of old clothes that was by the door of the room, leaving behind their bag of stolen money in the room.
