INT. THE DPO’S OFFICE, NIGERIA POLICE STATION - CONTINUOUS
Femi is standing beside the Deputy Police Officer (DPO) of the station, who is GRACEFULLY seated behind a desk in a WELL-APPOINTED office, with blinds covering the windows, shielding the room from the burning sunlight of Lagos. On the wall behind the DPO are framed photographs of President Muhammadu Buhari, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode and IGP Solomon Arase.
The DPO is looking at someone off-camera.

AYAKPAT
(to someone off-camera) This is a case of murder.
Fixed on a gold name-plate on the desk, with a name engraved in it, which reads “MOHAMMED AYAKPAT”.
Mr. AYAKPAT, an AVERAGELY-HANDSOME middle-aged man, in corporate civilian clothes, is HURRIEDLY flipping through pages of a brown paperback file, in search of something.
The DPO finally stops flipping through, and reads through the content of the document in front of him. Now we see who the DPO is talking to: Chioma.
CHIOMA
I don’t understand.
Chioma is seated on one of the two guest chairs, on the other side of the desk. She’s dressed in an EXTREMELY tight blue denim, and a completely unbuttoned Jean jacket of SAME color, revealing a black body-fitting singlet on the inside.
AYAKPAT (to Chioma)
We found finger prints left on your phone that doesn’t belong to either you or the deceased. This means someone else was at the accident scene, who is still alive as we speak.
AYAKPAT (CONT’D) (looking at the document)
That person, when apprehended, will be charged with the murder of Mister Uche, and your attempted murder as well.
CHIOMA (extremely confused)
But I was there. Uche ran his car into a wall, with me in the passenger’s seat. Nobody else was there, or were we followed?
