First and foremost I treat the
identities of both communities as anonymous. Community clashes is a frequent
phenomenon in many parts of the country. For
unknown reasons fight erupts without warning; so it happened in
a particular community. some rascals took a boy to this community and killed him there.
The community woke up to see
corpse in their land. They quickly concluded that the rival community did it. The
community chairman was furious, and went back to the drawing board to plan a
counterattack. Then a clear plan emerged.
In the evening of the following
day he threw a birthday party. A lot of guests were invited. The DJ started to
thrill the audience with melodious and romantic tunes. Drinks were many, food
was surplus. In the midst of this, the chairman mobilized his boys and launched
an attack on the rival community. They were successful. The other community was
caught napping. The following day report was made at the station about the surprise
attack. The one fingered for the offense, slipped away without guilt. It was
difficult for the police to believe the story since the chairman had his
birthday the night of the attack. Indeed, the birthday party was used as an
excuse, a smokescreen or scam to carry out the attack.
