Good day, #everyone. The story still continues. Remain entertained as you await the next part.

Following their brief respite, the men resumed their activities. 

Unfortunately, upon Digboluja's departure to enlist the assistance of courageous men, 

the remaining individuals arose and commenced walking in the direction of the hunted moose. 

They encountered the moose that Digboluja had hunted and left in the forest, prompting immense astonishment. 

The men were perplexed, questioning one another about the identity of the individual who could have hunted such a formidable wild game and abandoned it in the forest. 

This was a feat unprecedented in the history of Abule-Egba. 

As they pondered, they deduced that Digboluja was responsible for hunting the wild game; 

however, they were astonished to find the hunted moose unattended. 

The men perceived this as an opportunity to garner dignity and honor within the village, particularly with the King's endorsement. 

Consequently, they relocated the hunted moose from its original position, 

where Digboluja had placed it, and transported it to the village. 

Upon presenting the wild game to the village, 

everyone was astonished that it was not Digboluja, 

the village's most skilled hunter, who had accomplished the feat. 

The villagers exclaimed in disbelief, "What misery! No one has ever hunted such a massive wild game in the history of Abule-Egba!" 

The villagers lavished praise upon the hunters who had presented the wild game, 

and news of the event disseminated rapidly throughout the village, 

leaving the King in a state of wonder. 

Meanwhile, as the villagers discussed the wild game, 

Digboluja arrived and was informed of the developments. 

He was taken aback by the news and promptly proceeded to the palace to narrate the events to the King and other high-ranking officials. 

Upon arriving at the palace, he encountered the other hunters, whom the King had summoned to provide an account of the events surrounding the wild game. 

The hunters, who had ulterior motives, became apprehensive upon Digboluja's arrival. 

Despite their nervousness, they mustered the courage to present a fabricated narrative to the King and the assembled officials. 

Following their testimony, Digboluja seized the opportunity to recount his story, 

detailing how he had hunted the moose and his subsequent disappearance. 

Upon completing his narrative, everyone present, including the King, was astonished. 

The other hunters, now increasingly uncomfortable, beat a hasty retreat from the palace. 

The King pondered the possibility that Digboluja's hunted game had been claimed by his colleagues, 

acknowledging Digboluja's reputation as the most courageous and skilled hunter in the village. 

Despite his impeccable reputation, Digboluja's claims were met with skepticism due to the lack of concrete evidence. 

His attempts to introduce the courageous men from whom he sought help as witnesses were similarly unsuccessful.

As the matter remained unresolved, the King convened a village assembly to extol the bravery and vigilance of the hunters who had presented the wild game, 

unaware of the actual circumstances surrounding the event. 

This development greatly pleased the hunters.

However, they reconvened to expedite Digboluja's removal, thereby ensuring their unimpeded prominence. 

Thus, they resolved to execute him by strangulation during his next hunting excursion, minimizing potential detection. 

Unfortunately, Digboluja subsequently embarked on a hunting trip, 

unaware that his adversaries were cognizant of his movements and lay in wait within the forest, poised to intercept him.
