SYNOPSISS OF REAP-OFF RIP-OFF

In the compelling narrative of REAP-OFF RIP-OFF, President Lucky John of Naija, a West African nation devastated by kidnaps, shootings, and bombings orchestrated by the terrorist organization Sadam, takes drastic action based on advice from a controversial young graduate whom he appointed as his special advisor.
Regardless of the uproar from the country’s elite and political class, he decides to arrest all Christian clergy who seem indifferent to the nation’s plight, preoccupied with their church businesses, prophesying trivialities, and collecting offerings and seeds from the people.
President Lucky John takes a bold stance by arresting these clergies, holding them hostage, and eliminating them one after another each week. The stakes intensify as he issues a chilling ultimatum: the executions will persist until their God, who supposedly reveals all to them, exposes the terrorist group’s financiers and the infiltrators within the country’s army providing crucial information on evading capture.
As the devoted members of these clergies’ churches pour into the streets, their plight captures the attention of international bodies determined to curb President Lucky’s ruthless actions.
How far can President Lucky go in unraveling this mystery before the IME and ECOWAC move from sanctions to engaging the military?
Amidst the chaos, really, will President Lucky John lead the country to reap off the rip off orchestrated by the greed of the clergymen on the poor people?
