Description

Passing-Out Parade in Mankilla In a forest somewhere, three kidnapped people face the worst of torture meted out by students of Boko Haram Bomb Academy as part of their practical requirements for graduation. Things soon get out of hand with dire consequences for students, abductees and everyone in a thrilling series of events that will enrapture audiences and readers. "Passing-Out Parade in Mankilla paints a human picture of one of Nigeria's major security travails. It shows evil in raw form and tries to win empathy for people in a situation we might not give attention to-until we [God forbid!] become victims. Indeed, it shows us all as victims...but there is hope. Or is there?" S. Su'eddie Vershima Agema, multiple award-winning author of Memory and the Call of Waters (Winner, Association of Nigerian Authors Poetry Prize 2022 and Finalist, Nigeria Prize for Literature 2022)
