Abuja: Dark City (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798300635718)

Abuja is a collection of stories about a city full of soulless billionaires, corrupt cops, and debauched desires.
Dark City is a tale that follows Abe Adeniyi, a powerful and ruthless businessman's meteoric rise to wealth. Abe is a cruel businessman who sees the world as his domain. As he looks down from a high-rise building, he reflects on his power, past victories, and the cruelty he has inflicted on others, including Onome, a woman he caused to suffer and whose death he feels was not enough punishment.
The second story Snake Eyes focuses on the character Oke Nwokolo, a retired Commissioner of Police grappling with the repercussions of his morally corrupt past and his present-day miseries.

Dark Desires is a story about Mabo, a handsome wealthy, closeted man who exploits the young.

Dark Emotions presents the tale of Abigail, a young prostitute, determined to survive on the streets of Abuja against all odds.

Hands of Fate is a vivid portrayal of Nonso, a transvestite prostitute, whose life has been marked by rejection, trauma, and an unending quest for love and acceptance in a world that refuses to understand him. The narrative delves deep into the psychological scars left by societal ostracism and personal betrayals. It also paints a stark picture of the harsh realities faced by those who live on the fringes of society, struggling with their identities while trying to survive.

The Usurper is an intriguing story that blends elements of domestic life, suspense, and a hint of the supernatural. The narrative introduces Mary, a seemingly perfect maid with hidden intentions, who infiltrates the Makun household. Her character is depicted as both diligent and cunning, gradually gaining the trust and affection of the family members, especially the children and Mr. Makun.
