Explanation
The play is about the corrupt acts of public servants and their collaborators. In the play we see how people thrive on corruption and suffer the consequences of their acts. Chief Haladu Ade-Amaka is corruption personified. He collaborates with others to carry out the corrupt activities in the play. Characters, like Madam Hoha, Ochuole and Aloho are willing tools in his hands. He also enjoys protection from representatives of the law, such as the Commissioner of Police and Justice Odili.
There are also a string of boys who are paid to work for Chief Ade-Amaka from time to time. His exalted position as the Minister of External Relations notwithstanding, Chief Ade-Amaka engages in criminal acts, such as the falsification of financial figures, authorisation for payment of capital items not purchased and the exploitation of girls. Worse, still, is his involvement in drug trafficking, an illicit business for which he recruits yound, unsuspecting girls like Aloho to carry it out.
