The novel “Indigenes of Elusive World” narrates the life of Junior, a young boy who experienced the loss of his father at an early age when he had little understanding of death. In accordance with local customs, the family adhered to traditions before laying the deceased to rest. Junior then relocated to Aba with his generous aunt, who provided him with care and support. However, the joyous atmosphere was short-lived due to the tense environment prevailing during that period, leading to widespread rumours of kidnappings and killings. In response to the kidnapping of the aunt’s only daughter, Angel, Junior and his aunt decided to return to the village. This decision marked a turning point, as they found themselves compelled to unravel the mystery surrounding the kidnappers: their identities, operating location, sponsors, and the reasons behind their elusiveness. The quest for answers raised the question of who truly constituted the indigenes of this elusive world.
