Once Upon a Time in Africa

In the book, Once Upon a Time in Africa, an area of humble African village is overwhelmed by thieves and raiders. In an effort to fight back, black magic and brutality become the sources of power and control that punish these evil doers. A vigilante group called the Assibak acts as the law while at the same time they are shrewdly used as a pawn for political gain. Their savage acts are excused by a vow to protect the innocent and slay the wicked. When vengeful opposition fights back, acts of retaliation get gruesomely out of hand. Will the Assibak continue to bring murderers to justice? Or will they be brought down by other emerging vigilante powers and the human rights activists?
