Before MaaTsuru could unravel the fact, it was too late and she decided to accept her fate of taking Kpakpo as her second husband. Kpakpo deceives MaaTsuru and makes her to fall in love with him. This has been working for him until he met with one whose brother is a soldier and he forcefully asks Kpakpo to vacant the room paid for by his brother. Kpakpo rents his room out with the condition that he lives with his tenant. Through flashback in her words, Fofo reveals that due to the helpless situation her mother finds herself by marrying Kpakpo, a jobless and evil schemer, whose only inheritance is the one room he got from his father. In the office, it is agreed that Dina takes her home as she is a divorcee and has nobody to cater for, and they discover that she bears the name Fofo.Īfter recuperating from the beating she had received for speaking with a stranger, Fofo demands to have Kabria around before she can speak about herself and her dead sister. After waiting for a long time, Kabria sees the girl and feels pity for her as she takes her to her office, MUTE. The next day, Kabria repeats at the market just as she has told the young girl. Dina decides to give kabria a chance to work on the case. Kabria returns to her office and tells her colleagues what she had seen. Recovering from the shock, Kabria tells her to show up at the same spot the next day. She tells Kabria that she knew the dead girl and that she was her sister. At the car park, to Kabria’s amazement she realises that the young boy is a girl disguised as a boy. Kabria intervenes to save the boyfriend the wrath of the mob and quickly takes him out of their mist. At the market, Kabria held about the death of a young girl and her body left in front of a kiosk and that instance when she decides to find out the reason why people were gathered at a spot, a young boy swiftly steals her purse from her but caught up with by some members of the crowd surrounding her. To compensate for her late coming, Kabria decides to shop for Dina in Agbogbloshie. On a particular day, Kabria got to work late and Dina got sad about it. Kabria works for MUTE, a non-governmental organisation with Dina as the boss. Not minding the inquisitive nature of her last two children, Kabria is able to meet all the cooking and get to work in her car called Creamy. For her, this is a herculean task which her husband intuitively believes is her sole responsibility. On the other hand, the Adade’s family is presented with Kabria in her usual routine of taking care of house chores and taking her children (Obie, Essie and Ottu) to school. Odarley feels that Fofo has shot her out of her mind and affairs, when Fofo tells her that she will be on her way to only God know where. MaaTsuru has been in a cold war with Fofo and is handicapped with words to change Fofo’s mind. She tells her mother of Poison’s unwholesome act on her and that she has decided to leave town. In her mother’s room, Fofo gets informed that Baby T, her elder sister’s body is found dead at a site in the market, Agbogbloshie. After being freed from the stronghold of Poison, Fofo decides to pay her mother a visit, but not without the company of her friend, Odarley. Right there in the middle of the night, Poison suddenly came upon her forcefully and abused her sexually. Fofo is seen sleeping out late at night in front of a kiosk, so that she will meet up an appointment for a job. Some engage in hawking, stealing or prostitution as a means of survival. Some are seen to pay for the day hours while others pay for night hours. In Sodom and Gomorrah, young girls and boys of Fofo’s age are seen trying to survive all by themselves. With focus on the heroine of the work, Fofo, we realise how the spate of poverty in the society where the woman is left to provide for her children, forces mothers to push their young girls into the streets. The patriarch society which the work presents to us shows great imbalance in the way and manner the females fare in the story vis-a-vis their male counterparts. The work, Faceless by AmmaDarko hinges on the victimization of the female folk by the domineering influence of masculinity.
