The group had been travelling for days, and they were beginning to feel the fatigue of the journey. They had been so focused on reaching their destination that they had not noticed the signs of danger that were lurking around them.
It was late in the afternoon when they finally noticed the signs. They heard the sound of horses galloping in the distance, and they knew that they were being followed. They quickly hid in the bushes and waited for the danger to pass.
The group was relieved when the horses galloped past them, but their relief was short-lived. As they watched, a group of men on horseback stopped in the distance and began to search the area. The group knew that they had been spotted and that they were in danger.
The men on horseback were soldiers of the Sultanate of Sokoto, and they were searching for anyone who had escaped from the city. The group knew that if they were caught, they would be taken back to the city and punished.
The group quickly decided that their only option was to run. They ran as fast as they could, and soon they were out of sight of the soldiers. They had managed to escape their first encounter with danger, but they knew that they would not be so lucky next time.
