The pastor and district commissioner meet, then the messengers invite the leaders of Umuofia to meet with him. Okonkwo is among the six leaders called to meet with the District Commissioner. Under the guise of hearing their story, twelve men that the commissioner has called in arrest the leaders of Umuofia. They are told they will be released as soon as they pay a fine of two hundred bags of cowries.
