Adamu woke up with a start, and he took to his heels, claiming that something was on his trail?
The phrase “on his trail” means following him closely or chasing him. So when the sentence says:
“Adamu woke up with a start and took to his heels, claiming that something was on his trail,”
…it means Adamu ran away suddenly because he thought something was chasing him.
