‘We Are Coming For Your Funeral’, Boko Haram student threatens teacher

A female teacher (name withheld) in one of the private owned secondary schools in Maiduguri, the Borno state capital has been sent packing when one of her students told her that they will soon be going for her (teacher) funeral.

According to eye witness in the school (name withheld), the student who went to meet the teacher, confidently asked her if she was aware of the recent happenings in the state about the killings of some female teachers in some schools.

The teacher according to eye witness said “Of course, I am aware. It was in the news,’ she added.

“Ok. We are also going to come for your funeral” the student told her to her face.

Our correspondent gathered that, when the teacher heard that, she broke into tears and ran to the school authorities who called on the student, asking her repeatedly on the same subject for about five times. She repeated the same threat in Hausa, affirming that they were coming for the teacher’s funeral.

The eye witness who pleaded not to be mentioned in print disclosed that the school had expelled the student, but that he was not sure whether the matter will end at the expulsion of the student as the teacher was also said to have told some of her confidants that, she is indeed leaving the state as a result of the threat.
