Madam Koikoi

 


Power in a typical secondary school lies with the principal and the board of directors. However, Ada quickly learned her new school was different. On her first day at the boarding school, she heard about the literature teacher, Miss Linda, aka Madam Koikoi. She was nickname miss Koikoi because of the sound her stilettos made. Cold and relentless, she instilled fear in students and teachers alike, ruling with an iron fist and rumor had it that fist had met with several faces. Days passed, and Ada struggled to fit in while also staying on her best behavior to avoid Madam Koikoi's wrath. 

One night in her dormitory, some girls vented their frustrations about Miss Koikoi's cruelty and invited Ada to join their plan to deal with her. Eager to fit in, she agreed. Their plan involved ambushing her after night inspection. Ada felt grateful that Miss Koikoi's terrible nature led her to new friends.The next day, the girls reminded Ada of their plan, and she realized they were serious. Paired with one girl, they went into the bushes to dig a hole for Miss Koikoi. After 20 minutes, they saw the other girls dragging Madam Linda's bloodied body. Fearing for her life, Ada aided in burying Miss Koikoi's body, and they swore to keep silent about it. They covered their tracks and returned  to the dormitory as if nothing had happened.


Days later, following Madam Linda's disappearance and failed police investigation, some of the girls involved in her death vanished, later found in the same gruesome manner. Soon, only Ada and her digging partner were left. They met at night and decided to confess before they too disappeared. Suddenly, they heard stilettos clicking in the hallway. Peeking out, they saw disfigured Miss Koikoi approaching. They locked the door and hid behind the beds. But before they could comprehend the situation, Miss Koikoi burst in, grabbed the other girl by the neck, and violently dismembered her before turning to Ada. Later, the other girl’s body was found brutally disfigured while Ada was barely alive. She was babbling on the way to the hospital saying 


“ Miss Koikoi is coming “



The tale of miss koikoi is a well known story which originated from Nigeria. It depicts a vengeful spirit of a woman who carries her rage on students who killed her and any other student who bears resemblance to her perpetrators or break school rules.
