They’d kill me: JSS 1 boy begs parents in a letter not to be returned to school

Jubril Sadi Mato, a Junior Secondary School (JSS1) student begged her parents not to take her back to school, revealing that her schoolmates will kill her.

In a handwritten letter shared online, the student of Elkenemy College of Islamic Theology, Maiduguri raised concern that he would be killed if returned to the school.

ALLSCHOOL had reported that Sadi was severely stabbed in the neck by a senior student on January 16, 2022.

The stabbing incident which took place on January 16, 2022, saw Jibril rushed to the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH) where he battled for his life in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Hamza reported that the boy who suffered damages to his arteries nerves and trachea penned the handwritten letter upon regaining consciousness in the hospital.

Reacting to the incident, a family member who doesn’t want his name in print lamented that the ugly occurrence happened at a place that is supposed to be a safe haven for learning.

He knocked the teaching hospital for documenting falsehood as he said they stated in Jibril’s file that the child fell and got injured as against the actuality of being attacked by another student.

“We are happy that the Network for Civil Society Organisation Borno Chapters, Nigeria Bar Association(NBA), The National Human Right Commission(NHRC) And The Federation of International Female Lawyers(FIDA) have vowed to investigate the case to ensure that the perpetrator was brought to book.

“For us as a family, we want Justice for the poor child as we are also planning to take him to Egypt for proper medical attention,” a family member stated.
