A Nigerian teacher has advised parents to pay closer attention to their sons and male wards after recounting an incident that reportedly occurred at the school where she works.
According to her, an SS1 student suddenly went into distress and allegedly began foaming at the mouth while in school. The boy was later taken home, where he reportedly confessed that a classmate had given him a substance known locally as “colos” after he complained of having a headache.
The teacher further stated that the alleged classmate’s bag was searched, during which a substance suspected to be a hard drug was reportedly discovered.
Narrating the incident, the teacher wrote:
“I AM TRAUMATISED.
Today is one of those days I questioned my sojourn into public school.
This morning, an SS 1 male student was rushed into the staff room because he was convulsing and was behaving like he was going to dye the next minute. He even started foaming from the mouth. All the teachers became afraid and started doing everything to make him stable. Some were praying, others were looking for his parents’ contact to call them while others kept doing one thing or the other to keep him alive.
We eventually got one of us to drive him home with his classmates carrying him. Less than twenty minutes later, they returned and said that the boy just confessed that his “best friend”, his classmate gave him hard drug to consume.
Do you know the irony? One of the teachers who knew them to be best friends went to inquire from this same “best friend” what could have been wrong from the boy and he said that he complained of headache when he came to school this morning!!! He watched us scramble around to find a solution to the evil he gave to his ” best friend”!
How would we have known that a boy who is probably less than 15 years had already taken ” colos” as early as 9am?
We invited the boy over and started questioning him. We searched his bag and found hard drugs!!! The first one in powdered form, before the teacher could figure it out, he threw it.
