There are several stories that tell the origin of Madam Koi Koi.
Nigeria In Nigeria, she was depicted as a stylish secondary school teacher, known for her beauty and her red heels. Whenever she walked through the hallways, her shoes would make a “koi koi” sound, which is where the name
Madam Koi Koi comes from. It was also said that she was extremely cruel to students and would beat them for no reason. She was dismissed after slapping a female student and damaging her ear. On her journey back home, she was involved in an accident and died. Before her death, she swore that she would take revenge on the school and its students. Not long after, students at the secondary school claimed that at night they could hear a “koi koi” sound in the dormitory hallways after lights out, as though high heels were clicking against the floor. In another version of the tale, she was described as a particularly wicked teacher who
flogged her students at every opportunity. Some said she was a sadist who used her position as a teacher as an excuse to inflict extreme pain and suffering whenever she pleased. Her students, exhausted by the school management’s failure to discipline her, decided to take matters into their own hands. One night, as she was leaving the school, the students cornered her, gagged her to prevent her from screaming, and beat her mercilessly, killing her. Realising what they had done, they threw her body over the school’s back fence and fled, hoping witnesses would believe the injuries were caused by an armed robber. Gradually, every student involved disappeared, except for the one who struck her with the shoe. He repeatedly told everyone what he and the others had done and claimed that he heard the sound of high heels clacking through his hostel every night, believing it meant she was coming for him. However, no one believed him. One night, he decided to investigate the source of the sound, but he was beaten to death, and his body was found the following morning. The school was eventually shut down, and all the students were transferred to new schools. They later spread the legend to their new schools. It is said that she still walks the hostel corridors at night, tormenting students and causing anyone who looks at her to disappear. ==Activities==
