A male teacher was killed after gunmen believed to be linked to extremist militants raided a residential compound targeting educators.
Witness accounts presented to investigators indicated that the attackers first forced their way into the house of a female teacher during the pre-dawn hours.
She was interrogated and compelled to disclose the whereabouts of male teachers in the compound.
The information allegedly led the assailants to the home of the male teacher who attempted to flee but was shot and killed moments later.
The victim had previously survived threats and attacks and had repeatedly sought transfer, citing security fears.
Despite warnings and intelligence reports shared among teachers the fatal assault occurred when he was caught off guard at his residence.
Colleagues described a pattern where male teachers routinely sought refuge in police posts and administrative offices during periods of heightened risk.
The latest killing has intensified fear among educators, many of whom are now seeking immediate redeployment.
Family members said the deceased was the sole provider and had plans to relocate to a safer area with his young family.
His death has left dependants facing uncertainty as calls grow for institutional accountability.
Teachers' unions and local leaders have urged the Teachers Service Commission to urgently relocate non-local staff and increase recruitment of local teachers.
Authorities have launched investigations as security agencies intensify patrols, while education stakeholders warn that continued delays could further endanger lives.
