Ariyo, a student of Obafemi Grammar School, died on Friday.
According to a video posted online by an activist, Justadetoun, the teacher took a trash can to Ariyo’s class and told the pupils not to break it, but the deceased jokingly replied to the teacher, saying the dustbin was bought with the students’ money.
She narrated that his response had offended the teacher, who reported it to the principal and received instructions to punish the deceased.
Justadetoun stated that Ariyo was flogged with 164 strokes of the cane and, in the process, collapsed to the ground.
