EKO HOT BLOG reports that when Ariyo responded jokingly, stating the dustbin was purchased with students’ funds, the remark allegedly angered the teacher. This led to a complaint to the principal, who reportedly instructed the teacher to punish Ariyo.
Following this directive, the teacher allegedly administered 162 lashes with a cane, during which Ariyo collapsed. According to Adetoun, school staff were slow in getting Ariyo to the hospital, and he was declared dead upon arrival.
