Yunus Olarenwaju, father to the female student who was among those brutally flogged in Kwara state, says he supports the school’s action.

On Sunday, a video showing some students of Musbaudeen Al Islamy Arabic School, Ganmo in Ifelodun LGA, being subjected to intense beating had surfaced online.

The students were said to have attended a birthday party and reportedly took alcohol during the outing.

The clip had provoked a wave of backlash on social media, as many Nigerians condemned the handling of the students by the school authorities.

Amid the outrage, the state government had suspended the head of the Islamic school and ordered a probe of the incident.

But in an interview with BBC Pidgin, Olarenwaju said he was the one who requested that his daughter should be punished after he saw a video of her at the birthday party.

“It was my son in Lagos that sent the video of my daughter among boys that were drinking alcoholic drinks inside hotel and the incident really made me sad,” he said.

“I informed the school about the incident and I personally requested that they should give her the appropriate punishment. I also insisted that I must be present when they are carrying out the punishment.”

Olarenwaju said he had known the Islamic school for over 20 years, adding that eight of his children had graduated from the Arabic institution.

The Islamic school had earlier justified the brutal flogging of the students while adding that their actions were un-Islamic.

We have heard you disciplinarian father , but u should know as a father u have limitations to the extent of maltreatment u can give to a child even if you are the father , u can not destroy a child self esteem and make him or her feel less of an animal in the name of fatherhood. They are other legal was of disciplining a child , as much as I don't support her clubbing I also know support the maltreatment two wrong can not make a right

Mental slavery is worse than cancer and AIDS joined together.

Ask the father if the Arabic school would dare flog the daughter of a wealthy man even in this manner.

Nice one folks. As long as you abōki/aphonjas keep it to yourselves in the north, no wahala.

Make una enjoy

The students were said to have attended a birthday party and reportedly took alcohol during the outing.
“It was my son in Lagos that sent the video of my daughter among boys that were drinking alcoholic drinks inside hotel and the incident really made me sad,” he said.

What is bad is bad!
This is bad!!

The clip had provoked a wave of backlash on social media, as many Nigerians condemned the handling of the students by the school authorities.

Concerned Nigerians.

The government has also taken the affected students to a public hospital for proper medical examination and treatment. This is to ensure that none of them suffers any physical or psychological damage.
“The government appeals for calm while the committee does its works and submits a report for further action.

Government on top of the situation.

Amid the outrage, the state government had suspended the head of the Islamic school and ordered a probe of the incident.

State Government stepped in.

According to a Twitter user, @EkunStoner, the students were severely beaten because they went to a friend’s birthday party. 
He said pictures of the birthday celebration were posted online. However, their teacher saw the post and thought they drank alcohol.
These Muslim brothers and sister went to celebrate one of their friends on his birthday, so they posted this picture and their Alfa saw it. He thought they drank alcohol, but they only had Yoghurt," he said. 

Hm, another angle to the story.
Nigerians and tales sha!

But in an interview with BBC Pidgin, Olarenwaju said he was the one who requested that his daughter should be punished after he saw a video of her at the birthday party.

The father spoke and justified the action.

“I informed the school about the incident and I personally requested that they should give her the appropriate punishment. I also insisted that I must be present when they are carrying out the punishment.”

Very few fathers will do this.
He justified himself.

Olarenwaju said he had known the Islamic school for over 20 years, adding that eight of his children had graduated from the Arabic institution.

He even vouch for the school.
Tending towards the path that a bad egg should not disgrace his family.

The Islamic school had earlier justified the brutal flogging of the students while adding that their actions were un-Islamic.

Allahu Akbar!

And please go to hell with your useless signature

Okay

All The Best

There are ways you treat your children, it becomes a case of the government and not the parents.
Yes, the father supported the treatment but the law is saying something different as this is a case of battery and not discipline.

Stupid father and stupid teachers with blackheads..

Can you imagine what a stupid father is saying, justifying stupidity and allowing nonsense to come out of his mouth...

So because she drank alcohol, she should be killed with flogging...

The father is a mere illiterate;he's forgotten that he's child is also a property of the state.

4 to 1 flogging. Idiotic father

Nobody said don’t flog bt the flogging was to much. It was human abuse.
