*THE ALLEGED FLOGGING OF A STUDENT IN UNILAG: THE REAL STORY*

*Our attention has been drawn to a false news (a picture) that is currently trending on Social Media about a lecturer in UNILAG flogging a student for coming late to his class. This story is far from the truth.*

*We the students of the Department of English, University of Lagos hereby state categorically that the caption in the circulating picture is false; it is not the true representation of what happened in the class.*
*Prof Adeyemi Daramola is one of the best and finest lecturers in our department. He is a father who jokes a lot with us like his children. And the alleged flogging was one of his jokes, as he didn't strike the girl but only demonstrated jokingly.*

*We are eyewitnesses to this event, and we hereby implore media outfits to always investigate their stories professionally before publishing them*.
