Wasabi added that his mother informed one of his uncles, who came from Ibadan to cane him in Osogbo.
He said: “My mum was upset I was not taking school seriously. She called one of my uncles, he said ‘Do not worry I will be in Osogbo tomorrow’.
“I was the one who opened the gate for him and assisted him in carrying his load from his car. I knew what he came for.
“He sat down, drank water, and said ‘Bring your report card’. He went through all the courses and said, ‘You failed physics, you did not do well in mathematics. Lie down there.’ And I knew what my fate was then. It was crazy.”
