Korede Bello and Damilare Famuyiwa
It can be recalled that some fews ago, popular singer, Korede
Bello, was accused by his lecturers at the Nigerian Institute of
Journalism (NIJ) in Ogba, Lagos of missing his lectures, and even
threatened to resign if the Mavin records artiste took semester exams.
Bello later apologised during a meeting with the school’s management.
In an exclusive report by BlackBox Nigeria, a student of the
Institute, Damilare Famuyiwa, has allegedly been failed in the school's
recent examination for daring to leak a story incriminating the singer.
It was learnt that his offence was, attempting to report the
absence from school of the singer and a possible missing out of the
recently held examinations of the institute in accordance with the
school’s 70% class attedance rule.
The student, Damilare who is also a blogger was reportedly marked
down by the school's management over what it deemed an 'unfavourable
report'.
The big shocker came when the school results were posted on March
11th and Damilare was being handed carry-overs (failed) in two courses
while he also got low marks in others.
According to sources, the victim had earlier been threatened by the
management to face a hard time in passing out of the school which was
founded by former Lagos Governor, Alhaji Lateef Kayode Jakande.
While nobody is above failure, students say this is surprising
because the alleged victimised student was one of the most brilliant in
his class, while Korede Bello who rarely attended lectures or
participated in the Continous Assessment passed all his courses
glowingly.
It was gathered the victim is set to call for his scripts and
challenge the results as allowed by regulations guiding the school.
