A secret informant has told Sahara reporters
that former ASUU President Professor Festus
Iyayi who reportedly died in a fatal car crash
involving Kogi State Governor’s convoy was
killed by policemen.
The source claimed that the injuries found on
the late writer’s chest were consistent with
gunshot injuries and that a bullet did pierce his
heart.
One Dr. Paul Amodu of the Specialist Hospital
in Lokoja had revealed that Professor Iyayi died
after “something” pierced his chest, but he
didn’t specify what it was.
It can be recalled that it was revealed last week
said the popular professor and writer died in a
collision with a security vehicle in Governor
Wada’s convoy.
Sources at ASUU said they had dissuaded
Iyayi’s family from a “rushed” burial, as they
suspected foul play. One of the sources recalled
that another former president of ASUU, Dr.
Mahmood Tukur, also died in suspicious
circumstances on the Kaduna-Zaria highway,
with the police claiming he died of an asthma
attack because he ate pepper which, they
claimed, triggered it.
Our source spoke with Prof. Iyayi’s son, Omole,
regarding the latest information, but he said the
family was unaware, and that they do not even
have the autopsy performed yet.
A press statement issued by the Nigerian
Medical Association (NMA)signed by its
President Osahom Enabulele has previously
called for a special inquiry into Professor Iyayi’s
death but the statement didn’t say if the
doctors found that Iyayi may been shot as
alleged by the anonymous source.
