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.
