FESTUS IYAYI WAS SHOT BY POLICEMEN - SAHARA REPORTERS

An anonymous tipster has confided in SaharaReporters that Festus
Iyayi, a former president of the Academic Staff Union of Universities
(ASUU), was actually shot by policemen in the convoy of the Kogi State...

Governor, Captain Idris Wada, prior to the road accident in which he
supposedly died last week.
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.
SaharaReporters was first to reveal 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.
SaharaReporters 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.
