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.
It was reported last week that 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.

Erm.....am I shocked? Yet
do I believe? Not yet
why? This changes everything

Another dimension of the story.........

something pierced his heart........Yet the so-called doctor failed to tell exactly what the SOMETHING is?.........

Moreover,was AJayi alone in the car?.....I thought some other lecturers were with him of which one woman among them sustained a minor injury as the news had it........if so what has been delaying those lecturers to publicly say that Ajayi was shot by the Wada's policemen?.............or was he shot with a spiritual bullet that made other lecturers not to see it?

I'm not believing this for now till further notice......not that credulous...

If this news was tobe true then I wanna believe we would have heard about it when it happened.
