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.
The truth can not be hidden for too long.
ReplyDeleteAutopsy could have easily shown clearly the cause of his death. What a pity!
ReplyDeleteDat Doctor paul Amodu should be handed ova to d appropriate authorities,hw on earth will a doctor,nt be able to know an injury frm a bullet
ReplyDeleteDo not conclude things so easily. Are there no survivors in the accident or do you want to believe that they all passed out before the collision and thus did not know of a gun shot sound? Well, I guessed the anonymous informant may want to link the event to a government conspiracy.
