The
death of the former President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities
(ASUU), Festus Iyayi, has continued to cause outcry in the country and his
kinsmen are not left out. According
to reports, members of Professor Iyayi’s home community speaking through their
traditional ruler, Samuel Obade I, the Onojie of Ugbegunland, are demanding
that a compensation of N50 billion be paid to the family of the late professor
by the Kogi State governor, Captain Idris Wada.
The
former ASUU president died earlier this week in a crash caused by reckless
driving on the part of some members of the governor’s convoy.
Vanguard reports:
The community in a letter dated November 13, to the Executive
Secretary, National Human Rights Commission, Abuja, on the death of its son in
an automobile accident with the governor’s security details, called for a
thorough investigation for Nigerians to know the actual cause of Iyayi’s death.
This came as eminent Nigerians, including the supervising Minister of
Education, Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, continued to lament the untimely and tragic
death of Professor Festus Iyayi
