Falana vows to pursue Iyayi’s death in court

Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), yesterday, vowed to pursue the circumstances surrounding the death of the President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Professor Festus Iyayi in court.

He disclosed this while addressing journalists over Iyayi's
death.

Iyayi died in a road accident on Okene -Lokoja Road
when the convoy of Kogi State Governor, Idris Wada
rammed into his car.

He was on his way to Kano for a National Executive
Council meeting of ASUU when the accident occurred.

Falana, who noted that the death of the late don is a
"personal loss," said the leadership of ASUU and the
family of the deceased have given him the mandated to
pursue the matter in court.

According to him, the case will serve as a deterrent to
other road users who are in the habit of harassing other
road users through reckless driving and use of sirens.

He also stated that other political office holders should
take a cue from Lagos State Governor, Babatunde
Faashola who moves about without a siren despite his
busy schedules and the chaotic situation of traffic in the
city of Lagos.
