Former President of Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Dr. Festus
Iyayi, was killed this afternoon in a fatal auto accident in Lokoja, on his way to
Kano state for a meeting of the National Executive Council (NEC) of ASUU where
the union is expected to call off its four month old strike.
It's being reported that the convoy of the Governor of Kogi State, Mr.
Idris Wada, rammed into the vehicle conveying Professor Iyayi and some
members of the union to Kano. The university don who is also a popular writer, died on the scene while two other occupants of the vehicle were injured.

RIP my dear Prof. Lost ur life fighting for the future of our youths who political office holders recklessly care less about. It is high tym the reckless driving of the convoy of these criminals in high political offices was checked. Innocent lives are lost and other road users intimidated , chased off d road & killed by people they voted into office. Did the Gov stop when it happend? Bastards!

@Special, u r indeed heartless,aside d fact that u r conspicuously bereaved of sagacity u r also practically empty...ur father must be one of doze unscrupulous persons looting d treasury of d state and work d street wit impunity.....pathetic enough u invited God into diz......learn 2 use ur empty skul....
Shit mennnnn.....what a bad news.....does dis means we ar going 2 stay at home longer than necessary????? Oh God d time has come 4 u 2 deliver naija our fada land, dis one dat intelligent personality ar beginning 2 die becos of meetings 2 call off strike. Hmmm may his gentle soul rest in peace. Sister pls post my comment...hahaha
They loot our treasury with impunity and drive on d road like lunatics to d extent of killing innocent people with their recklessness. God will visit our political office holders with His wrath except they change from their wickedness.
Government should stop dis convoy tin, wot rubbish.... rip sir
I luv d caption...former ASUU president killed in a car crash.......exactly wot it iz......politically motivated cleansing.....
Rosie Said......... OMG what kind of story is this? Who is safe in this our God forsaken country? You fly,plane crash,you use boat,it will capsize, you go by road,if you don't die because of the bad road,government convoy will fly into you and kill you.Lord have mercy.To Prof Iyayi's family,friends and professional colleagues,may God give you peace,that peace that passeth all understanding.N/B.....All those lamenting about the strike how Prof Iyayi's death is gonna prolong it, don't you guys have brain? A man just lost his life suddenly for your sake,show some sensitivity pls.
Wada has taken Iyayi. Very sad & may he rest in peace.
OMG!!! Dats a prof of my sch UNIBEN!!! Heard my lecturer, d current ASUU chairman Dr. Moye was involed n is in coma nw!!! God plz save him! He personally came 2 class 2 tell us on d 1st july 2 tell us y asuu was goin on strike!
Is it only me seeingdat dis was a planned atteck???? How can a car ur conveying with ram into you? Only d Prof died d oda passengers didn't???? Only God can judge us.....
Always lokoja Road, RIP.............. And the Strike continues
which patriots? If u dont knw d meaning of dat word, check it up. May his soul rest in peace
Hope it does not affect the negotiation process. May he rest in peace
@anon 8:42 I second ur comment, I think.the strike should be called off but d resumption date should b shifted to january, cause they will start rushing students and it doesn't mk sense to travel back to school and still travel back home again for d holiday with this our bad road,for those of us that schools far from home its not safe!
OMG!!! He died for our sake*sobs*..RIP sir...
Ok......I think I knw d plans of d enemies of country progress....they want students 2 start dying of high blood pressure b4 dey will call off strike but our God will not allow it. Naija pls dis is d perfect time 2 go 2 God in prayers ooooo(RIP) Prof Festus
Oh my God,may his soul rest in de bossom of our creator,so sad 2 hear #crying#

We need to go beyond the RIP messages and ask for people responsible to be charged with manslaughter. Until people start going to jail, others will not learn and drive responsibly. Rubbish!!!

Our state monarchs (governors) and their craze for reckless driving.In january 2013 ,my car was almost driven down a cliff on the Ideato highway by Gov Okorocha's convoy because he was rushing down to Owerri for the daughter's wedding.A few months later,he suffered a worse fate when he fatally injured his neck in an auto crash on that same road.May God grant Prof Iyayi eternal rest in his bosom
May his gentle soul rest in peace
May his soul rest in peace. But inspite of this current misfortune, the meeting should go on and the strike be called off so that iyayi death shouldn't be in vain...that is what he would have wanted.
prof iyayi u had a good heart its so sad u went like dis. D faculty of mgs scs ll miss u, d dept. of biz admin ll miss u uniben as a whole ll miss u. We lost a hero. RIP.
I understand that Uniben chapter of ASUU voted for the strike to continue,hence Prof.Iyayi was heading to Kano to push for continuation till God knows when!Is it not a very wicked,insensitive and satanic stance? Considering the recent further concessions GEJ made to them after over 15hours of personally discussing with ASUU,was it realistic for Prof and his colleagues to take such a stand?God knows everything and determines everything.Again the issue of reckless driving by convoys of political office holders has got to a stage that a global strike should be called by NLC et al to draw attention to this!
Can't image dis,feels bad arnd dis kin tin, na wa o ,dey v take d mans life.God we r in u hand oo.
Really sad. RIP Prof. Please GOD save us all..... amen.
U will definitely die before Fagge. What a bad tin to say. Heartless idiot.
U will definitely die before fagge. Imagine wishing somebody death bcos of strike. U r really mean!
RIP Dr. Festus Iyayi,
RIP Dr. Festus Iyayi
Pple will also say dat it serves u right wen u die in a situation worse than his.
R.I.P Dr Festus Iyayi.....
THIS KOGI GOVERNOR'S CONVOY SHOULD BE CHECKED. THEY ARE GETTING OUT OF HAND. IT IS ALWAYS ONE ACCIDENT TO ANOTHER. RIP SIR.
This country need to address the issue of over speeding.. My his gentle soul rest in the bosom of the Lord.
RIP Dr..... That Lokoja road is something else... Lord have mercy, owo aye ko ni ka wa *sad*
God almighty will judge all these nonsense politicians using people's money to oppress the people. Tell me, where is the governor running to? what is so urgent, why are they bullying us on the road and oppressing everywhere instead of serving the people, why?
Smh.....Read well b4 attacking...d don N Asuu ex president died.
@Anon 8:30....U dull sha, u no gree wise. U are part of the stupid Nigerians that would be suffering and smiling and wnt stand up for their rights. With the incessant stories of misappropriation of funds, u think the next thing is for asuu to listen to the crap Jona said, huh? This our yeye govt that doesn't stand by their word, small time now, them go change mouth or delay money cos of the smelling bottlenecks and we'll be back to the very square one, na wetin dem Prof Iyayi and co take wise pass u. They are looking into the future, nt today. Unwise creature like u
May God grant His soul eternal rest in his bossom Amen
Why this Lokoja road always?But the Media officer to the Executive Gov should mind what he is saying now.lt is too early to be commenting about it either personal or official opinions.May his soul rest in peace amen.
See how stupid u r..."means" little wonder asuu insists on d strike. Beta go back to pry1,maybe by d time u get to ss3 strike will be over n u can go back to uni
I will advise that the convoy be arrested and dealt with for their reckless driving.
See lets forget all these stories,
the Kogi state convoy should be arrested and dealt with.
These Police boys drive recklessly.
Only God knew the plans behind he accident.
It is well.
If u guys have been at home for 4months+ u wuld understand her/his plight.we sympathise with his family buh people need to go back to skul and dats the more reason v̶̲̥̅ they need to call off this strike and mourn him properly.
You dont have to be insultive to get ur point across
If u guys have been at home for 4months+ u wuld understand her/his plight.we sympathise with his family buh people need to go back to skul and dats the more reason v̶̲̥̅ they need to call off this strike and mourn him properly.
I sympathize wiv d family f d deceased yeah but dnt blame d students dt wana go bk2skul. Its bn 4mnths. Dis strike don do abeg
What are the odds... I smell conspiracy.
2 anonymous insulting ya self. Big fools u r. Go get a life. Only people with Id should exchange words not anon like us. We r only meant to comment and move on.
Prom Queen plz check d dailys, punch precisely Dr. Monye is my lect n d present asuu chairman of uniben n he sustained injuries! Fool!!!
A very sad story indeed! So many lives av bin lost,4months av bin wasted and now a very important personality in d field of academics have been lost as a result of dis incessant asuu strike.if dis govt refuses 2 fulfill dia promises 2 asuu den God won't hesistate 2 punish dem coz of d sacrifices of dis gr8 man..may his gentle soul RIP.
You sure don't need anyone replying you. We all sympathise with the man's relatives but we can't really do anything about his death. Who knows how many students died while returning to their various homes, buh dat didn't change a thing. Hell! We didn't even hear abt it. Asuu should call off the strike. God has called the man. May his soul rest in peace and his family receive fortitude to bear this loss
Make them call off the strike
May his soul rest in peace! Dis is jst a sign that God is greater dan Asuu!!many students hav lost dia lifes during dis strike dat we dnt get to knw!careers have been ruined wit girls getting pregnant etc!
Chai....dy don kill d man finally....Convoy or no convoy, dats bullshit......God dy watch all enemies of progress in dz country. RIP Prof.......smh
RIP sir. But I dnt see why u people should insult him cos he asked abt d meeting. Am sure the man was runing round to see the end of the strike so if everytin pauses bcos of his death, then I dnt knw the meaning of his struggle.
Gosh! Does dat mean d meeting wil be postponed? Mtcheeeews
So sorry we lost him what ever you call him.. But how about the indefinite suspension of the NEC congress which would have actually put an end to the strike ehh abeg jor let us all learn to move on, RIP but pls let your death not stop me from finishing school
Y will they kill him? Mugu
God will punish all ASUU people and both their president former, present and the next ASUU president. Do you know how many university students have died because of this bloody strike, or students that have turned rogue, involving themselves in dangerous activity because of being idle, or the ones that have started doing drugs, smoking weed, codeine, crack, stealing, getting pregnant e.t.c all in excess quantity. Infact the whole ASUU staffs can drop off the face of the earth, I don't give two rat's ass, a bird's shit and a diamond crested finger f**k. Students are in jeopardy, Linda why don't you post some of that, owk? I love you by the way. *winks*
Rip sir....... may God console your family.
