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.
