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.
