Ms. Ulonna Inyama, the Registrar of Wigwe University, passed away in Abuja under suspicious circumstances, raising questions about hospital safety and medical malpractice. Inyama did not have fibroid surgery, a confidante of the deceased disclosed, refuting earlier rumours.
Rather, she received tainted blood as a treatment for anaemia. “I don’t want to be quoted, but I was with her in the hospital last Tuesday in Abuja,” said the unidentified source. The source claims that rather than fibroid surgery, Inyama’s death was caused by complications from an incorrect blood transfusion.
“She died of blood loss due to complications from the wrong blood transfusion, not fibroid surgery,” the source clarified. We were informed that she died as a result of receiving tainted blood. Concerns concerning the standard of medical care and safety procedures in Nigerian hospitals have been raised by the incident.
The family has requested that the circumstances surrounding Inyama’s passing be looked into. The terrible death of Herbert Wigwe, the founder of Wigwe University, and his wife and son in a helicopter crash in California, USA, occurred months before to this one.
The loss of the university’s registrar deals a further crushing blow to the community that is still in shock at the death of its founder.
