The Wigwe University in Isiokpo, Nigeria’s Rivers State has lost another important figure following the untimely demise of its Registrar, Ms. Ulonna Inyama.
Inyama passed away under mysterious circumstances in Abuja, raising concerns about medical negligence and hospital safety in Nigeria.
This tragedy comes just months after the death of Wigwe University’s founder, Herbert Wigwe, who perished in a helicopter crash in California, USA, alongside his wife and son on February 9, 2024.
According to a family source who spoke to Vanguard, Ms Inyama’s death resulted from complications following fibroid surgery and an erroneous blood transfusion.

Initially admitted to a hospital in Abuja for fibroid treatment, she reportedly received the wrong blood type, which led to a fatal reaction.
“She died of loss of blood due to fibroid complications under mysterious circumstances. We were told that a wrong blood transfusion led to her death.
“When her condition worsened due to complications, she was referred to another hospital, where she passed on,” the family source told Vanguard.
The family has called for an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Ms Inyama’s death.
Meanwhile, the board of trustees and governing council of Wigwe University has approved the appointment of Marwan Al-Akaidi as the acting vice chancellor of the university following the recent disengagement of Miles Davis as the vice-chancellor.
This was made known in a letter signed by Fabian Ajogwu, the chairman of the board of trustees and Julius Okojie, the pro-chancellor/chairman of the governing council stating that the university has approved the disengagement of the service of Davis the vice-chancellor of Wigwe University.
