Ms. Ulonna Inyama, the Registrar of Wigwe University, has passed away under mysterious circumstances in Abuja, prompting concerns about potential medical negligence and hospital safety.
According to a family source, Ms. Inyama’s death resulted from complications following fibroid surgery and a wrong blood transfusion. She was initially admitted to a hospital in Abuja for fibroid treatment but experienced a fatal reaction after receiving the incorrect blood type.
“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 source told Vanguard on Monday in Abuja.
This incident has sparked questions about the quality of medical care and safety protocols in Nigerian hospitals. The family has called for an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Ms. Inyama’s death.
Ms. Inyama’s passing comes just months after the tragic loss of Wigwe University’s founder, Herbert Wigwe, who died in a helicopter crash in California, USA, along with his wife and son. The university community, still grieving the loss of its founder, now faces another devastating blow with the loss of its Registrar.
