The Registrar of Wigwe University, Ulonna Inyama is dead.

Inyama reportedly died in Abuja hospital on Saturday, following a wrong blood transfusion.

A family source explained that the deceased suffered a fatal reaction after receiving the wrong blood type.

The source said, “ We were told that a wrong blood transfusion led to her death after losing blood due to fibroid complications.

“She was later referred to another hospital where she passed on due to a worsening condition from the complications”, the source told Vanguard.

The family, however, called for an investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death to ensure accountability and prevent future occurrences.

Before joining Wigwe University, Inyama was chief personnel officer and head of strategic communications/special duties in the office of the executive secretary National Universities Commission, NUC.

The incident has further raised questions about the quality of Nigeria’s medical care and safety protocols.

Her death comes a few months after the tragic death of Wigwe University’s founder, Herbert Wigwe, who died along with his wife and son in a helicopter crash in the USA.
