training
of snipers and other armed personnel secretly and clandestinely by President
Goodluck Jonathan, as raised by the former President Olusegun Obasanjo on
December 11, 2013, Wednesday.
According to UAD, the alleged placing of over 1000
Nigerians on political watch list by Jonathan government must also be
investigated against the backdrop that it centres on credibility and tendency
of taking Nigeria back to the dark days of late former Head of State, General
Sani Abacha.
Addressing Journalists on a topic titled “A period of
deepening Turmoil” in Abuja Comrade Baba Aye, called for a thorough probe into
the cause of the death of former President of ASUU, Professor Festus
Iyayi.
“UAD mourns the death of
former ASUU President, Professor Festus Iyayi. We call for a thorough
investigation into the cause of his death. Certain observations make it suspect
that he was actually assassinated and the attendant accident was a cover up for
this dastardly act. It was noted by medical officers that a deep hole in his
heart which is abnormal to occur from an accident appears more like the entry
of a bullet. We suspect that Prof. Iyayi was murdered by agents of the Federal
Government because of his hard stance on the ASUU strike.
“The allegation recently
made by former President Obasanjo that President Goodluck Jonathan has been
training killer squads of snipers gives credence to our suspicion. UAD
therefore calls for an independent panel of enquiry, driven by civil society,
to investigate into the remote and immediate causes of Comrade Iyayi’s death
and ensure that justice is done,” Comrade Baba Aye said.
