This afternoon, enraged by the mortuary photos of
Prof. Festus Iyayi published exclusively in TheNEWS
magazine, the Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka
insisted that Iyayi must not be buried without a
coroner’s inquest.
The following is the full text of his statement:
The world is watching. With the mortuary photos of
the late Festus Iyayi just published in TheNEWS, the
world is waiting and watching if the corpse shown in
that image will be interred without a coroner’s inquest.
To allow this to happen is to make all of us
accessories to a possible crime. It means we are now
attuned to the culture of impunity and forfeited all
claims to elementary ctiizen security. Tributes ring
hollow if doubts are silenced. “Beyond all doubt” is a
protective armour for each one of us, no matter where
and how.
So let the nation be placed in knowledge
Beyond All Doubt over the circumstances of Festus
Iyayi’s death. That is the minimum any self-respecting
society must demand, not merely as a collective
shield, but in the service of Truth, and for all posterity.
We remain haunted by the far too frequent,
unexplained decimation in the ranks of the committed.
A Coroner’s Inquest – that is where to begin. ~ PM

I suspected foul play someone was killed and no one was arrested
That does not make sense
