The Registrar of Wigwe University identified as Ulonna Inyama has died in the FCT, Abuja due to complications from fibroid surgery and alleged wrong blood transfusion.
According to Vanguard, a family source said Inyama died on Monday, July 29, 2024. She was initially admitted to a hospital in Abuja for fibroid treatment but suffered a fatal reaction after receiving the wrong blood type.
