The family of Ulonna Inyama, the Registrar of @WigweUniversity who tragically died in Abuja on Monday 29 July has announced that contrary to information making the rounds, she was not married to one Mr. Jude Ezeobi.
Law teacher and rights activist, Chidi Anselm Odinkalu who made the revelation through an X (formerly Twitter) post said: “@fcthighcourt granted a decree of annulment in respect of Mr. Ezeobi’s marriage claims on 17 Oct. 2023.”
Prior to Odinkalu’s post, a group that described itself as Jude Ezeobi’s Committee of Friends released a statement announcing the passing of “the dear wife of our founding Chairman…”
Ulonna Inyama, according to a family source, died due to complications from fibroid surgery and a wrong blood transfusion.
The source revealed that she was initially admitted to a hospital in Abuja for fibroid treatment but suffered a fatal reaction after receiving the wrong blood type, Vanguard reports.
“She died of loss of blood due to fibroid complications under mysterious circumstances. We were told that 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 said.
The family has demanded an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Inyama’s death.
Inyama’s death came 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.
Below is the judgment annulling her marriage with Jude Ezeobi.
