While Nigerians on various social media are expressing deep sorrow over the sudden death of the brilliant scholar, a ‘premonitory’ Facebook post by the scholar, his last, has triggered viral reactions due to its 'prophetic' nature.

Petra Akingbule, a former aide to the governor of Kogi state, Yahaya Bello, and a close ally of the deceased professor, shared the post on Facebook with the caption:

“Pius was this a premonition???? Jesus!!!!!”

Adesanmi in the post shared a picture of his, captioning it with a Biblical verse:
