A Nigerian-born professor based in the United States, Uju Anya, has been slammed for wishing late Queen Elizabeth II painful death.
Anya, an Applied Linguistics professor at Carnegie Mellon University, USA, made an unsavoury comment via her Twitter handle on Thursday after it was announced that the Queen’s health was deteriorating.
The British monarch later died on Thursday at the age of 96.
Anya, who took to her Twitter page after the Queen’s health was announced, wrote: “I heard the chief monarch of a thieving raping genocidal empire is finally dying.

“May her pain be excruciating.”
The professor, after she was called out by several Twitter users, refused to apologise, stated: “I’m not wishing her dead. She’s dying already.
“I’m wishing her an agonizingly painful death like the one she caused for millions of people.”
Amazon founder and the world’s second richest person, Jeff Bezos, lashed out at Anya, saying: “This is someone supposedly working to make the world better?
“I don’t think so. Wow,” Bezos tweeted.
