Isiaka Adeleke, the Osun West Senator who died suddenly yesterday in
Oshogbo, the Osun State capital, was killed by an overdose of
painkillers administered to him by an unqualified medical technician,
SaharaReporters has learned.
The Senator received the medication
following complaints of serious pain in his legs at the beginning of
day-long political rally and meetings.
A source at the Osun State
Ladoke Akintola University Teaching Hospital said the late Senator
recently began preparations to run for governor in the state in 2018.
On Saturday, he embarked on a series of political events, before heading
out to the events he was complaining to his about the pain, and a quack
administered the painkillers intravenously, relieving him of the pain.
When
he woke up he complained of chest pain and fatigue, shortly after
telling his aides not to allow any visitors to see him he had a heart
attack and was pronounced dead at Biket Hospital in Oshogbo.
Since
his passing, youths in his hometown of Ede have been rioting, alleging
that the Senator was poisoned to prevent him from running for governor.
The riots forced the state government to order an autopsy at LAUTECH
Teaching Hospital.
SahararReporters learned that preliminary
results from pathologists showed that the intravenous medication, fluid
laced with a huge quantity of painkillers conspired to block his heart
leading to a heart attack that killed him.
