Isiaka Adeleke’s death: Senator died of drugs overdose – Coroner

The coroner inquest setup by the Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola to probe the cause of death of Senator Isiaka Adeleke, on Tuesday blamed the lawmaker’s death on drugs overdose.

The coroner, Olusegun Ayilara while giving his verdict also dismissed claims that the Senator was poison to death.

Adeleke died on April 23, 2017.

He stated that no trace of poison was found in Adeleke’s system according to the autopsy and toxicologist reports.

According to Ayilara, “The high dose of sedatives and analgesics with the mode of administration caused aspiration which culminated in death.”

The coroner which has been sitting for over three weeks had summoned 15 witnesses including nurse Alfred Aderibigbe who treated the late lawmaker before he died.
