MICHAEL AKINOLA

Dr. Deji Adeleke, business mogul and younger brother to the late first civilian Governor of Osun State, Senator Isiaka Adeleke has said that the cause of his elder brother’s death has not been revealed even by pathologists.

Dr. Adeleke disclosed this on Wednesday at a press conference at the residence of the deceased in Ede, Osun State.

According to the business mogul, the family has only been told that the report of the autopsy would take between one or two weeks to be ready.

He then told the people to disregard claims in the social media that the senator was killed as well as urged his supporters to be calm, saying that the late Senator was not known for violence during his life time.

An online medium has reported that Adeleke, who died on Sunday was killed by an overdose of painkillers administered to him by an unqualified medical technician.

According to the New York-based medium, the flamboyant Senator received the medication following complaints of serious pain in his legs at the beginning of day-long political rally and meetings.

Similarly, Tunji, one of the children of the Senator has alleged that his father, who was preparing to contest in the 2018 governorship election in the state was killed.

Although he did not state how he was killed, he said Adeleke, who was also the senator representing Osun-West at the Senate until his death, was killed by some forces because he stood a good chance of emerging the governor of the state again.

Tunji, who said this in a snapchat on Tuesday, said that some persons, who he did not name, eliminated his dad because they considered him a big threat to their ambition ahead of the next year election.
