Senator 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.
The late 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 and On Saturday, he embarked on a series of political
events, before heading out to the events he complainined 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.

intravenous medication, fluid laced with a huge quantity of painkillers
blocked his heart leading to a heart attack that killed him.
