"DEJI ADELEKE BROTHER'S DEATH HAS RUN HIM MAD"~~RAUF AREGBESOLA

The Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, has said Dr. Deji Adeleke may have gone mad because of the death of his brother, Senator Isiaka Adeleke.

Aregbesola said this in Ede on Wednesday at the campaign of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the Osun West Senatorial District by-election holding on Saturday.

The governor’s vituperation was in reaction to allegation that he owed Deji Adeleke money.

But Aregbesola said he did not borrow any money from Deji at anytime, saying it was the Adelekes that had been collecting money from him.

He said, “Deji Adeleke is a business man, he is not a politician but it is like his brother’s death has run him mad.” (O dabi pe iku egbon e ti da lori ru). It is a lie that I borrowed money from Deji,

“It is to the glory of God that they got the Certificate of Occupancy of their university from our government. Why didn’t those who are their new friends give them C of O of that university? If Deji Adeleke had so much money, why did he beg me to waive the payable tax of his university? Why couldn’t he just pay?

“I am bold enough to say this over and over again, because I have never sought assistance from any member of the Adeleke family, even during the lifetime of Senator Isiaka Adeleke. Nothing of such occurred.

“My relationship with the late Adeleke was cordial and beyond politics because we had known each other even before Osun politics, because our residences were adjacent to each other in Lagos State.”

He said political office was not by inheritance, saying if it was so, Bola Ige family would have been ruling the state.

In a related development,  the National Chairman of the PDP, Ali Modu Sherif, on Wednesday stormed Apomu, the headquarters of Isokan  Local Government Area  to lead the campaign for Chief Ademola Adeleke, who is the standard bearer of the  party in the Osun West Senatorial District by-election.

A former Deputy Governor of Osun State, Iyiola Omisore, who recently joined hands with the Sheriff faction of the PDP in Osun State, was also one of the prominent leaders of the PDP, who campaigned for Adeleke.

The campaign train of the PDP, after leaving Apomu,  headed for Iwo in continuation of the electioneering.

Meanwhile, one of the election observer groups, accredited to monitor the election,  Centre for Credible Leadership and Citizens Awareness, has said there may be voter apathy due to the threat being issued by some politicians ahead of the poll.

The Director-General of the CLCA, Dr. Gabriel Nwanbu, said this at a press conference in Osogbo on Wednesday.

I DIDN'T GIVE LATE ISIAKA ADELEKE DRUG OVERDOSE~~NURSE

Mr Alfred Aderibigbe, the nurse who treated Sen. Isiaka Adeleke before he died, has denied claims that he administered an overdose of a banned injection, Analgin, on Adeleke, which led to his sudden death last month. The Chief Medical Doctor of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Prof. Akeem Lasisi, had told a coroner investigating Adeleke's sudden death that preliminary investigations carried out by a team of medical experts, showed that the senator died of an overdose of a banned injection(Read here).

Aderibigbe who testified before the coroner today May 18th, said he had been Adeleke's nurse for over 15 years. According to him, all the drugs he administered on the late first civilian governor of Osun  were in  normal dosage. He added that it was the drugs given to him by the late senator that he ordered.

“The senator gave me his drugs  which he brought from Lagos  to keep  on the evening of  Monday, April 17,  with the understanding that when he wants to take them,  he will call me to bring  them.
On Sunday, April 23, at about 4 am, I was, however,  woken up by two men from the senator who banged on my gate and later informed me that the senator had been  calling my phone and that  I was not picking my calls.

They said the senator needed me to come and treat him and that I should bring his drugs along.
 I later went inside to get them and also found the  calls I missed on my phone. I called the senator but his friend, one Dipo Fagborode,  picked his call."
Continuing he said:
"As he was explaining what was going on, the senator himself collected the phone and asked  me to come quickly  that he was having serious knee  pains.
When I got to the senator’s house, he asked  for his drugs and gave me his prescription which contained the dose I was to administer on him.
The drugs which the senator kept with me that was to be administered  on him were Analgin injection, Diazepam injection, photroine injection and hydrocortisone.
But the senator said I should not give him hydrocortisone because when he took it in Lagos, he had headache and was also vomiting.
So the other drugs was what I gave him and they were in the right dosage.
Even when the prescription said he should be given 20mg of diazepam, I had to limit it to 10mg because I discovered he had taken some oral pain painkillers.

The two other injections I gave him were in the right proportion too– 50mg of Analgin and 1mg of photroine.
 I waited for him to sleep and finish the drip/water I had already placed him on before I took my leave around 7:30 am.

The reason I took my leave was to inform my church  because the day was a Sunday and  I would  not be able to teach the Sunday class.
I returned  back to the Adeleke  residence  by 9:30 am. Before I left, I had told the senator’s friend, who was with me throughout the treatment,  to watch over him.  When I returned, I found the senator in the sleeping position I left him, and  on closer observation, his heart rate had dropped and his pulse was faint. I quickly gave him cardiac massage and called on his friend,  Dipo,  to assist me  and when the situation was beyond my control, I raised an alarm and he was quickly rushed to Biket hospital. By the time we got him to Biket hospital, the CMD, Dr Adebisi Adenle,  examined  his body and pronounced him “Brought in Dead.”

He asked  his friend what happen and he was told that the deceased complained of knee  joint pain and that I gave him some treatment.
“The doctor now  asked  me  what drugs I administered  on the deceased and I told him.  He  then said it was the normal drug  treatment for  gout.  But as the empty containers and  the previous drugs the deceased had taken were brought to the hospital on the doctor’s request, lies broke out that he died of overdose. The lies were generated by the crowd that had gathered at the hospital  because Sen. Adeleke’s campaign bus and his Escalade were used to convey him to the hospital.  As they drove against traffic, people got the hint that he was in trouble and gathered to find out more.
The nurse stated that since the senator died, he had been arrested and detained by the police. He was however granted bail on May 2nd and has not returned home or work since then. He also stated that his wife and children have not been able to return to their home since the incident.
The coroner’s  sitting was later adjourned till Friday.

THE REAL CAUSE OF SEN.ISIAKA ADELEKE'S DEATH REVEALS~~LAUTECH'S CMD

The Chief Medical Director, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, Prof Akeem Lasisi has revealed the real cause of the death of the Senator representing Osun-West senatorial district, Chief Isiaka Adeleke.

According to Lasisi, who said he saw Adeleke’s corpse on a table at LAUTECH’s morgue, added that a pathologist, one Dr Solaja, two resident doctors, who are also pathologists, the Officer in Charge of Homicide, Osun State Police Command, Divisional Police Officer, Dugbe Police Station, Osogbo, and the Consultant Pathologist, LAUTECH, were all present when an autopsy was carried out on Adeleke.
He said;

“I saw the corpse. Before any process of examination of any diagnosis in medicine, there is what we call history before examination. So, we asked for the person who knew the conditions surrounding the death of the senator.

“So, the family pointed to one of the aides and the aide said he (Adeleke) was active the previous day and he came at midnight and started complaining of leg pain. So, they sent for somebody who came to give him injections.

“I asked clearly the medical status of the person that administered the injections. I asked, ‘Is the person a doctor?’ but he said no. ‘Is he a nurse’?, he said he didn’t know but the person was a face they were used to.

“He mentioned various injections, so at that point I asked him if could lay his hands on the empty ampoules of the injections. The family members went home to get them. The injections were five per cent dextrose. We saw empty sachets; it was like a fluid and with it, we saw an intravenous fluid-giving set and scalp vein needle. We saw that empty. We saw two ampoules of Analgin, four ampoules of valium (diazepam) – 10ml each making 40 milligrammes, one ampoule of pentazocine, one ampoule of gentamicin and two ampoules of hydrocortisone.

“All of these were empty and his aide said these were what he was given. He also added that after he had been given, he (Adeleke) called him that he doesn’t want to entertain any visitor and he went to sleep. He (the aide) said he later went back to check him and saw that the senator’s eyes were wide open but he wasn’t breathing.”

The CMD added that diazepam ‘sedates and tranquilises when given in moderate dosage’ but said it could knock off reflexes if given in the type of dosage Adeleke was given and could eventually lead to death.

He stated that if the injection would be given intravenously at all, it should be given at a facility where the patient could be resuscitated with artificial oxygen in case his breathing stopped.

“Analgin has been outlawed since the days of Dora Akunyili in NAFDAC. So, I don’t know where they got it from. They were given in excess dosage,” he said.
Also the Osun State Deputy Governor, Mrs Titi Laoye-Tomori, in her testimony before the coroner, said Adeleke hesitated before he ate three spoonfuls of rice at a funeral ceremony in Osun State, a day before he died.
