AS the dust of controversies that ensued as a result of the sudden death of the first civilian governor of Osun State, Senator Isiaka Adeleke representing Osun West Senatorial District in the National Assembly, is yet to settle down, fresh facts have emerged as to what actually led to the demise of the Ede-born politician, Mega Icon Magazine exclusively gathered.
Mr. Alfred Aderibigbe, a graduate of the school of hygiene technology turned Health Assistant that treated the Senator two hours before he succumbed to the cold hands of death has made useful confession which was contained in the statement he made to the police 1regarding the nature of the injection he administered on the senator shortly before he gave up the ghost, highly impeccable family sources told our reporter.
Alfred, who is a long standing caregiver to the late Adeleke for over 10 years disclosed that the lawmaker had both peripheral artery disease and deep vein thrombosis because, according to him, the senator was hypertensive and diabetic at the same time.
“He suffers serious pain on his left leg. As such he uses a USA imported drug called ‘Pentoxifyline’ frequently. And when it escalates, he uses this medication with other analgesics intravenously or orally”.
Mr. Alfred further disclosed, “but, because of his schedule in Ede, he forgot the drug in his Ikeja home in Lagos. Before he left home in the morning for the Saturday’s engagement, he complained of light pain on the leg which was not given the attention it deserved”, the health assistant narrated.
He continued, “oral tablets of 200mg Diclofenac, 30mg of Pentazocine injection, 60mg of Diazepam tablets, 200mg of Hydrocortisone and 500mg of Analgin inside Dextrose Saline were given to him”.
Another source who confided in Mega Icon Magazine revealed that the late Osun political idol, Sen. Adeleke, attended a burial ceremony in Kuta, two political meetings and another party before he retired home on Saturday. He was said to have had series of meetings till 2am, but was complaining of the pains in the leg to close associates all through the meetings.
The source further disclosed that by 5am, he sent for Alfred Aderibigbe who stay five houses away from the Senator Adeleke’s residence. According to this source, “he saw that he had missed 18 calls from the senator’s mobile number who upon reaching him asked him to come with pain relieving tablets or injection as he couldn’t lift his legs again.
According to the information made available to our reporter and which had been confirmed to be true, Alfred is an health worker in one of the Primary Health Centres in Ede, Osun state.
The source further added that being a socialite, the Senator drank few glass cups of strong liquor on Saturday night.
The source also hinted that the health assistant left after the last drop of the dextrose saline had been administered on him after which the pain was subsided but it was not long after when the lawmaker’s breathing suddenly changed around 6:50am.
“He was struggling to inhale or exhale oxygen. There after he was rushed to Bikets Hospital, Osogbo but the hospital declared him brought in dead (BID)”, he concluded.
However, Mega Icon Magazine reliably learnt that upon learning the critical condition which Senator Adeleke was, Mrs Modupe Sanni nee Adeleke, the third child of the family, who equally is a nurse, had sent for Mr. Alfred and demanded to see the drug he administered on his brother, afterwhich she immediately alerted the police to arrest Alfred, not knowing that her brother, Sen. Adeleke, had given up the ghost.
“Mrs Sanni was the first person to hand over Alfred to the police before other family members started probing the Senator Adeleke’s death, the source revealed.
As at the time of filling this report, the police are still continuing their investigation.
Senator Adeleke until his death, was the Chairman, Senate committee on capital market.
