The chairman of APC in Osun West Senatorial District, Mr Amobi Akintola, told the coroner’s panel set up by Gov. Rauf Aregbesola that late Senator Isiaka Adeleke did not eat any food at the burial of his grandmother on April 22.
Akintola said this while giving evidence before the coroner.
He said the late senator attended the burial ceremony in company with about 30 political aides and allies.
Akintola said that those who came with Adeleke ate but he (Adeleke) did not eat any of the foods served there.
He told the coroner that he served Adeleke a bottle of Remmy Martins, an alcoholic wine, but the senator brought his own bottle of Remmy Martins from his vehicle which he and his friends drank.
Also, Dr Adebisi Adenle, the Chief Medical Director (CMD) of Biket Hospital, Osogbo, also said that Adeleke was brought to his hospital dead on April 23.
Adenle said that Adeleke was brought to his hospital around 10:15a.m., and he pronounced him dead.
He told the coroner that he asked the family to take the corpse to the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) Teaching Hospital morgue because his hospital did not have a mortuary.
Adeleke, 62, who died on April 23, was representing Osun West Senatorial District at the Senate under the platform of All Progressive Congress (APC).
Adeleke was also the first civilian governor of Osun between January 1992 and November 1993 on the platform of defunct Social Democratic Party (SDP).
