Osun state police have reportedly arrested one Dr Alfred
Aderibigbe, a medical assistant with a community health center in Ede,
Osun State, for
allegedly administering an injection overdose on Senator
Isiaka Adeleke who died after suffering a heart attack on Sunday April
23rd.
According to Sahara Reporters, late Senator Adeleke had been suffering
from severe leg pain that required him to be injected with pain killers.
Dr Aderibigbe who has acted as one of Adeleke's personal doctors, allegedly
injected the deceased with an overdose of the medication that caused his
death. Aderibigbe is being accused of practicising medicine illegally.
The police arrested Aderibigbe yesterday and have detained him at the
State Investigation Bureau of the Nigeria Police in Oshogbo where he is
being interrogated.
Preliminary report of an autopsy ordered by the Osun State government
and Mr. Adeleke’s family indicated that the senator died of drug overdose.
Aderibigbe reportedly gave him analgesics intravenously.
