Arraignment Of Nurse Who Allegedly Killed Senator Adeleke With Drug Overdose Stalled

Arraignment Of Nurse Who Allegedly Killed Senator Adeleke With Drug Overdose Stalled

The arraignment of Alfred Aderibigbe in an Osun High Court for the alleged killing of Isiaka Adeleke, a former senator, was on Wednesday in Osogbo stalled following the absence of the judge, Ayo Oyebiyi. 

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Solicitor General of the state, Dapo Adeniji, agreed with Aderibigbe’s counsel, Soji Oyetayo, on June 8 as the new date for the arraignment of the accused.

The Olusegun Ayilara-led coroner inquest had recommended Mr Aderibigbe for prosecution, having established that he administered the drug overdose that killed Mr Adeleke.

Mr Aderibigbe, a nurse, while testifying before the coroner, said the drugs he gave the late senator were those given to him by the deceased.

He also insisted that he did not give the late senator an overdose.

But the Chief Medical Director of Ladoke Akintola University Teaching Hospital(LAUTECH), Osogbo, Akeem Lasisi, had said that Mr Adeleke died of drug overdose.

Also testifying, the consultant pathologist, who carried out the autopsy on Mr Adeleke’s corpse, Taiwo Sholaja, maintained that the senator died of drug overdose.
