Alfred Aderibigbe, the nurse who treated late Senator Isiaka Adeleke before his death on April 23, 2017, has been discharged and acquitted by an Osun State Court
An Osun State High Court sitting in Osogbo on Thursday, set
the nurse free.
Then governor, Rauf Aregbesola had set up a coroner inquest
to look into the cause of the death of Senator Adeleke.
The panel’s findings showed that Adeleke died of drug
overdose coupled with an aspiration of gastric content.
The coroner inquest was headed by Magistrate Olusegun
Ayilara, who revealed said the deceased had an administration of an overdose of
sedative and analgesia by unqualified personnel, Alfred Aderibigbe, through
intravenous means, which action was hastened by the presence of alcohol in the
system.
Senator Adeleke had patronised the Aderibigbe for over 20
years, taking treatment from him without a doctor’s prescriptions.
Ayilara indicted Aderibigbe as unqualified personnel and
recommended that the Department of Public Prosecutions should duplicate the
case file and press approbation charges against him.
Aderibigbe was arraigned in the High Court on 8th June 2018
and he pleaded not guilty to one count murder charge preferred against him.
Aderibigbe, during his trial, also gave evidence before the
Court, saying the drugs he gave Adeleke were those given to him by the former
lawmaker and not in overdose.
