The family of the late Senator Isiaka Adeleke has accused Ladoke Akintola University Teaching Hospital (LAUTH), Osogbo of refusing to release the tissue samples of the deceased.
They also said the Osun
government and the hospital are making it difficult for them to do a
second autopsy to confirm the hospital’s result.
The
late Senator’s family also alleged that the hospital has still not
given them the result of the autopsy which they requested for since
April 23, 2017.
Speaking on behalf of the family, Dr Deji Adeleke said “The
Chief Pathologist’s claim that the Adeleke family is not entitled to
the autopsy report because the instructions to conduct the autopsy were
given to him by his boss and not directly by the family, is unethical,
unprofessional and utterly ridiculous, to say the least.
“The
Adeleke family will like to put it on record that the Osun State
Government-owned Ladoke Akintola Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, has also
refused to release the remaining sample of tissues removed from the body
of our departed hero, Senator Isiaka Adetunji Adeleke, for the conduct
of the autopsy that would have allowed the family to seek the conduct of
a second autopsy from an ethical, professional and non-political
medical facility outside Osun State.
“The
Adeleke family will like to state again that the family has been
unjustifiably denied the report of the autopsy and the remaining sample
of tissues taken from the body of late Senator Isiaka Adetunji Adeleke
by the Osun State Government-owned LAUTECH Teaching Hospital, Osogbo.”
Meanwhile,
the Coroner Inquest set up by Osun Government to investigate the cause
of death of Sen. Isiaka Adeleke has fixed May 29 to give its final
verdict on its findings.
