Adeleke's Family Releases Statement on Cause of His Death, Autopsy

The younger brother of late Senator Isiaka Adetunji Adeleke in a press conference on Wednesday said the cause of his death is yet to be determined.

He called on Nigerians to ignore “gossips” in the social media attributing Adeleke’s death to an injection overdose.

According to Deji Adeleke, determining the cause of his death could take up to two weeks as that's when the result of an autopsy conducted him could be finalized.


Saying that the Adeleke family is still grieving the loss, he advised his brother’s supporters to shun violence and maintain peace as a mark of honour to the memory of the deceased.





“My brother never encouraged thuggery or violence during his lifestyle. His death is painful and the family is still dreaming whether he is alive or not because our brother was not sick before his sudden death.

“We have cried and cried but we cannot query God. However, we want to mourn our late brother in peace and not violence. I want to use this opportunity to appeal to the people to stop speculations and spreading rumours about the cause of his death.”

He insisted that nobody could determine the cause of the death of his brother until autopsy result is out.
