Court frees Nurse accused of killing Davido’s Uncle, Senator Isiaka Adeleke.

Alfred Aderibigbe, nurse who treated late Senator and former governor of Osun state, Isiaka Adeleke before his demise on the 23rd of April, 2017, was on Thursday, discharged and acquitted by the Osun state Court sitting in Oshogbo area of Nigeria.

Then governor, Rauf Aregbesola had set up a coroner examination to investigate the cause of the death of Adeleke, who is also an uncle to Nigerian Artiste, Davido. The panel’s findings revealed that Adeleke had died of drug overdose coupled with an aspiration of gastric content which is against his health status.

The coroner inquest was headed by Magistrate, Olusegun Ayilara, who disclosed the deceased had an administration of an overdose of sedatives and analgesia by an unqualified personnel, in person of Alfred Aderibigbe, through intravenous means, which action was hastened by the presence of alcohol in his body system.

Senator Adeleke had patronized the nurse for over 20 years, taking treatment from him without a doctor’s prescriptions.

Ayilara charged Aderibigbe as an unqualified personnel and suggested 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 the 8th of June, 2018 where he pleaded ‘not guilty‘ to the one count murder charge directed against him.

During his trial, he also gave evidence before the court, with emphasis on the fact that the drugs he gave Adeleke were those given to him by the former senator and not in overdose.
