The Coroner Inquest which was set up by the Osun State government to look into the cause of death of Sen. Isiyaka Adeleke has fixed May 29 to give its final verdict on its findings

The Late Sen. Isiyaka Adeleke

The Coroner, Chief Magistrate Olusegun Ayilara announced this during the court's sitting on Monday in Osogbo. Ayilara stated that the court commenced sitting on May 10, and of the !5 respondents summoned by the court, 10 had appeared before it.

"This court summoned 15 persons to appear before it, in an advertisement which was published on May 11 in two national newspapers, the Tribune and The Nation."

“However, only 10 out of the respondents appeared before this court. I will not force anybody to appear before this court neither can we wait forever for them to appear."

“Their refusal to appear before this tribunal is intentional and so I am setting Monday, May 29 for the final verdict. By then we should know where we are going.’’ he said.

Since the coroner started sitting, those who had appeared before the court to give evidence were the major people that saw the late senator. They include the nurse that treated him before his death and the forensic team that carried out autopsy on him.

It is reported however that the Adeleke family, refused to honour the invitation of the court, stating in a news conference that the death of the senator was being politicised and that they are not in support of the setting up of the coroner inquest by the state government
