The younger brother of the late first civilian governor of Osun, Deji, had alleged on Sunday in Ede that the outcome of the inquest was already predetermined. “ The family , hereby, denounces in its entirety the ill- advised and self - serving coroner inquest ordered by the Osun State Government , purportedly setup to determine the cause of death of our dearly beloved Senator Isiaka Adetunji Adeleke. “ We condemn , in strictest terms , the continuous politicisation attempts by the st...
