Dr. Taiwo Solaja, a pathologist in charge of determining the cause of death of former Ondo governor, Isiaka Adeleke has said he died through choking due to drug overdose.

The pathologist testimony was delivered at the Coroner’s inquest set up by the Osun state government to unravel the real cause of Senator Adeleke’s sudden death.

Osilaja also said excessive alcohol, sedatives, and painkillers such as Diazepam and Analgin were found in the body of the late Senator.

Analgin has been banned by the Nigerian government for over 10 years according to the Chief Medical Director of LAUTECH Teaching Hospital, Professor Akeem Lasisi.
