The Coroner overseeing the inquest into the death of the first executive governor of Osun State, Senator Isiaka Adeleke, has threatened to issue a bench warrant on the commissioner of police in the state and other police officers.

The coroner, Magistrate Olusegun Ayilara, said he would issue the warrant if they fail to appear before him on Wednesday.

He complained about the failure of the representative of the Commissioner of Police to appear before him for the third time since the police boss was summoned last week.

Meanwhile, there were contradictory testimonies on Monday at the coroner inquest set up to look into the cause of Adeleke’s death.

During the second sitting of the inquest at the Osun State High Court, the alleged host of one of the last social event attended by the late Senator Adeleke claimed he did not eat at his party but the Deputy Governor, Titi Tomori-Laoye, testified otherwise.
