The family of late Senator Isiaka
Adeleke, has berated Dr Taiwo Solaja, the chief pathologist, who carried out
autopsy on him, over his claim that the late Senator’s family is not entitled
to the autopsy report.
Solaja had earlier submitted before the Coroner Inquest set up by the state government that Adeleke family could not access to the result of the autopsy on the ground that it was his boss and Chief Medical Director of LAUTECH Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, Professor Akeem Lasisi, that gave him the instruction to conduct the autopsy and not the Adeleke’s family.
Speaking on behalf of the family
on Tuesday, the immediate younger brother of the deceased, Dr Deji Adeleke
expressed the family’s dissatisfaction with the manner the autopsy report was
handled by the pathologist and the hospital authority.
He described the claim as
complete falsehood, unjustifiable, unethical, unprofessional and utterly
ridiculous.
He condemned the action of the
LAUTECH Teaching Hospital for refusing to release the remaining sample of
tissues removed from the body of the late senator for the conduct of the
autopsy,” which could have helped the family to seek the conduct of a second
autopsy from an ethical, professional and non-political medical facility
outside Osun State”.
Adeleke maintained that the family
has the right to access the autopsy report, saying that they were the ones that
took the body of the late senator to LAUTECH Teaching Hospital and requested
for an autopsy.
He added that the family actually
paid for the autopsy and a representative of the family, Mrs Dupe
Adeleke-Sanni, signed an authorisation letter on behalf of the family.
“The hospital authority did not issue any receipt for the payment because it was on a Sunday, and the Chief Medical Director, Professor Lasisi, promised to issue the receipt on Monday.Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
“Unfortunately, the family had not been issued the receipt up till now,” Adeleke said.
