……Says concerns over wife’s “Unguarded Conduct” prompt probe

By Ayinde Adeleke

The Ondo State Government has announced plans to launch a probe into the death of former Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, with a potential inspection of his corpse and questioning of his wife, Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu.

The state Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Dr. Olukayode Ajulo, disclosed this in a statement, citing petitions from concerned groups requesting the invocation of the Coroners Law of Ondo State.

The petitions, received from various groups, raised concerns about the circumstances surrounding Akeredolu’s death.

They pointed to previous and recent public statements, as well as what they described as “unguarded and unhinged conduct” of Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, casting doubt on the official narrative that Akeredolu died from cancer-related complications.

Dr. Ajulo explained that the Coroners Law empowers citizens to request an inquest into deaths deemed unnatural or shrouded in controversy.

He emphasized that any citizen or group with reasonable suspicions about a person’s death has the legal right to demand a coroner’s inquest. “It is not out of place for citizens to demand its invocation when there are legitimate concerns,” he stated.

The Attorney General assured that the Ministry, under his leadership, is committed to transparency, rule of law, and due process in handling the probe. He urged citizens to allow the law to take its full course without prematurely casting aspersions on anyone, adding that “if invitations or arrests need to be made, the process will not deviate from doing the needful.”

The probe is expected to investigate the circumstances surrounding Akeredolu’s death and determine the truth.

Dr. Ajulo called for calm and civility, urging members of the public to let legal procedures unfold without interference.

He emphasized the need to approach the issue with civility, dignity, and a deep sense of responsibility to the legacy of the late governor and the peace of the state.
