Breaking: What OAU student, Timothy Adegoke’s autopsy reports says

The deceased’s family, through their counsel, Mr Naheem Adekilekun, said that comments on the autopsy would be made after the result was out. Adekilekun appealed to the police to prosecute the case without fear or favour to any person found culpable.

Osun University Teaching Hospital (OUTH), on Monday, conducted autopsy on Timothy Adegoke, a post-graduate student of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU).

The autopsy, scheduled for 11:00 am., did not commence until 2:30 pm., due to late arrival of the deceased’s family and other logistics.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, SP Yemisi Opalola, had, on Sunday, told NAN that the autopsy was delayed because the deceased’s family insisted on being part of the process.
Opalola, however, said that the autopsy would now be carried out today (Monday) at Osun University Teaching Hospital, Osogbo.
