My father had a building with 16 flats in Lagos, another two storey building with several plots of land in Lagos and in Benin City. Immediately, they killed him, they collected every single document and kept it from me, the first son. Their mother had done everything she could to kill me so that her son will be the eldest son.\u201d<\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv1624006261yMail_cursorElementTracker_1513368535606\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv1624006261yMail_cursorElementTracker_1513368537792\">Facts from State Hospital, Ota<\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv1624006261yMail_cursorElementTracker_1513368539056\"><\/div>\n<div>During a visit to the office of the Chief Medical Director, Ogun State General Hospital, Ota, Dr Kayode Olukoju, to ascertain the veracity of the death certificate allegedly procured and signed by one of his doctors, the CMB said he was busy in the theatre.<\/div>\n<div>In a petition by the family\u2019s lawyer, Barr Roland Aibangbee of Milestone Partners, Corporate and Property Consultants, dated August 31, 2016 and addressed to the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State entitled: \u201cPassionate request to conduct investigation on the cause of death of SP Joseph Idehen (Retd),\u201d \u00a0the lawyer alleged that Ruth and her mother hid the news from the family members hours after Idehen\u2019s death at his resident at No 5, Odetola Street, off Merit Road, Alagbado, Lagos.<\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv1624006261yMail_cursorElementTracker_1513368547686\">Similarly, another petition to the Commissioner of Police, dated August 16, 2017 titled: \u201cComplaint against the undue delay and disturbing development surrounding the carrying out of investigation and conducting autopsy to ascertain the cause of death of late SP Joseph Idehen (Retd),\u201d appealed to the police authorities to \u201cunravel the truth concerning the death of the deceased.\u201d<\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv1624006261yMail_cursorElementTracker_1513368549314\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv1624006261yMail_cursorElementTracker_1513368550620\">Confrontation with Dr Daniel Kusimo<\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv1624006261yMail_cursorElementTracker_1513368552003\"><\/div>\n<div>Dr Kusimo, who issued the death certificate, said \u201cI was on duty when they brought the man &#8211; the late Idehen &#8211; after he was earlier taken to a private hospital but when the condition worsened, he was referred to our general hospital and was brought dead.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>He explained that the late Idehen had been their patient, having registered in January 2016 and was once admitted few months prior to his death on July 4, 2016.<\/div>\n<div>When asked what the late police officer was suffering from, he disclosed that he was being treated for hypertension.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cThe man has been coming here for the treatment of hypertension earlier in the year. He was admitted once and he is somebody we know very well.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cMost of the statements people are making are not 100 per cent true. We didn\u2019t do any autopsy as the man was our patient and we have been treating him for hypertension and he was already developing congestive cardiac failure.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cIt was based on that that we wrote the death certificate which we usually do. It is not everybody that died we conduct an autopsy for. We only do autopsy where there is litigation.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Dr Kusimo, accusing the reporter of taking side with the complainant said further that the case was at Alagbon Close and the police should perform their duty and conduct an autopsy to ascertain the cause of the death now generating controversy.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI don\u2019t think the man was killed and I don\u2019t see any reason why they would want to kill their father at that age. When you have a polygamous home, a lot of things happen. They are fighting over property.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cAll these things will be settled in court. I don\u2019t think that man was killed,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div>However, a police source said authoritatively that the late Idehen was never a patient at the State Hospital, Ota as being insinuated by Dr Kusimo and was also not admitted for hypertension related ailment according to their investigation.<\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv1624006261yMail_cursorElementTracker_1513368569115\">\u201cDr Kusimo wrote a statement at the police station which stated categorically that the man was never a patient. Maybe he has forgotten what he told the police. If he has the patient case file, let him present it,\u201d the source further revealed.<\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv1624006261yMail_cursorElementTracker_1513368571719\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv1624006261yMail_cursorElementTracker_1513368576396\">The following verbal exchange ensued between Dr Kusimo and the reporter:<\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv1624006261yMail_cursorElementTracker_1513368589993\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv1624006261yMail_cursorElementTracker_1513368597711\">When was the late Idehen admitted in your hospital?<\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv1624006261yMail_cursorElementTracker_1513368601492\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv1624006261yMail_cursorElementTracker_1513368604704\">He was admitted for few days in January 2016 before he died in July.

It was just for that same year, from January till he died in July, 2016. He was 65 years old. At that age, people are already having one health problem or the other. You can see somebody in the morning and nothing is wrong with him, he can suddenly collapse and die.<\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv1624006261yMail_cursorElementTracker_1513368717516\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv1624006261yMail_cursorElementTracker_1513368718946\">In the medical line, if somebody is brought to the hospital dead and there is the need to issue death certificate, is it within medical ethics to ask for the first son of the man to issue such sensitive document?<\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv1624006261yMail_cursorElementTracker_1513368720010\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv1624006261yMail_cursorElementTracker_1513368728195\">No, as far as he is the son of the man, you can issue certificate to anybody.

The history was that he was in a private hospital where he became unconscious and they told them to refer the patient here. So, along the way, he died.<\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv1624006261yMail_cursorElementTracker_1513368794219\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv1624006261yMail_cursorElementTracker_1513368795311\">As a medical doctor who was managing his health condition, did it occur to you that the patient might not have succumbed to death as a result of that ailment you claimed to be treating, but perhaps from another sickness?<\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv1624006261yMail_cursorElementTracker_1513368796521\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv1624006261yMail_cursorElementTracker_1513368804620\">You are already doing the work of a prosecutor or a lawyer.

I will send you my lawyer\u2019s number. We summoned Mr Scott and other children and they failed to come to the court. My husband was from Delta State, he has \u00a0land there and we buried him on his land. Do you bury someone in a strange land and the people there will accept it?\u201d she queried.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cScott Ogbomo is using the police to torment me and my children. I may have separated from my husband about 30 years ago, but I am the legal wife.
