"Dr David Adetayo Oguntuase was killed and burnt in his private clinic on
ReplyDeleteXmas day 25th December 2014. He was the Consultant Pediatrician/Head of
Pediatrics, paediatrician at Federal medical centre Owo, Ondo State. His
death is related to the ongoing EFCC fraud investigation of the chief
medical director, Dr. O. A. Omotosho. He is accused of embezzling 100
million naira meant for staff training and medical equipment.
Dr Oguntauase was acting as CMD prior to
appointment of Omotosho. Most people thought Dr Oguntause will be
appointed but we all know how Nigerian system of God fatherism works. Dr
Omotosho was appointed directly from Abuja with the help of Owo ruling
Monarch King DVF Olateru-Olagbegi.
Dr Oguntause problems started when the
federal budget allocated for staff training, purchase of CT scans and
other medical equipment went missing and EFCC was alerted. The EFCC team
came to arrest Dr Omotosho but he escaped through the morgue section of
the hospital and jumped over the fence. The administrative manager, Mr
Lagundoye and public Relations Officer [PRO], Mr. Yusuf Olarewaju with
the rest of the senior management team were not so happy with Dr
Oguntause because they believe he was the only senior member of the team
that was not in support of their embezzlement depriving the hospital
and reduction of salaries paid to junior staffs.
They knew he will spill the beans TO EFCC.
On December 15, Lagos State High Court judge Lawal-Akapo issued a bench
warrant against the doctor.He ordered the EFCC to produce him on
January 26, 2015 to come and take his plea. Dr Omotosho was arrested
three days before xmas day. Dr Oguntause was going to take over as
acting while Dr Omotosho is suspended from office.
On xmas day 25th Dec 2014,Dr Oguntuase was killed and burnt beyond recongnition in his clinic at Akure .
May his soul rest in perfect peace."
