P.M.NEWS learnt from a family sources that Adeoti had been battling with an undisclosed ailment that had incapacitated him in the last five months.
Adeoti, according to the sources, lost both hiswife and mother this year. This, we learnt, had weighed him down and could have aggravated his illness.
He came into the limelight when he was arrested over the burning of INEC office in Ido-Ekiti. He was whisked away to Abuja but later charged to court and released.
