The spokesperson of the APC in Ondo State, ALEX KALEJAYE confirmed the incident to newsmen.

While the cause of his death is still unknown, AKINTELURE’s demise came days after the medical doctor turned politician raised an alarm about threats to his life.

Before then, he contested for the Ondo South senatorial election also under the ACN.

He was a Lagos-based private medical practitioner who hailed from Igbotako in Okitipupa Local Government Area of Ondo State.
