While the deceased was rumoured to have had history of a mental disorder, FMC’s Public Relations Officer (PRO), Segun Orisajo, who spoke with LEADERSHIP over the tragic incident said such suspicion could not be ascertained as Adeniyi did not display such tendency throughout the period of his working with the hospital.
