Our correspondent gathered from an Embassy source who doesn't want to be quoted that Adefuye who was at his office at the Nigerian embassy, Washington DC, hale and hearty throughout Tuesday developed cold on his way to the office on Wednesday morning.
With this development, the former envoy was said to have called his aides at the Embassy that he would be returning back to his house at Potomac, Maryland, to have some rest.
He decided to branch at a pharmacy to get some drugs but it was gathered that he developed a heart attack right at the pharmacy. An ambulance was called for him and he was rushed to Suburban Hospital in Washington, DC.
The embassy source also confirmed that the deceased was stabilized by doctors at Suburban Hospital who attended to him. He pressed further that the doctors however told his family and a few staff of the embassy around him that he would have to pass the night at the hospital for a close medical watch.
