Timothy Adegoke, a former postgraduate student of Obafemi Awolowo University (OUA), Ile-Ife, was killed inside a room at the Hilton Hotels Ile-Ife, owned by Dr. Ramon Adedoyin, in November 2021. Adedoyin and six of his workers were arrested and arranged in connection with the murder.

The court, presided over by Osun State Chief Judge, Justice Oyebola Adepele Ojo, found Adedoyin and three of his workers guilty of murder and conspiracy.

During the verdict, Justice Oyebola Adepele Ojo said that the circumstantial evidence before the court pointed to the unlawful killing of Adegoke, who was a guest at Adedoyin’s hotel.

Justice Oyebola Adepele Ojo mentioned that Adedoyin’s decision not to testify in court did not work in his favor as the circumstantial evidence shifted the burden of proof to him.

She further pointed out that Adedoyin’s refusal to testify implied his approval of the murder charge brought against him by the prosecutors and rejected his lawyer’s alibi, which claimed that the hotel owner was in Abuja for an extended period of time at the time of Adegoke’s death.

However, Justice Ojo discharged and acquitted three of the staff members: Magdalene Chiefuna, Lawrence Oluwole, and Adedeji Adesola. The sentencing of the seventh defendant is scheduled for Wednesday after both prosecutors and defense attorneys appealed.

According to The Cable, the judge ordered the seizure of the hotel and the Hilux bus used to transport the deceased to the landfill. Justice Ojo also ordered Adedoyin to pay the school fees for Adegoke’s two children.

Timothy Adegoke had stayed at the Hilton Hotels and Resorts in Ile-Ife on arrival from Abuja on November 5, 2021, in order to be on time for his exam at the OAU Distance Learning Center in Moro, Osun State, on November 6th and 7th, 2021.

However, on November 7th, 2021, he was reported missing by the police, when friends and family members were unable to reach him.

Later, after a police investigation into the hotel owner, Dr. Rahman Adedoyin, and his workers, Timothy’s body was discovered buried in a grave.
