Dr. Rahman Adedoyin, the owner of Hilton Hotel in Ile Ife, Osun State, has been sentenced to death by happening over the murder of a Master’s student of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) Ile-Ife, Timothy Adegoke.
The court presided over by the state Chief judge, Justice Oyebola Ojo, found Adedoyin and three of his staff guilty of murder and conspiracy on Tuesday, May 30.
Our reports gathered that Justice Ojo made the declaration while reading his judgment during the ongoing trial of Adedoyin and other suspects in Osogbo.
It would be recalled that Adegoke died in controversial circumstances at Hilton Hotel in Ile-Ife on November 6, 2021, three days after he lodged at the hotel to sit for an examination at the school’s distance learning center in Moro. He was subsequently buried by the hotel management in a shallow grave without the knowledge of his family or the police.
