Appeal Court upholds Adedoyin’s death sentence over murder of OAU student

The Court of Appeal in Akure, Ondo State has upheld the death sentence of Dr Ramon Adedoyin, a hotelier, in connection with the murder of Timothy Adegoke, a former Master’s student at Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, Ile Ife.

In its ruling on Thursday, January 23, 2025, the appellate Court affirmed the decision of the Osun State High Court which earlier convicted Adedoyin and sentenced him to death.

Recall that Adegoke lodged at Adedoyin’s Hilton Hotels and Resorts in Ile-Ife, Osun State upon his arrival from Abuja on November 5, 2021, to enable him to arrive early for his examination at the OAU Distance Learning Centre, in the State, on November 6 and 7, 2021.

He later went missing and was found dead with body buried in a shallow grave following an investigation by the police.
