In the murder trial of Timothy Adegoke, a former master’s student at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, who passed away between November 5 and 7, 2021, at Hilton Honours Hotel, Ile-Ife, the well-known hotel owner Dr. Ramon Adedoyin has been found guilty.
Adegoke was killed while a guest at the hotel run by Adedoyin, according to the circumstantial evidence available to the court, according to Osun Chief Judge Adepele Ojo, who rendered her ruling on the case.
She claimed that since the weight of proof had been placed on him by the circumstantial evidence, Adedoyin’s decision to stay out of the witness box had not helped him.
In addition, Justice Ojo dismissed the alibi offered on behalf of Adedoyin by his attorney, who claimed that the hotel owner was in Abuja for several days around the time the late Adegoke died. Justice Ojo claimed that Adedoyin’s decision not to enter the witness box meant that he agreed to the murder charge brought against him by the prosecution.
