An Osun State High Court sitting in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, today remanded Rahman Adedoyin and six other suspects in prison custody over the death of Timothy Adegoke.
Rahman Adedoyin is the Chairman of Hilton Hotel, Ile-Ife, Osun State, the last known place that Timothy Adegoke lodged prior to his death.
Adegoke, an MBA student of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, died under suspicious circumstances at the hotel.
Adegoke, who has since been buried, had arrived Ile-Ife to write his examination and lodged in the hotel before meeting his death.
It would be recalled that the case was withdrawn from an Abuja High Court and started afresh at an Osun State High Court following the letter written to the Inspector-General of Police by the lead counsel of the deceased family, Mr. Femi Falana.
Adedoyin’s son, who is also a suspect, is still at large.
Details later.
