On Thursday, the Osun State High Court premises were heavily guarded as the trial of the owner of the Hilton Hotel and Resort in Ile-Ife, Dr Rahmon Adedoyin, and six others began over their alleged involvement in the death of Timothy Adegoke.
Adegoke was a postgraduate student at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) in Ile-Ife, Osun State, at the time of his death.
Adedoyin was charged with attempted felony, conspiracy, unlawful interference with Adegoke’s corpse, and tampering with the hotel’s receipt and CCTV camera with the intent to destroy evidence that the victim visited the hotel.
Others charged alongside him were Adedeji Adesola, Magdalene Chiefuna, Adeniyi Aderogba, Oluwale Lawrence, Oyetunde Kazeem, Adebayo Kunle, and others at large.
Those still at large are Prince Rahim Adedoyin, Esther Asifo, and Quadiri Moshood.
