The Chief Judge of Osun State, Justice Oyebola Adepele Ojo, denied the application for bail of Dr. Rahmon Adedoyin, the owner of the Hilton Hotel and Resort in Ile-Ife, and six others prosecuted for the alleged murder of Timothy Adegoke, a Master student at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU).
On March 3, 2022, the defendants were arraigned on 11 counts of conspiracy, murder, and change of receipt, among other things.
In his decision on the application for bail, Justice Ojo noted that the prosecution has refuted the allegations of the first defendant’s counsel, Adedoyin, K. K. Eleja, that the defendant requires medical attention.
She pointed out that the defendant is not in serious condition, according to the medical report attached to the bail application.
The court also determined that the other defendants’ health conditions, as stated in their motion, do not indicate that they are in a critical situation.
All seven accused were eventually denied bail by Justice Ojo.
Adedoyin, Adedeji Adesola (23), Magdalene Chiefuna (24), Adeniyi Aderogba (37), Oluwale Lawrence (37), Oyetunde Kazeem (38), Adebayo Kunle (39), Adebayo Kunle (39), Adebayo Kunle (39), Adebayo Kunle (39), Adebayo Kunle (39), Adebayo Kun (35).
The court held that the case would be given accelerated hearing to ensure that Justice is not delayed.
