The Founder of Oduduwa University and owner of Hilton Hotel and Resort, Dr. Rahmon Adedoyin has his hope of temporary freedom dashed as he lost the bid for bail.
Dr. Adedoyin and some of his staff are on trial for the alledged killing of late Timothy Adegoke, a Master Student of Obafemi Awolowo, Ile Ife, Osun State.
The deceased was reported dead and buried in a shallow grave when he lodged in one hotel belonging to Dr. Adedoyin.
He was first arraigned in Abuja before he was transferred to Oshogbo on the request of Femi Falana, SAN representing the family.
At today’s proceeding an Osun State High Court sitting in Osogbo has refused the bail application filed on health ground.
Adedoyin and six others arrested in connection with the death of a Master’s Degree student of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Timothy Adegoke.
He was arraigned and remanded till Monday for ruling on their bail application.
Justice Adepele-Ojo, in her ruling on the bail application, held that counsel to the defendant had sought bail based on health grounds.
She also noted that the prosecution, in its counter application, said that Adedoyin had already commenced treatment in Abuja.
