Ile-Ife, Osun State born hotelier , Dr. Ramon Adedoyin, and two of his employees who were found guilty of killing Timothy Adegoke, an ex-Masters student at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, have appealed the decision before a higher court.
It will be recalled that the chief judge of Osun State, Adepele Ojo, who presided over the case, condemned Adedoyin and two of his staff members who helped remove the dead from the hotel, Adeniyi Aderogba and Oyetunde Kazeem, to death by hanging
Additionally, Justice Ojo ruled that the hotel where Adegoke died should be turned over to the state government, and that the convicts’ estates should pay for the deceased’s children’s education up until they graduate from higher institutions.
The seventh defendant, Adesola Adedeji, who was the receptionist on duty on the day late Adegoke arrived at the facility, was sentenced to two years in prison beginning on the day of her arrest. The judge did release three hotel employees, Magdalene Chiefuna, Oluwole Lawrence, and Adebayo Kunle.
Confirming that the convicts had appealed the judgment of the Osun State High Court on the matter, one of the lawyers that represented Adedoyin in the case, Mr Muhydeen Adeoye, during an interview with our correspondent on Thursday, said, “We have filed an appeal against the judgment of Osun State High Court. The appeal was filed before the Court of Appeal, Akure.”
