An Appellate Court sitting in Akure, Ondo State, has upheld the death sentence handed to an Osun State prominent hotelier and Ile-Ife Prince, Dr. Ramon Adedoyin.
Adedoyin was sentenced to death for his involvement in the murder of an Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife masters’ student, Timothy Adegoke.
The court affirmed the verdict of the Osun State High Court, which had sentenced Adedoyin to death on Thursday.
The Court, which has reserved the judgement since October 29, 2024, declared that the judgment of the High Court of Osun State stands.
It, however, set aside some aspects of the lower court’s orders including Order of forfeiture of Hilton Hotel and order of education scholarship to children of Timothy Adegoke by Adedoyin.
Adegoke’s death was reported in November 2021, after he was discovered lifeless at the Hilton Honours Hotel in Ile-Ife, where he had lodged.
