An Osun State High Court on Thursday remanded in a
correctional facility the owner of Hilton Royal Hotel, Ile-Ife, Dr Ramon
Adedoyin, and six others arrested in connection with the death of a Master’s
degree student of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Timothy Adegoke.
Adegoke, as well as, Adedeji Adesola, Magdalene Chiefuna,
Adeniyi Aderogba, Oluwale Lawrence, Oyetunde Kazeem and Adebayo Kunle had
appeared before the court on 11 counts bordering on murder, indecent
interference with a dead body, administration of extrajudicial oath and
alteration to conceal evidence.
All the defendants pleaded not guilty and counsel
representing them, Mr. Kunle Adegoke, SAN, and K. Eleja, SAN, moved
applications for bail for the first to sixth defendants.
Adegoke however informed the court that a formal application
for bail could not be filed for the seventh defendant because she was added
less than 24 hours earlier to the list.
The prosecutor, M. Omosun, opposed the bail applications.
In her ruling, Justice Adepele Ojo, adjourned till Friday
for the defence to file and move formal bail application for the seventh
defendant.
She subsequently remanded all the defendants in Ilesa
correctional facility.
