The Osun State High Court of Nigeria has sentenced the owner of Hilton Hotel and Resort, Ile-Ife, Abdulrahman Adedoyin, to death by hanging over the murder of a post-graduate student of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Timothy Adegoke. The hotelier was sentenced to death alongside two others found guilty of murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
Mr Adegoke, a Business Administration (MBA) student, travelled from Abuja to Ile-Ife to sit for his examination. He lodged in the hotel, where he hoped to stay out the period of the examinations but was declared missing by the police on 7 November 2021.
A few days later, the Osun State Police command released a statement disclosing that the 37-year-old student had been found dead. The details of the circumstances of his death were not disclosed in the statement.
