Dr Ramon Adedoyin
An Osun State High Court, Osogbo presided by Justice Oyebola Ojo has ruled that Hilton Hotel owner, Dr. Rahmon Adedoyin, and six workers have a case to answer over the death of an MBA student of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Timothy Adegoke.
The Nation reports that the defendants’ counsel led by Yusuf Alli, SAN told the court at the last sitting that the defendants do not have a case to answer because the prosecution failed to establish any case against them, which the prosecutor, M O Omosun opposed.
At the sitting on Wednesday, Justice Ojo said a prima facie case was established against all the defendants.
