Timothy Adegoke and Dr Ramon Adedoyin
OAU student murder: Appeal Court upholds Ramon Adedoyin’s death sentence
The Court of Appeal in Akure, Ondo State has upheld the death sentence of Dr. Ramon Adedoyin, a hotelier, in connection with the murder of Timothy Adegoke, a former Master’s student at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife.
In its ruling on Thursday, the appellate court affirmed the decision of the Osun State High Court which earlier convicted Adedoyin and sentenced him to death.
Adegoke lodged at Adedoyin’s Hilton Hotels and Resorts in Ile-Ife, Osun State upon his arrival from Abuja on November 5, 2021, to enable him to arrive early for his examination at the OAU Distance Learning Centre, Moro, in the state, on November 6 and 7, 2021.

“The judgment of the High Court of Osun State stands. Adedoyin’s appeal is dismissed in part. The Court of Appeal held that Adedoyin was properly convicted and sentenced to death,” the appellate court’s judgement read.
It further noted that the “Order of forfeiture of Hilton Hotel quashed and set aside. Order of education scholarship to children of Timothy Adegoke by Adedoyin and others quashed and set aside.”
