The Osun state police command has confirmed the arrest of the owner of Oduduwa university and chairman of Hilton Hotel and Resort, Ile-Ife, Dr. Ramon Adegoke Atobatele Adedoyin, in connection with the death of one Timothy Adegoke, a master's student of the Obafemi Awolowo University.
Recall that Timothy's decomposed body was traced to the hotel several days after he was reported missing on November 7, by his family. He was said to have travelled from Abuja to Ile- Ife on November 5, 2021, to take an examination at the OAU distance learning centre in Moro, Osun State, but never showed up at the exam venue and his family members could not reach him either.
Six people were later arrested in connection to his disappearance and the owner of the hotel and proprietor of Oduduwa University, Dr Ramon Adegoke Atobatele Adedoyin has been confirmed as one of the suspects in the murder.
According to reports, when the police question the hotel management about the whereabouts of the student, they vehemently denied having the student as a guest, but upon further investigation, the police were able to establish that Timothy had lodged in the hotel for the night.
His body was eventually found in a blood-soaked bedsheet/blanket belonging to the hotel and buried in a shallow grave at the hotel premises, with some of his vital organs missing in a case of suspected ritual activities.
