Autopsy Of OAU Student, Adegoke Will Determine Next Actions On Hilton Hotel Owner, Son – Police
The Osun State Police Command on Thursday stated that the son of the owner of Hilton Hotel and Resorts, Ile-Ife, Raheem Adedoyin, had not been declared wanted for complicity in the murder of the late Timothy Adegoke because the autopsy result into the cause of the death of the student was not yet out.
This was made known by the Police Public Relations Officer for the state command, Yemisi Opalola, noting that the owner of the hotel, Dr Ramon Adedoyin was still in police custody and yet charged to court because the autopsy result was yet to be out.
“The autopsy result is not yet out,” she said.
SaharaReporters earlier reported that the family of the Master of Business Administration (MBA) student of Obafemi Awolowo University, who died mysteriously after lodging at Hilton Hotels and Resorts in Ile Ife had rebuked the police for failing to arrest Raheem Adedoyin, who was recently said to have dumped Timothy's corpse in the bush.
In a statement by the family’s lawyer, Kayode Ajulo which was obtained by SaharaReporters on Thursday, Timothy’s family had reiterated that all those scheming to distort justice for the dead would not be spared to face the wrath of the law.
“Considering the circumstances of the disingenuously orchestrated murder of Mr. Timothy Adegoke Oludare, the Law Enforcement Agency whose primary duty is to protect lives of citizens ought to exert the same energy invested in trailing and arresting suspected secessionists in arresting Mr. Raheem Adedoyin, who is allegedly at large.
“While one wonders whether the labelling of Raheem Adedoyin as a prime suspect is a game plan to unclamp Dr. Rahman Adedoyin, a panoptic appraisal of the whole saga will reveal nothing more than an attempt by some dark sections to allow glittering externalities to subvert the core of genuine probing and discreet investigations in the guise to pervert the cause of justice which we shall definitely refute.
“Now that the Police know so much, it is time to start asking more questions: Why has Raheem Adedoyin not been declared wanted and an intelligence team churned out to arrest him?
“Why would the hoteliers break into the late Timothy Adegoke’s room on the first night when he actually paid for two nights at the hotel?
“Why have the suspects not been charged before a Court of Competent record as prescribed by the Constitution?
“Without doubt, it must be clear to those who still have eyes to see and a conscience which is alive, that the credibility of the Nigerian Police Force at such a crucial time like this depends in large measure on their handling of this present case where some persons have declared themselves as the untouchables,” Ajulo had said.
