Rahman Adedoyin and six other suspects have been remanded in prison by an Osun state high court sitting in Osogbo over the death of Timothy Adegoke.<\/p>\n
The order was given on Thursday by presiding judge, Oyebola Adepele during\u00a0the arraignment of the suspects.<\/p>\n
The judge ruled that they should be remanded at the Ilesa correctional facility.<\/p>\n
The suspects include Adegoke, Adedeji Adesola, Magdalene Chiefuna, Adeniyi Aderogba, Oluwale Lawrence, Oyetunde Kazeem, and Adebayo Kunle.<\/p>\n
Adegoke, a postgraduate student of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), was said to have traveled from Abuja to write an exam at a distance learning centre in Moro, Osun state on November 5.<\/p>\n
He was, however, declared missing two days later \u2014 only to be found dead.<\/p>\n
The police had arrested Adedoyin and the six suspects said to be staff members of Hilton Hotels and Resort, Ile-Ife where the deceased lodged.<\/p>\n
Adedoyin is the owner of the hotel. Their arrest was in connection to the student\u2019s death.<\/p>\n
The suspects are facing an 11-count charge bordering on conspiracy and murder among others \u2014 although they all pleaded not guilty to the charges.<\/p>\n
During the court hearing, the counsel representing the suspects moved applications for bail for the first to sixth defendants.<\/p>\n
The prosecutor, however, opposed the bail applications.<\/p>\n
In her verdict, the judge adjourned the case to Friday to hear the bail application while the trial is expected to resume fully next Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
