Seven suspects allegedly involved in the death of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, student, Timothy Adegoke, have arrived in Osogbo, Osun State, for trial.
They include Hotelier, Ramon Adedoyin, Adedeji Adesola, Magdalena Chiefuna, Adeniyi Aderogba, Oluwale Lawrence, Oyetunde Kazeem and Adebayo Kunle.
Counsel to Adegoke’s family, Femi Falana, demanded that the matter be transferred to Osun after the suspects had been arraigned before a Federal High Court in Abuja.
Adedoyin was alleged to have unlawfully interfered with the body while Adesola, Chiefuna, Aderogba, Lawrence, Kazeem and Kunle were arraigned on seven-count charges of conspiracy, attempted murder, and murder, among others.
The case was struck out on February 7, 2022.
Meanwhile, a top security source said that “Chief Ramon Adedoyin and other suspects have arrived in Osun ahead of the commencement of their trial on Thursday. They arrived in the state on Wednesday evening.”
Police spokesman, Yemisi Opalola, confirmed that the trial will begin today.
