The Court of Appeal in Akure, Ondo State, has upheld the death sentence of Dr. Ramon Adedoyin, a prominent hotel owner, 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 had earlier convicted Adedoyin and sentenced him to death.
