Olusegun Sylvester Ojo, a Professor of Consultant Pathologist
at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital Complex, (OAUTHC),Ile-Ife,
Osun State has told an Osun State High Court that the cause of the death of
Timothy Adegoke may be natural.
Ojo made this known during the resumed hearing of the murder
case against the founder of Hilton hotel, Ile-Ife, Ramon Adedoyin and six
others on Wednesday at the Osun State High Court, Osogbo.
His report was made after examining the autopsy report on
late Timothy Adegoke Oluwadamilare, which was conducted on November 22, 2021.
Ojo also told the court that the death of Adegoke could not be anatomically determined.
Timothy Adegoke, was an Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU),
Ile-Ife, postgraduate student, who was allegedly killed inside the Hilton
Hotels and Suites owned by Rahman Adedoyin, for which he and six of his workers
are facing trial.
Recall that the High Court had adjourned hearing on the
matter to May 25, 2022, to allow the defendants to open their defence.
At the resumed trial, Femi Falana cross examined the
Consultant Pathologist, who revealed that the advanced stage of the decomposing
body had made it difficult to determine the cause of death.
The pathologist further ruled out violence as the cause of
death of Adegoke Timothy.
In his words, “No internal bleeding, no evidence of external
bleeding.”
Dr W. A. Oluogun, and seven other pathologists carried out
the autopsy on Timothy Adegoke’s body.
The defendants, Adedoyin, Magdalene Chiefuna (24), Adeniyi
Aderogba (37), Oluwale Lawrence (37), Oyetunde Kazeem (38), Adebayo Kunle (35)
and Adedeji Adesola (23), were arraigned on March 3 on an 11 count charge
bothering on conspiracy to commit murder, unlawful killing of Timothy Adegoke,
conspiracy to commit a felony, dumping of the body of Adegoke, conspiracy to
improperly and indecently interfere with the body of Adegoke, conspiracy to
alter receipt, altering and cancelling of receipt and administering of
