The owner of Hilton hotel, Dr. Rahman Adegoke Adedoyin who’s alleged to be the killer of OAU student Mr. Timothy Adegoke has renamed his hotel from Hilton to Excellence Hotel.
Timothy Adegoke, an MBA student at Obafemi Awololowo University (OAU), Ile Ife, was declared missing on November 7 2021
Adegoke is the founder of Oduduwa University and The Polytechnic, both in Ile-Ife, Osun state
Recall that Daily Observer had reported that Timothy, a postgraduate Business Administration (MBA) student of OAU was cleared missing after he lodged in the Hilton hotel to sit for his examination at the OAU distance learning center, Moro, Osun state.
He was said to have lodged in the Hilton Hotel located in Ife, Osun State a number of times between October 22 and November 5, 2021.
Timothy was in Ile-Ife from October 22nd to October 24th; October 29th to October 31st; and had also planned to stay from November 5th to November 7th, 2021.
He frequented the town to take MBA examinations scheduled at intervals.
However, he was declared missing after he checked in at the hotel on Friday, November 5, 2021, preceding his examinations scheduled for Saturday, November 6 and Sunday, November 7.
Following police investigation, money paid by Oludare for lodging was traced to one Adedeji Tobiloba Adesola, who work in the hotel.
“The investigation panel proceeded to Hilton to enquire whether Adegoke Oludare lodged again in the penultimate weekend which was 5th November 2021. They met the proprietor of this hotel (Chief Rahman Adegoke Adedoyin) but they denied that Adegoke Timothy Oludare lodged at their hotel.
“On Thursday 11 November 2021, investigation revealed that Adegoke Timothy Oludare transferred the sum of N37,000 from his account to a lady whose name is Adedeji Tobiloba Adesola and the details of the transfer showed that the transaction took place on Friday, 5th November 2021 that Adegoke Oludare’s wife claimed that her husband reported to have lodged at a hotel in Ile Ife.”
“Upon tracking the phone number on the said account, it was discovered that the owner of that number was at that moment at the Hilton Hotels and Resorts owned by Rahman Adedoyin. Police proceeded to the venue and Adedeji Tobiloba Adesola was fished out to be a staffer of the said hotel.
When Adesola was apprehended, she confessed to have allocated Room 35 of Hilton Hotels and Resorts to Oludare the same Friday. She was arrested and whisked to the Police headquarters in Osogbo.
On November 12, 2021, her confession led to the arrest of 6 other suspects by the police including a self-acclaimed Alfa (Islamic cleric) who claimed to have left Ile-Ife for Ejigbo on the same Friday Oludare was said to have disappeared.
Before the Alfa’s confession, police tracking had shown that Oludare’s phone was moved from Ile-Ife to Ejigbo between 5 and 6 November, 2021.
Meanwhile, on November 13, Adedoyin was alleged to have mobilised three top lawyers to Osogbo in order to pervert the investigation process.
The information gathered now was that Hilton hotel has been renamed to Excellence Hotel.
