Justice Adepele Ojo of Osun State High Court sitting in Osogbo has declined bail applications brought before her by Dr Rahman Adedoyin and six of his hotel workers over the murder of Timothy Adegoke.
Adegoke was a Masters degree student of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife and was allegedly murdered in November 2021.
Delivering a ruling on the applications, Justice Ojo, who is the Chief Judge of Osun State, said the defendant’s medical conditions are not too serious beyond what the medical team of correctional service can handle.
She added that the defendants have failed to prove that the correctional service did not have adequate facilities to take care of their medical issues.
According to her, the nature of the offences preferred against the defendants demands that the court be cautious in granting such bail applications.
She thereby ordered their continued detention in prison facilities as the trial continues.
