Trial judge Adepele Ojo had sentenced Mr Adedoyin and two members of his staff, Adeniyi Aderogba and Oyetunde Kazeem, to death by hanging over their involvement in the evacuation of the deceased from the hotel. “There is no doubt in the appellant’s involvement in the death of Adegoke. After the incident, Adedoyin assembled some of his staff to take the oath of secrecy. He took the said vehicle used to convey the deceased to his house in Abuja, and he instructed his staff to cover up the entire circumstances surrounding the gruesome murder of the deceased,” Mr Falana argued.
He urged the court to allow the appeal and discharge the appellant of all the counts by which he was found guilty by the lower court. The police began an investigation after his family raised the alarm, leading to the arrest of the owner of the hotel, Mr Adedoyin, and six employees.
