An Osun High Court presided over by Justice Oyebola Ojo has reserved judgment on the case of Hilton Hotel owner, Dr Rahmon Adedoyin and six staff over alleged murder of Master student of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Timothy Adegoke.

Justice Ojo adjourned the trial for today for adoption of final written addresses from the prosecution and defense counsel.

Adedoyin with six of his staff: Magdalene Chiefuna, Adeniyi Aderogba, Oluwole Lawrence, Oyetunde Kazeem Adebayo Kunle and Adedeji Adesola were standing trial on 18 count of conspiracy, murder, felony, indecent interference of the corpse, alteration and cancellation of receipt and oath-taking to prevent justice.

Arguing on Thursday, counsel to Adedoyin, Yusuf Alli countered Falana by challenging his locus to prosecute the case, noting that it is not in agreement with the law and the fiat granted to him to prosecute Adedoyin and other staff was not properly obtained. He prayed the court to prohibit Falana from participating in the case as prosecutor.

Falana stated he was properly introduced by the counsel from the Osun State Ministry of Justice to take over the matter as prosecutor and no law compulsory it for him to produce the fiat granted to him by the ministry to prosecute the matter before the court. He urge the court to dismiss the prayer of the defense counsel else if their prayer is granted, it may set the trial back.

Justice Ojo pronounced that judgment on arguments on fiat, she said judgment will be delivered alongside the final judgement of the case. (The Nation)
