Barrister Wale Ogunade

Ogunade, who wrote an open letter to the IGP on behalf of the deceased family, urged the police boss to set up a specialised homicide team to investi­gate the matter, saying, the manner at which the Osun State Command had been handling the matter was worrisome.

It would be recalled that the deceased, Timothy Ade­goke Oludare, a Chartered Accountant from Eruwa, Oyo State, was declared missing by his family af­ter he left Abuja on Friday November 5, 2021 to Akure airport foro Ife.

He later lodged at Hil­ton Hotel at Ile Ife in Osun state.

Chief Ramon Adedoyin, Chairman of Hilton Hotel and Resort where the de­ceased lodged and six oth­er persons, were indicted in the alleged murder of Timothy Adegoke and they have since been arrested by the police.
