Mr Timothy Oludare, a Master student of Business Administration (MBA) of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), in November 2021 traveled from Abuja where he resides leaving his wife and children behind to Ile-Ife,Osun state to write a professional examination in Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU).
According to the testimony of the wife, Timothy contacted the wife when he got to Ife to confirm his safe arrival. The next day being the day of the exam, the wife called him in the morning to wish him success in the exam but nobody answered the call. The wife kept calling, she called all day but the husband didn’t answer the phone call.
The wife became frantic and contacted the relatives of the husband and told them about how she had tried all day to get in touch with the husband but the husband was not picking up the call. The relatives of Timothy sent some representatives of the family to go to the exams center at the university and confirm with the examiners if they have seen their son.

The examiners checked the examination attendance register and it was confirmed that Mr. Timothy didn’t take the examination and they haven’t seen him. The family members quickly approached the nearest police station in Ife to report that their son was missing.
During the police investigation, the police found out that Mr. Timothy had transferred the sum of N37,000 into one woman’s bank account and the woman was traced to be a staff of Hilton hotels and resort, Ile-Ife where Mr. Timothy had checked in the previous day. The woman was arrested and during interrogations she confessed that she had met Mr. Timothy the previous day and had allocated room 305 to the man. The woman’s confession led to the arrest of 6 other suspects who also confessed to have invaded the room of Mr. Timothy in the night and have killed him and buried him at a shallow grave at the direction of their boss Chief Rahmon Adedoyin who happens to be the owner of the hotel Mr. Timothy had checked in.
All evidence and investigations point to Chief Rahmon Adedoyin as the primary suspect who has also been in numerous police suspect lists as a top ritualist in Ife who kills some of his unfortunate hotel guests for rituals.
We want to believe that the “Nigerian system” will not happen in this case and that those involved in the dead of Mr. Timothy Oludare meet their Waterloo.
