 M23 says hundreds of Burundi soldiers captured in latest Congo offensive The Rwanda-backed M23 group has captured hundreds of Burundian soldiers during its latest offensive in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, a rebel official said, as clashes continued despite a warning from the Trump administration. Last week M23 entered the strategic town of Uvira near the border with Burundi, less than a week after the presidents of Congo and Rwanda met in Washington with U.S. President Donald Trump and affirmed their commitment to a peace deal known as the Washington Accords.

 OAU student murder: Adedoyin to die by hanging, Appeal Court affirms


The Court of Appeal in Akure, Ondo State, has affirmed the death sentence of Ramon Adedoyin, the owner of Hilton Hotels, who was convicted of murdering Timothy Adegoke, a former Master’s student of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Osun State.


In its judgment delivered on Thursday, the appellate court upheld the ruling of the Osun State High Court, confirming that the original judgment still stands.


The judgement reads in parts: “The judgment of the High Court of Osun State stands. Adedoyin’s appeal is dismissed in part.


“The Court of Appeal held that Adedoyin was properly convicted and sentenced to death.


“Order of forfeiture of Hilton Hotel quashed and set aside.


“Order of education scholarship to children of Timothy Adegoke by Adedoyin and others quashed and set aside.”


Persecondnews recalls that in a judgment delivered in May 2023, the Chief Judge of Osun State, Justice Adepele Ojo, pronounced Adedoyin and two staff members of the hotel guilty of murder.


The court went further to sentence Adedoyin, Adeniyi Aderogba and Oyetunde Kazeem to death.


It, however, freed three of the hotel workers — Magdalene Chiefuna, Oluwole Lawrence and Adebayo Kunle.


Adegoke was found dead in November 2021 at Adedoyin’s Hilton Honours Hotel, Ile-Ife, where he (the deceased) had lodged.
