He said he was arrested by police over the allegations raised by the principal suspect in the case of Timoth Adedoyin an postgraduate student of OAU who was killed in Ile ife few months ago.

ADEBAYO Yousuph Grey Head of Station, Agidigbo 88.7 FM, Ibadan in a statement said ‘The premise of these invites and questioning is unconnected with his consistent call for due diligence in the trial of Chief Rahman Adegoke Adedoyin over the death of Timothy Adegoke who died under unfortunate circumstances in the former’s hotel in Osun State.

“It would be realized that Mr. Oriyomi Hamzat’s constant call for justice for the deceased has been a
source of concern for the accused.

However, the entire situation began to escalate when the SIB started plans to hand over Mr. Hamzat to the Force
Intelligence Bureau (FIB) and in the early hours of today, Thursday, 26th of May, 2022, he was arrested and as we
speak has been whisked away to Abuja.


“We seek to reiterate here to well-meaning Nigerians, the media and the general public, that the reason for which Mr. Oriyomi Hamzat was arrested is his defiant call for justice for Timothy Adegoke and extensive support for the deceased’s family.

“We, therefore appeal to all Nigerians to kindly lend their voice to ensure that Oriyomi Hamzat won’t be subjected to inhumane treatment and undue incarceration just for standing for the truth and for humanity.

“We are strengthened by the staunch support and camaraderie from several corners so far and we promise to keep
the general public abreast of further developments.
