He is the owner of a prestigious university and a magnificent hotel.
Once considered a top contender for the revered position of Ooni of Ife, his involvement in heinous ritual killings has tarnished his reputation.
The numerous murders he committed went unnoticed for far too long, as he callously ended the lives of unsuspecting customers, disposing of their bodies in shallow graves.
Shockingly, he even enlisted the help of his own son and staff to carry out these despicable acts, all while evading capture.
Eventually, his reign of terror came to an end when he was apprehended. However, his pride and arrogance prevented him from being transported in a regular police vehicle. Instead, he arrived at court in luxurious exotic cars, defying the typical image of being escorted in a police van.
Refusing to appear in the dock for cross-examination, he arrogantly proclaimed that his lawyers had already said everything necessary. Little did he know that his hubris would contribute to his downfall.
While in detention, he continued to exert control and influence, living a life akin to that of a king, as he manipulated the system to his advantage.
Meanwhile, the families of his victims suffered in anguish, haunted by the memories of their loved ones. Even the journalists who dared to investigate his case were subjected to threats and intimidation.
Today, justice is served. He will face the ultimate punishment—execution by hanging, as his life is snuffed out.
Prince Rahman Adedoyin, a cancer in our society, whose actions have left a deep scar on our collective conscience.
