Justice Ojo also said Adedoyin's decision not to enter the witness box meant he agreed to the mu-rder charge pressed against him by the prosecution, dismissing the alibi pleaded on his behalf by his counsel, who said the hotel owner was in Abuja for many days around the time the death of the late Adegoke occurred.
