The Ogun State Police Command has launched an investigation into the death of retired Ogun State Television (OGTV) broadcaster, Ms Kitan Oyesiku, and her security guard, whose bodies were found at her residence in Iyana Agodo Village, Abeokuta.

The incident was reported to the Owode Egba Police Division on Sunday by a resident who raised the alarm over suspicious activities at the property.

Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi in a statement he issued on Sunday, said detectives deployed to the scene observed signs of forced entry and disturbance within the premises.

According to him, the security guard’s body was discovered in the security post, while Oyesiku’s corpse was later found inside her apartment.

“The victim’s vehicle was also observed missing from the premises,” the police spokesman said.

Oyesiku, a former staff member of OGTV, was a familiar figure in Ogun State’s media industry.

Babaseyi said the Commissioner of Police, CP Bode Ojajuni, had ordered a comprehensive investigation into the incident and directed detectives to apprehend those responsible.

“An intensive investigation is ongoing to unravel the facts, track down and apprehend the perpetrators of this heinous act, while ensuring that all those involved are brought to justice,” he stated.

He added that surveillance and intelligence-led operations had been intensified across relevant locations to aid the investigation.

The command sympathised with the family of the deceased, the OGTV community and other affected persons, assuring residents that no effort would be spared to ensure justice.

It also urged members of the public to remain vigilant and provide useful information that could assist investigators.
