The Ogun State Police Command has launched a full-scale investigation into the killing of retired Ogun State Television (OGTV) broadcaster, Mrs. Kitan Oyesiku, popularly known as “Aunty Kitan,” and her security guard after unknown gunmen reportedly attacked her residence in Abeokuta.
The tragic incident occurred in the early hours of Sunday at the deceased’s home in the Kobape area of Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
Oyesiku, a respected media personality who served with OGTV before her retirement, was reportedly murdered alongside her security guard during the attack.
According to reports, the assailants forcefully gained entry into the residence before carrying out the deadly operation. The body of the security guard was discovered inside the security post, while Oyesiku’s corpse was later found within her apartment.
Confirming the development, the Police Public Relations Officer of the Ogun State Command, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, said detectives were immediately dispatched to the scene after the incident was reported at the Owode Egba Division by a resident of Iyana Agodo Village.
He disclosed that preliminary findings revealed signs of forced entry and disturbance within the premises, suggesting a violent intrusion.
Babaseyi further stated that the deceased’s vehicle was missing from the residence, raising suspicions that the attack may have involved robbery.
“The incident was reported on Sunday, June 21, 2026, by a resident who noticed suspicious activities at the residence. Police detectives were immediately deployed to the scene, where preliminary assessment revealed signs of forced entry and disturbance,” he said.
“During a thorough search of the premises, the corpse of the security guard was discovered within the security post, while the body of Oyesiku was later found inside her apartment. The victim’s vehicle was also observed missing from the premises.”
The spokesperson noted that the Commissioner of Police in Ogun State, CP Bode Ojajuni, has directed an intensive investigation to uncover the circumstances surrounding the killings and ensure that those responsible are brought to justice.
He added that surveillance and intelligence-driven operations have been expanded across strategic locations as part of efforts to track down the perpetrators.
The police command also expressed condolences to the family of the deceased, the Ogun State Television community, and members of the media profession affected by the loss.
Residents have been urged to remain calm, stay vigilant, and provide any useful information that could assist investigators in solving the case.
