Ogun Police Arrest Three Over Murder of Former OGTV Broadcaster, Security Guard
The Ogun State Police Command has arrested three suspects in connection with the murder of former Ogun State Television (OGTV) broadcaster, Kitan Oyesiku, and her security guard at her home in Owode-Egba, Obafemi Owode Local Government Area.
Parading the suspects at the state police headquarters in Eleweran, Abeokuta on Wednesday, Commissioner of Police Bode Ojajuni said the principal suspect confessed that the killings were meant to “teach her a lesson” over poor pay.
Ojajuni said a report was received at Owode-Egba Police Station on June 21, 2026, after neighbours noticed the front door of Oyesiku’s residence had been partially damaged and the security post locked. Officers who responded found Oyesiku lying in a pool of blood in her living room, while her guard, Pelumi Adetayo, 38, was discovered dead inside the security house. A Lexus RX 330 vehicle belonging to the deceased was also missing from the compound.
Through intelligence gathering and technical tracking, operatives recovered the vehicle on June 22 at the Onikolobo area of Ogun State. The ignition key had been removed and the number plates detached, but detectives found the registration plate hidden under one of the seats, confirming the vehicle as Oyesiku’s property.
A handwritten note recovered from the crime scene was subjected to forensic analysis, generating leads that helped trace the suspects. The principal suspect, Sodeinde Olajuwon Philip, 22, was arrested on June 24 at a construction site in Ibara GRA, Abeokuta, where he was working as a labourer. Subsequent operations led to the arrest of Sakirudeen Abdulraheem Ayoola, 27, a security guard, and Sobu Obafunsho, 36, a bricklayer.
During interrogation, Philip allegedly admitted to planning and coordinating the attack after accumulating grievances while working as a security guard in Oyesiku’s employment. He told investigators that the killings were motivated by her low salary and her refusal to give him money on demand. He further stated that he recruited Ayoola and Obafunsho to carry out the attack on June 20, 2026.
According to police, the suspects first overpowered Adetayo and used him to gain entry into the residence before attacking Oyesiku. A broken hammer, cutlass, plank, and black pen were recovered as exhibits.
Ojajuni said investigation is ongoing and that all suspects would be charged in court.
