The Ogun State Police Command has arrested three suspects in connection with the murder of veteran broadcaster Madam Olakitan Oyesiku and her security guard, Pelumi Adetayo.
According to the police, one of the suspects, a 22-year-old man, allegedly recruited the others for the attack.
The command said a handwritten note recovered from the scene, alongside technical tracking of the deceased’s missing vehicle, played a key role in cracking the case.
Commissioner of Police, Bode Ojajuni, disclosed this on Thursday during a press briefing at the command headquarters in Eleweran, Abeokuta.
Ojajuni said the case was reported at the Owode-Egba Police Station on June 21, 2026, after suspicious circumstances were noticed at Oyesiku’s residence.
According to him, the front door of the house had been partially damaged, while the security house within the compound was found locked.
Detectives who responded to the scene discovered Adetayo, 38, dead inside the security house, while Oyesiku’s body was found in a pool of blood in the living room.
The police commissioner added that preliminary investigations revealed that Oyesiku’s Lexus RX 330 was missing from the premises, raising immediate suspicion of robbery and murder.
Further investigation later led to the arrest of the three suspects, with the police saying efforts are ongoing to conclude the case and ensure prosecution.
