The Ogun State Police Command is investigating the deaths of retired Ogun State Television broadcaster Kitan Oyesiku and her security guard at her residence in Iyana Agodo Village, Owode-Egba area.

The late former staff of Ogun State Television, Mrs. Kitan Oyesiku.

The incident came to light on Sunday, June 21, 2026, after a resident alerted officers at the Owode Egba Division over suspicious activities around the property. Police detectives who responded said preliminary checks showed signs of forced entry and disturbance within the compound.

During a search, officers found the guard’s body at his duty post, while Oyesiku’s body was later discovered inside her apartment. The retired broadcaster’s vehicle was also missing from the premises, which police said raised further suspicion of foul play.

Oyesiku, popularly known as “Aunty Kitan,” was a well-known media personality in Ogun before her retirement. Community sources said church members discovered the incident after noticing she was absent from service and went to check on her. The bodies were later moved to the morgue of State Hospital, Ijaiye, Abeokuta.

Ogun Commissioner of Police Bode Ojajuni has ordered a full investigation, with detectives intensifying intelligence-led operations and surveillance to identify those responsible and recover the stolen vehicle. Police spokesperson DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi confirmed the probe and urged the public to remain calm and provide useful information.

While some reports described the attack as carried out by gunmen, the police cautioned against speculation. In a follow-up statement, the command said preliminary findings showed no gunshot wounds and urged media and the public to avoid unverified reports that could mislead investigations.

The command extended condolences to Oyesiku’s family, OGTV management, and the media community, describing the incident as tragic.
