Gunmen have murdered a retired Ogun State Television (OGTV) broadcaster, Mrs Kitan Oyesiku, popularly known as “Aunty Kitan,” and her security guard at her home in the Agodo community along the Abeokuta–Siun–Sagamu Expressway in the early hours of Sunday.
The bodies of the two victims were subsequently deposited at the morgue of the State Hospital, Ijaiye, Abeokuta, as circumstances surrounding the killings remained unclear at press time.
According to a source, the tragedy was uncovered by church members who went to check on Oyesiku after she failed to appear at Sunday service.
“What we heard was that it was some church members who actually discovered this horrendous incident. They had come around to check on Mrs Oyesiku when they did not see her in the church. On getting to her residence, they found out that the security officer had been killed, and they later also saw that the assailants had also killed Mrs Oyesiku. That was how they raised the alarm in the community,” the source told Punch.
The Ogun State Police Command spokesperson, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, confirmed the killings, adding that an official statement would be released shortly.
Oyesiku was a well-regarded figure in Ogun’s media community, having served at the state-owned television station before her retirement.
