Nigeria’s Ogun State police command has announced that three suspects have been arrested over the alleged murder of veteran Nigerian broadcaster, Olakitan Oyesiku, and her security guard, Pelumi Adetayo.
The Commissioner of Police for Ogun State, Bode Ojajuni, announced the arrests on Thursday, June 25, 2026 at the command headquarters in Eleweran, Abeokuta, the state capital.
He says the arrests followed intelligence-led investigations, technical tracking of Oyesiku’s missing Lexus RX 330 SUV, and forensic analysis of a handwritten note recovered from the crime scene.
According to him, the incident was reported on June 21 after neighbours noticed suspicious activity at Oyesiku’s residence.
Commissioner Ojajuni says officers who responded to the report found Adetayo’s body in the security house and Oyesiku’s body in the living room.
He noted that the front door appeared to have been forced open, while the victim’s vehicle was missing.
Ojajuni says detectives recovered the stolen Lexus on June 22 in the Onikolobo area of Abeokuta.

Ojajuni says detectives recovered the stolen Lexus on June 22 in the Onikolobo area of Abeokuta.
However, one of the registration plates was found hidden under a seat, helping investigators confirm ownership.
The police commissioner identified the principal suspect as Sodeinde Olajuwon Philip, 22, who, according to him, was arrested on June 24 at a construction site in Ibara GRA, Abeokuta.
According to him, subsequent operations led to the arrest of Sakirudeen Abdulraheem Ayoola, 27, and Sobu Obafunsho, 36.
