Ogun Police Under Pressure as Pressure Group Demands Justice for Kitan Oyesiku

In a stirring appeal that underscores the growing public anxiety over security, the collective known as the Friends of Kitan Oyesiku has made a passionate, high-stakes demand for accountability following the brutal murder of the beloved former media personality.

ValidViewNetwork reports that the pressure is mounting heavily on the Ogun State Government and the Ogun State Police Command to deliver swift answers after the retired Ogun State Television (OGTV) broadcaster and her security guard were found dead under harrowing circumstances at her Abeokuta residence. In an official statement issued by the pressure group, representatives expressed profound heartbreak over a woman they described as “peaceful, kind-hearted, and compassionate,” whose sudden, violent end has sent shockwaves through Nigeria’s media community. ValidViewNetwork reports that local authorities are being explicitly urged by the victims’ loved ones to sustain their operational momentum and expand intelligence gathering so that the perpetrators do not evade the full weight of the law.

​In their public address, the group maintained a clear stance of appreciation for initial law enforcement steps while firmly insisting that the momentum must not stall. “We commend the Commissioner of Police, CP Bode Ojajuni, and officers of the Ogun State Police Command for the steps taken so far in the investigation,” the statement signed by Oluwaseun Boye noted, adding, “We appreciate their commitment and encourage them to sustain the momentum until every individual connected with this heinous crime is identified, arrested, and prosecuted in accordance with the law.” Observers note that while the police have recently made progress by recovering the victim’s stolen Lexus RX300 during a specialized night operation, the core culprits remain at large. This reality prompted the victim’s associates to issue a direct warning against bureaucratic complacency, stating, “We respectfully appeal to the Ogun State Government and all relevant authorities not to allow Kitan’s murder to be swept under the carpet.” According to civil society monitors, the visual presence of Commissioner Ojajuni at the Agodo village crime scene has offered some temporary reassurance, yet public trust rests entirely on a successful prosecution. The group finalized their appeal by calling on the local population to break their silence, asserting that “any credible information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, could be the breakthrough investigators need to ensure justice for Kitan,” a sentiment that reflects the community’s deep-seated yearning for closure.

​As state authorities face a critical test of their forensic and investigative capabilities, the ultimate resolution of this double homicide will heavily influence public perceptions of safety and judicial integrity across Ogun State, making it imperative that justice is not only done but is visibly seen to be done in a transparent manner, ValidViewNetwork reports.
