The Ogun State Police Command has recovered the vehicle belonging to slain broadcaster Kitan Oyesiku, days after it was reported missing following the killing of the veteran media personality and her security guard at her residence in Ogun State.

Police authorities disclosed that the Lexus RX300 was recovered during a night operation and has been secured as a key exhibit in the ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding the deaths. The vehicle had earlier been declared missing after security operatives discovered the bodies of Oyesiku and her security guard at her home in Iyana Agodo Village, Owode-Egba area of the state.

Confirming the development, the Ogun State Police Command said the recovery of the vehicle represents a significant breakthrough in efforts to unravel the circumstances surrounding the incident and identify those responsible.

“The vehicle earlier reported missing from the residence, a Lexus RX300, has been recovered by police operatives during the night hours,” the command stated.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, Bode Ojajuni, visited the scene of the incident on Tuesday as part of ongoing efforts to assess the progress of investigations and obtain firsthand briefings from detectives handling the case.

According to the police, the visit formed part of a broader strategy to intensify investigative efforts and ensure that all individuals connected to the killings are identified and brought to justice.

“The visit forms part of ongoing efforts by the Ogun State Police Command to unravel the mystery surrounding the tragic deaths and intensify investigations into the disturbing incident,” the police said.

During the assessment, Ojajuni inspected the premises and received updates from investigators working on the case. He reaffirmed the command’s commitment to conducting a thorough investigation and ensuring that the perpetrators face prosecution.
