The Ogun State Police Command has launched an investigation into the murder of a woman and her security guard during a suspected armed robbery attack along the Abeokuta-Kobape Expressway.

Police sources said the incident was reported to the Owode Egba Division at about 1120 hours on June 21 by a resident, Asumowi Yekeen, of Iyana Agodo Village.

According to the report, the complainant stated that he received information earlier that morning from another resident, Joseph, who observed that the front door of the residence of Mrs. Olakitan Oyeshiku had been partially damaged.

He further reported that the security house within the compound was locked and the victim’s Lexus Jeep was missing from the premises.

Concerned by the development, the complainant and another co-landlord visited the residence, where they discovered the body of the security guard, whose identity had yet to be confirmed, inside the security post.

The deceased guard reportedly had multiple injuries believed to have been inflicted by the attackers.

Following the report, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) led a team of detectives to the scene for investigation.

Police operatives subsequently forced open the main entrance to the residence and discovered the body of Mrs. Oyeshiku lying in a pool of blood inside her apartment.

Preliminary findings indicated that the attackers fled with the victim’s Lexus Jeep after the incident.

Exhibits considered relevant to the investigation were recovered from the scene, while the bodies of the deceased were evacuated to the State Hospital Mortuary, Ijaiye, Abeokuta, for autopsy and preservation.

The police said efforts were ongoing to identify and apprehend those responsible for the killings and robbery, while investigations continue.
