The mobile phone of a former staff member of Ogun State Television (OGTV), Ms. Kitan Oyesiku, popularly known as "Aunty Kitan," was allegedly used by suspected killers to solicit money from her friends and associates after she was reportedly murdered at her residence in the Kobape area of Abeokuta, Ogun State.
According to sources, the tragic incident is believed to have occurred between Friday night and Saturday morning. However, on Saturday, several of the deceased's contacts reportedly received messages from her phone requesting urgent financial assistance, raising suspicions that the perpetrators had taken possession of her device after the attack.
One of the recipients, Engr. Awolana, reportedly received a message requesting ₦300,000, with the sender claiming that Ms. Oyesiku's vehicle had broken down on the Third Mainland Bridge and that the money was needed for repairs.
The development has heightened concerns surrounding the circumstances of her death, with many believing the messages were sent in an attempt to defraud her friends and acquaintances after the suspected homicide.
Ms. Oyesiku, fondly called "Aunty Kitan," was a respected media practitioner who served with Ogun State Television before her retirement. News of her death has thrown colleagues, family members and friends into mourning.
The motive behind the killing remains unclear, while security agencies are expected to intensify investigations to identify those responsible and determine the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
As of the time of filing this report, no official statement had been issued by the police. More details are expected to emerge as investigations continue.
