The tragic incident occurred in the early hours of Sunday, sending shockwaves through the media community and residents of the state. Mrs. Oyesiku, a retired broadcaster widely respected in Ogun’s media circles, was reportedly found dead alongside her security guard after suspected assailants attacked the residence.
