Three suspects arrested in connection with the murder of a woman and her security guard in Ogun State have been remanded in a correctional facility by a Magistrate Court in Abeokuta.
The Ogun State Police Command said the suspects—Sodeinde Olajuwon Philip (22), Abduraheem Sakirudeen (27), and Sobur Obafunso (30)—were arraigned on Monday before Magistrate Court 3, Isabo, Abeokuta, over the killing of Madam Kitan Oyesiku and her security guard, Pelumi Adetayo.
The victims were allegedly murdered on June 20, 2026, at Agodo Village, Kobape, in Abeokuta.
According to the Police, the prosecution filed an ex parte motion seeking the remand of the defendants pending legal advice from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
The Magistrate granted the application and ordered that the three defendants be remanded in a correctional facility for 60 days.
The court subsequently adjourned the matter until September 7, 2026, for further proceedings after the issuance of legal advice by the DPP.
The Ogun State Police Command said the remand marks another step in its efforts to ensure justice for the victims, adding that investigations into the case are being diligently pursued in accordance with the law.
