Sources disclosed that controversy arose after the deceased’s body was allegedly moved from the hotel to a mortuary in neighbouring Ikare-Akoko before a formal medical certification of death was obtained.

The development reportedly raised questions about whether proper procedures were followed after the cleric’s death was discovered.

Family members, unsettled by the circumstances, are said to have petitioned law enforcement authorities, prompting a full-scale investigation into the incident.

Detectives are currently working to determine the exact cause of death and reconstruct the events leading to the tragedy, including identifying those who were with the deceased before he was found dead.

As part of the ongoing investigation, three persons have reportedly been taken into custody and are assisting the police with inquiries.

When contacted by Daily Trust, the spokesperson of the Ondo State Police Command, DSP Jimoh Abayomi, said the matter is under active investigation.

According to him, detectives are examining all aspects of the case to establish whether any foul play was involved.

He assured that anyone found culpable in connection with the incident would be prosecuted in accordance with the law.

Despite the widespread circulation of the quote, no official clarification or verified primary source directly linked to Oyedepo has been publicly established.

As a result, the claim remains unverified, with available evidence showing that the statement was attributed to the bishop but not conclusively authenticated through primary material.

Worried by her absence, some church members reportedly visited her residence, only to discover the lifeless bodies of the 67-year-old woman and her security guard.

Sources said the attackers forcefully gained entry into the compound before carrying out the deadly attack. The body of the security guard was reportedly found inside his duty post, while Mrs Oyesiku was found dead inside her apartment.

Her personal vehicle was also said to be missing from the residence, suggesting that the assailants may have fled with the car after the attack.

The Ogun State Police Command has confirmed the incident and recovered the bodies, which have since been deposited at a mortuary.

The Commissioner of Police in the state has reportedly ordered a massive manhunt for those responsible for the killings.

Mrs Oyesiku, fondly known as “Aunty Kitan”, was a respected broadcaster and Senior Programme Producer during her years at Ogun State Television before her retirement.

Her death has thrown the broadcasting community and residents of the area into mourning, with many describing the incident as shocking and heartbreaking.

Police authorities say investigations are ongoing.
