Confirming the incident, the command’s spokesman, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, said detectives were immediately dispatched to the scene.
He said: “Police detectives were immediately deployed to the scene, where preliminary assessment revealed signs of forced entry and disturbance.
“During a thorough search of the premises, the corpse of the security guard was discovered within the security post, while the body of Ms. Oyesiku was later found inside her apartment.
“The victim’s vehicle was also observed missing from the premises.”
Ordering a comprehensive probe into the killings, Police Commissioner Bode Ojajuni vowed that justice would be served.
