According to reports obtained by PUNCH Online, the incident occurred on January 28 in Alago Meji Street, Isara-Remo, Ogun State, where the police suspect that the perpetrators strangled Olarewaju.
State Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, exclusively informed PUNCH Online that after allegedly committing the crime, the suspects stole Olarewaju’s motorcycle and fled the scene.
Further details revealed that the suspects were apprehended while attempting to escape the town with the stolen motorcycle. They were intercepted by a member of the local vigilante group.
A farmer named Sekinah Awosanya, who reported the incident, disclosed to the police that she had brought the suspects from Osun State to work on her farm in the community.
Odutola explained, “At approximately 11:53 pm, a member of the local vigilante intercepted them while they were fleeing town on Olarewaju’s motorcycle. When their explanation was deemed unsatisfactory, they falsely claimed they were heading to their employer’s house, Awosanya’s residence.”
“However, upon arrival, as the security personnel was about to dismount from his motorcycle, both Victor and Danjuma abandoned Olarewaju’s motorcycle and fled,” Odutola added.
Despite efforts to locate the suspects, they remained at large. Awosanya led security personnel to the house where the suspects had been staying, where Olarewaju’s body was discovered.
The victim was found with his hands and legs bound behind him, indicating that he had been strangled by the suspects.
Odutola confirmed that Awosanya was detained for questioning, and the victim’s body was deposited at the Isara General Hospital Morgue for autopsy. The investigation is ongoing, and the case will be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department upon completion.
Although the motive behind the murder remains unclear, attacks on commercial motorcycle riders in Remo communities have been recurrent, with one notable incident occurring in 2023 when operatives of the Amotekun Corps rescued a motorcycle rider named Mohammed Bashiru from a suspected robber in Ode-Remo.

A former security guard, 22-year-old Sodeinde Olajuwon Phillips, has confessed to his involvement in the murder of Olakitan Ibiyola Oyesiku, a retired Ogun State broadcaster widely known as Aunty Kitan. The 67-year-old Oyesiku, who had retired from Ogun State Television, was killed along with her current security guard, Pelumi Adetayo, at her residence in Agodo village, Kobape, Abeokuta.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The investigation into the deaths was spearheaded by the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Bode Ojajuni, who revealed that a crucial handwritten note found at the scene played a pivotal role in leading detectives to the suspects.
“We met her lying, facing upward to the sky, and we saw a paper, a note on her chest, and we equally found the same paper differently spread on the table in the living room,” Ojajuni stated. He further explained, “We discovered that the one that was met on her chest, the handwriting was totally different from the others that were spread.”
The use of intelligence gathering and technical tracking enabled the police to recover the deceased’s Lexus RX 330 and subsequently arrest three suspects. They were identified as Olajuwon (the former employee), 27-year-old Sakirudeen Abdulraheem Ayoola, and 36-year-old Sobu Obafunsho.
A Tragic Motive: Money for Rent and Perceived Unfair Pay Upon questioning, Olajuwon provided a detailed and disturbing account of why the attack was orchestrated. He explained that a primary motive was the need for money to secure new housing for himself and Ayoola.
“My name is Sodeinde Olajuwon Phillips, and I am 22 years old. Myself, Shakirudeen and Sobu participated in the robbery and killing,” he confessed. He further elaborated, “We did it because she did not pay us well when we worked for her.”
Describing the robbery, Olajuwon recounted: “Shakirudeen and I needed more money to rent an apartment. So, we wore masks, forced the security guard to ring the bell, and after gaining entry, the security guard was taken back to his post.”
Following the attack, the group stole Oyesiku’s vehicle. Olajuwon detailed their escape, saying, “We left with her vehicle. Shakirudeen drove the car while we left together. We collected it from her before she died and drove to Onikolobo. I alighted under the bridge and went straight home, while Shakirudeen drove away with the vehicle.”
The stolen Lexus RX 330 was later recovered by the police in proximity to Olajuwon’s residence. The investigators found that the vehicle’s license plates had been removed and concealed under one of the seats.
