Osun court remands 3 suspects linked to murder of FRSC officer and her daughter

Monday, January 19, 2026 - An Osun State Magistrate’s Court sitting in Osogbo has remanded three suspects arrested in connection with the m8rder of an officer of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Ogun State Command, Lasisi Oluwamayokun, and her daughter, Adesewa, at the Ilesa Correctional Centre until February 6.

The suspects, Gboyega Daramola, 39; Sunday James, 38; and Fajemirokun Victor, 36, were arraigned before the presiding magistrate, O. A. Daramola, on Friday in suit number MoS/M-53/2026.

They were brought before the court by the Osun State Commissioner of Police, who filed a motion ex parte seeking an order to remand the defendants pending legal advice from the Ministry of Justice.

In an affidavit in support of the motion, deposed to by the Investigating Police Officer, Inspector Babawale Taiwo, and obtained by punch in Osogbo on Sunday, the applicant urged the court to remand the defendants while awaiting advice from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution

Providing details of the alleged offences in the affidavit dated January 16, 2026, the IPO stated that on November 10, 2025, Oluwafemi Fajemirokun and Mariam Fajemirokun of No. 34, Akande Street, Alekuwodo, Osogbo, reported at the Ikoyi Police Divisional Headquarters that their younger brother, Victor Fajemirokun Emmanuel, 40, had gone missing after leaving Osogbo on November 2, 2025, for prayer activities at Ikoyi Prayer Mountain.

The affidavit further stated that during the investigation, it was discovered that Lasisi Funmilayo Oluwamayokun, 39, and her daughter, Lasisi Sewa, 10, both from Abeokuta, Ogun State, also went missing on the same date.

“Further investigation revealed that Victor Fajemirokun murdered the victims for ritual purposes. The respondents gruesomely murdered the victim and her daughter and dismembered their bodies. Victor Fajemirokun was identified as the mastermind of the crime,” the affidavit stated.

The deponent cited the Administration of Criminal Justice Law of Osun State, 2018, noting that a court order was required to remand the suspects in a correctional centre pending the outcome of legal advice from the Director of Public Prosecution.

In her ruling, Magistrate Daramola ordered that “the defendants be remanded at the Ilesa Correctional Centre until February 6, 2026.”

The burial service of Oluwamayokun and her daughter, Adesewa, was held on Friday at St. John’s Anglican Church Cemetery, Ita-Olookan, Osogbo.

Oluwamayokun, 38, and her daughter went missing on Sunday, November 2, 2025, after leaving their residence at Obasanjo Hilltop Estate, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.

They were later confirmed d3ad after allegedly being lured by a man-friend of the deceased, Victor Fajemirokun, who was subsequently arrested.

Fajemirokun reportedly admitted to luring the victims to their d3aths at the hands of ritualists in Osun State when he was paraded by the police alongside two herbalists, Gboyega Daramola and Sunday James, at the Osun State Police Command headquarters in Osogbo.
