The boyfriend of the late Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) officer, Lasisi Funmilayo, has confessed to luring her and her daughter, Sewa Lasisi, to their deaths in the hands of suspected ritual killers in Osun State.
The suspect, Victor Fajemirokun, 40, was paraded on Wednesday at the Osun State Police Command headquarters in Osogbo alongside two herbalists: Gboyega Daramola and Sunday James alleged to have carried out the killings.
Funmilayo, 39, and her daughter were declared missing in Ogun State on November 2 after leaving their residence at Obasanjo Hilltop Estate, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.
Their mutilated bodies were later found in separate locations in Osun State, with vital organs harvested, in what police describe as a ritual murder.
Speaking with journalists, Fajemirokun, an Osogbo-based businessman, claimed he was manipulated by an Islamic cleric who allegedly told him that Funmilayo was “using his glory” and was responsible for his misfortunes.
He said he invited the deceased from Ogun State to Ijebu-Jesa, Osun State, under the guise of undergoing spiritual cleansing.
“I met one Gboyega Daramola on TikTok… He told me Funmilayo was the one causing misfortune for me and asked me to bring her,” he said.
“We went with her to Ijebu-Ijesa. He told her she needed to perform some rituals and instructed three men to take her to the bush. It was in the bush that she was killed. Her daughter followed us there.
“After killing them, I ran to a mountain in Ikoyi. I didn’t know their organs were harvested until I saw it in the news.”
Fajemirokun said he lied to his wife in Osogbo that he was going for prayers, and insisted he acted under “hypnosis.”
One of the herbalists, Sunday James, admitted taking part in the killing.
“When I got to my boss’s house, I met Victor, the woman and the girl. My boss told me Victor wanted his wife and child killed because a cleric said the woman had used his glory.
“My boss ordered me to kill them. We took them to the bush, slit their throats and butchered the woman,” he confessed.
Daramola, the alleged mastermind, however claimed that Fajemirokun instructed the killing, but denied being present during the act.
Osun State Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Gotan, said Fajemirokun had initially been reported missing on November 2 after he claimed to have gone to a mountain in Ikoyi for prayers.
He said: “Through intelligence-led investigation, on November 16, 2025, we arrested Gboyega Daramola, an herbalist. He confessed that Fajemirokun brought a woman and her daughter for money rituals and that they had been killed. He also named Sunday James, Kehinde, and Idowu as the killers.”
Daramola later led detectives to Esa-Odo Dam, where the dismembered body of Funmilayo was recovered and deposited at the UNIOSUN Teaching Hospital morgue. Her head, breasts, two hands, private parts, and other vital organs were missing.
Subsequent intelligence led to the arrest of Sunday James in Ekiti State on November 20.
During interrogation, he confessed to slaughtering both victims under Daramola’s instruction, while Kehinde and Idowu allegedly butchered the remains.
James later led detectives to the bush where the body of the daughter, Sewa, was recovered also missing her head, hands, and feet.
Fajemirokun, who had fled, was tracked to Ghana in collaboration with Interpol and was repatriated to Nigeria to face investigation.
CP Gotan said efforts were ongoing to arrest other members of the gang still at large, adding that all suspects would be charged upon completion of the investigation.
