An Osun State Magistrate’s Court sitting in Osogbo has ordered the remand of three suspects over the killing of a Federal Road Safety Corps officer, Lasisi Oluwamayokun, and her 10-year-old daughter, Adesewa.
The suspects, Gboyega Daramola (39), Sunday James (38) and Fajemirokun Victor (36), were arraigned on Friday before Magistrate O.A. Daramola and remanded at the Ilesa Correctional Centre until February 6, 2026.
They were brought before the court following a motion filed by the Osun State Commissioner of Police, seeking an order to remand them pending legal advice from the Ministry of Justice.
In an affidavit sworn to by the Investigating Police Officer, Inspector Babawale Taiwo, the police requested the remand to allow time for advice from the Director of Public Prosecution. The affidavit detailed that a report was made on November 10, 2025, concerning the disappearance of Victor Fajemirokun Emmanuel after he left Osogbo for prayer activities at Ikoyi Prayer Mountain.
Investigations later revealed that Oluwamayokun, an officer with the FRSC Ogun State Command, and her daughter also went missing on the same date after travelling from Abeokuta.
According to police findings, the victims were allegedly murdered for ritual purposes. Their bodies were said to have been gruesomely mutilated, with Victor Fajemirokun identified as the mastermind behind the crime.

The burial service for Oluwamayokun and her daughter was held on Friday at St. John’s Anglican Church Cemetery in Osogbo. The victims were reported missing on November 2, 2025, after leaving their residence in Abeokuta.
Police said the deceased was allegedly lured by a man believed to be her friend, Victor Fajemirokun, who later confessed to handing them over to ritualists. He was arrested alongside two suspected herbalists during a police parade in Osogbo.
