Solemn mood gripped the burial ground of St John’s Anglican Church, Ita-Olookan, Oshogbo, Osun state on Friday as Lasisi Funmilayo Oluwamayokun, a senior officer of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), and her daughter Sewa Lasisi were laid to rest amid deep sorrow and grief from family, colleagues, and well-wishers. 

The 38-year-old FRSC officer and her daughter had been reported missing on Sunday, November 2, 2025, after leaving their home in Obasanjo Hilltop Estate, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, Ogun State. Their disappearance sparked widespread concern and a police search. 

Subsequent investigations revealed the tragic end to their disappearance. The Osun State Police Command, working with intelligence and phone tracking, traced the victims to a location in Osun where their bodies were recovered in a suspected ritual killing case. Reports describe mutilated remains found in a suspected herbalist’s den and nearby bush areas. 

A major development in the case was the arrest of Victor Fajemirokun, the boyfriend of the deceased officer, along with two suspected herbalists, Gboyega Daramola and Sunday James, who were paraded before journalists at the police headquarters in Osogbo. 

During police interrogation, Fajemirokun reportedly admitted to luring the mother and daughter from Ogun State to Osun under the pretext of spiritual cleansing after being influenced by a cleric’s claim that his misfortunes were due to the officer’s “spiritual manipulations.” Authorities are treating the alleged murder as a ritual-related killing and have initiated further investigations.

At Friday’s burial service in Osogbo, relatives and colleagues could barely contain their emotions as the remains were lowered to rest, highlighting the profound sense of loss felt across the community
