Victor Fajemirokun, the friend of the late officer of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Lasisi Funmilayo, has explained why he lured her and her 12-year-old daughter, Sewa, to their d3ath in the hands of some herbalists in Osun State.
Fajemirokun,40, who was arrested in Ghana, was paraded alongside two herbalists, Gboyega Daramola and Sunday James, at the headquarters of the Osun State Police Command in Osogbo on Wednesday, December 3, 2025.
The 39-year-old senior FRSC officer, Funmilayo, and her daughter, were declared missing on Sunday, November 2, after they left their residence at the Obasanjo Hilltop Estate, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, Ogun State and never returned.
The mutilated bodies of mother and daughter were found at a suspected herbalist’s den in Osun, in what is suspected to be a ritual k!lling.
Responding to questions from journalists, the Osogbo-based businessman said he lured the deceased from Ogun to Ijebu-Jesa in Osun State because a Muslim cleric said that Funmilayo, relying on spiritual manipulations, had used his glory.
According to him, the cleric claimed that, as long as Funmilayo was alive, he would not be successful.
Fajemirokun, who said he told his wife in Osogbo that he was going for prayer in Ikoyi, Osun State, admitted inviting Funmilayo from Ogun to Osun because he needed to perform some spiritual cleansing to free himself from the spiritual grip of the deceased.
“I met one Gboyega Daramola on TikTok. The agreement between Funmilayo and me was to go and meet him for spiritual cleansing. So when this man (Gboyega) did a spiritual consultation for me, he said Fumilayo was the one causing misfortune for me. So, he asked me to come with her,” he said.
“I went there with Funmilayo to his place at Ijebu-Ijesa. The man told Funmilayo that she had to do some rituals and instructed three men to take her to the bush to perform the rituals. It was in the bush that we k!lled her. The daughter went to the bush with us.
“After k!lling them, I ran to a mountain in Ikoyi. It was from there that I went to Ibadan. It was as if I was hypnotised. I never really wanted to do that. So, when we got there, I knew that they were going to kill her. I never knew they harvested their organs. I only heard that on the news, and that was when I decided to come back home.”
Stating the role he played in the incident, one of the two herbalists arrested in connection with the crime, James, said he met the two deceased on November 2, in the house of his boss, Daramola.
“I went to my boss’s house, where I met Victor, a woman, and a young girl. My boss (Daramola) told me that Victor had gone to an alfa before, where he was told that his woman friend had used his glory. So, he was there for them to k!ll his wife and his child,” James said.
“So, my boss ordered me to k!ll them and threatened me. We took them to a bush where we used a knife to slit their throats. After that, we cut the woman into pieces.”
Daramola, who allegedly gave the order for the k!lling, however, told Punch that it was Fajemirokun who instructed them to k!ll the deceased, but denied being present when the crime was perpetrated.
Stating the facts of the case, Osun Police Command CP, Gotan, said Fajemirokun was reported missing on November 2 in Ikoyi, where he had gone to a mountain for prayers.
“Subsequently, through intelligence-led investigation and painstaking analysis, on the 16th November, 2025, one Gboyega Daramola ‘m’ a.k.a. ‘Aberefa’ was arrested and confirmed to be an herbalist,” the CP stated.
“During his interrogation, he emphatically confessed that one Fajemirokun Victor ‘m’ was one of his customers, that on the 2nd November, 2025, a woman and her daughter were brought to him by Fajemirokun Victor ‘m’ for a money ritual, and the subject had been killed. He further mentioned one Sunday James ‘m’, one Kehinde, and one Idowu to be part of the killers.
“Furthermore, on Monday, 17th November, 2025, the suspect Gboyega Daramola ‘m’ a.k.a. “Aberefa” led the detectives to Esa-Odo Dam, Osun State, where the body of one Lasisi Funmilayo Oluwamayokun ‘f’ 38yrs was dumped, who happens to be a senior officer of the Federal Road Safety Corp (FRSC) serving in Ogun State.
“Thereafter, it was recovered and deposited at UNIOSUN Teaching Hospital Morgue for autopsy. Meanwhile, some vital parts of the body, such as the head, breast, two hands, private parts, and others were missing.”
In the course of the investigation, on November 20 further credible intelligence led to the arrest of one of the principal suspects mentioned by the herbalist, one Sunday James, in Ekiti State, where he was hiding.
“During interrogation, he confessed to being the one who slaughtered both mother and her daughter on the instruction of his boss, herbalist, Gboyega Daramola a.k.a. Aberefa’ while the duo of Kehinde and Idowu were the ones who butchered the body.
“However, the suspect, Sunday James, led the detectives to recover the body of the daughter, Sewa Lasisi, from the bush where she was k!lled. Likewise, some vital parts of the body, such as the head, the two hands, and the feet were missing. The remains were also deposited at UNIOSUN Teaching Hospital Morgue
“However, it was gathered that Fajemirokun Victor, who masterminded the k!lling, had absconded from being arrested. Through the collaboration with Interpol, Victor Fajemirokun was apprehended in Ghana and repatriated to Nigeria,” Gotan further said.Nigerian Beauty Products
Assuring that perpetrators of the crime would be taken to court after investigation had been concluded, the CP said efforts would be intensified to arrest others involved in the crime who have not been arrested.
A mob in Rappolemba, Indonesia, took law into its own hands by beating a man to de@th, hacking off his genitals, and dragging his body through the streets as punishment after accusing him of r@ping a disabled woman.
According to Mail Online, Ali, 47, was hunted by furious locals for allegedly r@ping and ass@ulting the woman in Gowa, Indonesia, on November 30.
The victim, identified only as T, was found battered and in a state of shock, sparking anger within the community.
Ali fled to a relative’s house before slipping into a nearby forest to escape the villagers’ wrath, according to local media. But he was caught on December 3, when he emerged from the woods to look for food.
Passersby immediately recognised the suspect and lynched him. The attack was caught on camera.
The vigilantes were said to have ‘chopped up’ his genitals before parading his limp body in the community.
Senior Adjunct Commissioner Muhammad Aldy Sulaeman, Gowa Police Chief, said police rushed to Rappolemba Village to control the mob.
He said: ‘We can confirm that several videos have circulated regarding an alleged assault against an individual.
Regarding this matter, we have coordinated with the Tompobulu Police. Based on the reports we received, the situation at the location is now under control.
‘We don’t want to underestimate the situation, and we are making checks and increasing security measures to keep the situation under control.
‘The initial information we received indicates that the person concerned was suspected of rape. However, we will continue to investigate this matter to determine the exact chronology of events.
‘The personnel involved include the Gowa Police’s medical team for the post-mortem examination, the Samapta Unit, the Criminal Investigation Unit, the Intelligence Unit, and the Community Policing Unit, accompanied by the local police chief. We have also coordinated with the South Sulawesi Regional Police Department.’
Locals claimed Ali had long been a menace, accusing him of being a repeat thief who had previously served prison time and was just recently released.

A medical doctor has been arrested by operatives of the Department of State Services for allegedly transporting medical supplies from Sokoto State to suspected kidnapping gangs operating in Kwara State.
The Kwara State Government disclosed the arrest in a statement posted on its official Facebook page on Friday.
The suspect was reportedly intercepted in Jebba, Moro Local Government Area, following intelligence linking him to a syndicate responsible for delivering medical items to armed groups across the region.
The statement read, “The Department of State Service has taken into custody a medical doctor who was ferrying drugs from Sokoto to kidnappers in parts of Kwara State.
“The doctor was intercepted in the Jebba area following intelligence reports about the activities of the kidnappers and their couriers. The secret service says the criminal gangs appear desperate for medical care following gunshot wounds sustained in encounters with security forces.”
Security sources told City Round that the arrest forms part of an intensified operation aimed at disrupting the logistics networks sustaining kidnapping cells in the North-Central zone.
One of the sources said kidnapping gangs have recently increased efforts to secure medical treatment—particularly for gunshot wounds sustained during clashes with security operatives—forcing security agencies to heighten surveillance around the movement of medical supplies.
Kwara, previously seen as one of the calmer states in the North-Central region, has witnessed a rise in insecurity in recent months, with incidents recorded in Kaiama, Baruten, Ekiti and parts of Moro LGAs.
Border communities have been particularly vulnerable due to their closeness to expansive forests serving as hideouts for criminal gangs.
