A 39-year-old senior officer of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Funmilayo Oluwamayokun Lasisi, and her teenage daughter, Sewa Lasisi, who were reported missing in Ogun State, have been found dead in Osun State in what is suspected to be a ritual killing. Their mutilated remains were discovered at the residence of a suspected herbalist.
The mother and daughter had been reported missing on the morning of Sunday, November 2, after leaving their home at Obasanjo Hilltop Estate, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta. Efforts by family members and colleagues to contact them were unsuccessful. Oluwamayokun, a Superintendent Route Commander, is a senior operational officer in the FRSC, responsible for overseeing multiple routes and coordinating strategic enforcement operations.
A family source, shared by Facebook user Ayomideji Solanke, revealed that the remains were recovered from the home of a traditional healer in an undisclosed community in Osun State over the weekend. “The mystery surrounding the disappearance of the Federal Road Safety Corps officer, SRC Lasisi Funmilayo Oluwamayokun, and her young daughter, Sewa, has taken a tragic turn as their remains were reportedly discovered in the home of a suspected herbalist in Osun State,” Solanke wrote. The source added that the herbalist remains at large, while his wife has been arrested.
Confirming the development on Tuesday, November 18, Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Lanre Ogunlowo, stated that the Osun State Police Command has made arrests in connection with the incident. Exhibits recovered at the scene, believed to include body parts of the officer and her daughter, are currently under investigation.
