Suspects arrested in connection with the brutal murder of Federal Road Safety Commission officer Lasisi Funmilayo and her 12-year-old daughter have revealed chilling details of how the victims were killed.
Among those detained are her male acquaintance, Fajemirokun Victor, 38; herbalist Gboyega Aberefa, 39; and his disciple, Sunday James, 38.
The suspects disclosed that the mother and daughter were dismembered, with their heads and several organs removed.
Osun State Police Commissioner, Ibrahim Gotan, told journalists at the command headquarters on Wednesday that the investigation began after Fajemirokun’s wife reported her husband missing.
His vehicle was later found abandoned on a road leading to Ikoyi.
Gotan added that the anti-kidnapping unit’s probe led to the herbalist’s arrest on November 16.
During interrogation, Aberefa revealed that Fajemirokun had visited him on November 2, 2025, bringing the victims for a money ritual.
He said that the killings were carried out by his associates Sunday James, Kehinde, and Idowu, the latter two still at large.
Fajemirokun admitted that he brought the deceased to the herbalist because he believed she was the cause of his misfortunes.
“After taken her to the temple and I was told she has to be killed for me to make it in life, I agreed to her being killed but after the act I was disturbed and ran away. I went back to Ikoyi and dropped my vehicle on the road side.
“I went to Ibadan and lied to some people that some persons were after my life, so, they contributed money for me and advised that I ran out of the country, hence, I moved to Ghana,” he said.
Meanwhile, Aberefa corroborated that Fajemirokun insisted on the killings.
“He brought the woman and the daughter to my place and claimed that she was behind his misery, demanding that we killed them. Infact he wanted to kill her inside my house but I said no.
“Thereafter, I invited some boys around who took her into the bush, slaughter the mother and daughter. Remove some vital parts and dumped the mother’s body in river in Esa-Odo and that of the daughter in a bush in the area,” he added.
