Ghanaian authorities have arrested Victor Benjamin Fajemirokun, the Nigerian man accused of orchestrating the brutal killing of FRSC officer SRC Lasisi Funmilayo and her young daughter in Osun State earlier in November.
Victor was tracked down after a viral video detailing his alleged crimes spread online. He fled Nigeria and was hiding in a friend’s apartment in Ghana before being captured. Arrangements are underway to return him to Nigeria.
How the Case Unfolded
On November 2, Mrs. Lasisi travelled to Osun State with Victor, whom police describe as her “friend.”
Investigators say they went to the home of a herbalist, where Victor and accomplices allegedly killed and dismembered the FRSC officer for ritual purposes.
Her daughter, who was playing outside, was later taken into the bush, killed, and mutilated.
Cover-up Attempt
After the killings, Victor:
Parked his vehicle along the Ikire expressway with keys inside,
Switched off his phone,
Tried to stage a fake kidnapping to mislead police.
Police traced his call records, which linked him to the herbalist.
Arrests and Confessions
An undercover operation led to the arrest of the first herbalist after a chase.
The suspect confessed Victor insisted on a ritual killing.
A second herbalist was arrested in Ekiti State.
Both suspects led police to the bush where the child’s remains were found.
Mrs. Lasisi’s dismembered body, without her head, was recovered in a river and taken to the Osun State Teaching Hospital.
Ongoing Investigation
Osun CP Ibrahim Gotan confirmed the arrests and recovery efforts.
FRSC leadership has expressed shock, and DNA/autopsy procedures are planned once all suspects, including Victor, are secured.
Police say they are committed to ensuring everyone connected to the crime faces justice.
