Police declare two wanted over Ogun FRSC officer, daughter’s murder
The Osun State Police have issued a notice declaring two men wanted in connection with the murder of a Federal Road Safety Corps officer and her daughter.
The Osun State Police Command has officially declared two individuals, Faturoti Kehinde and Adumati Idowu, as wanted suspects in the murder case of Lasisi Funmilayo, a Federal Road Safety Corps officer, and her 10-year-old daughter, Sewa. The tragic case gained public attention when the mother and daughter were reported missing on November 2, 2025, after they had left their home in Abeokuta and failed to return, prompting a search by concerned family members. This incident reflects a broader issue of violence against women in Nigeria, often resulting in tragic outcomes.
In the aftermath of the disappearance, police investigations led to the arrest of Victor Fajemirokun, the boyfriend of the deceased, alongside two local herbalists, Gboyega Daramola and Sunday James, who were implicated in the crime. This arrest has drawn significant media coverage and public scrutiny, highlighting the deadly consequences of gender-based violence and the urgent need for effective law enforcement responses in such cases. The police's efforts to locate the two wanted men signify an ongoing commitment to resolving the case and bringing justice to the victims' families.
The issuance of wanted notices underscores the serious nature of the allegations and the police's intention to capture all parties involved. The names and physical descriptions of the suspects have been disseminated publicly, aiming to mobilize community awareness and cooperation in the search for justice. As investigations continue, the case serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities faced by women, particularly those in positions of authority, and the necessity for society to address these critical issues to prevent future tragedies.
