A 39-year-old senior officer of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Funmilayo Oluwamayokun Lasisi, and her daughter, Sewa Lasisi, who were recently declared missing in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital have been found dead with mutilations of their body parts at a suspected herbalist’s den in Osun, in what the Police suspect to be another tragic case of ritual killing.
OPEN TELEVISION NAIJA (OTN) News reports as gathered that the discovery was made over the last weekend.
It would be recalled that OTN News had earlier reported that 39-year-old Lasisi and her teenage daughter were reported missing on the morning of Sunday, November 2, after they left their residence at the Obasanjo Hilltop Estate, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, and have since failed to return.
Oluwamayokun, a Superintendent Route Commander, is a fourth-level senior operational officer in the FRSC hierarchy, responsible for overseeing multiple routes and coordinating strategic enforcement operations.
Frantic efforts were made by the Ogun State Police Command to trace their destination while efforts by family members and colleagues to reach the officer and her daughter on their mobile phones proved abortive.

He added that while the wife of the herbalist has been arrested, the herbalist has since been on the run.
The Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Lanre Ogunlowo, who also confirmed the incident on Tuesday, disclosed that the Osun State Command has arrested some suspects in connection with the incident.
According to Ogunlowo, the Osun command also discovered some exhibits at the scene, which were suspected to be body parts of the missing officer and her daughter.
