By: Olufemi Orunsola
The Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun has confirmed that the Nigeria Police Force now has custody of a fleeing suspect linked to the gruesome murder of an FRSC Officer and her daughter, who was arrested in Ghana.
OPEN TELEVISION NAIJA (OTN) News reports as gathered that the Nigeria Police Force, through its INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB) in Abuja, has taken custody of Victor Benjamin Fejemirokun, the fugitive suspect wanted for the abduction and alleged murder of a Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) officer and her young daughter in Osun State.
The suspect was apprehended and handed over by the Ghana Police Service in Accra following a coordinated intelligence-led operation.
It would be recalled that Fejemirokun had fled Nigeria shortly after the brutal disappearance of FRSC officer Funmilayo Oluwamayokun Lasisi and her 16-year-old daughter, Sewa, who were last seen traveling to Osun State.
The murdered officer, a senior operational commander with the FRSC Ogun Sector, and her daughter were reportedly abducted on November 2, 2025. Investigations later revealed the victims were taken to a suspected herbalist’s compound in Osun, where they were allegedly murdered and mutilated.
The Ghana Police Service acted swiftly upon credible intelligence that Fejemirokun was hiding within their jurisdiction. He was arrested in Accra at a friend’s apartment, following the circulation of a viral video detailing his alleged involvement in the crimes. The Ghana Police immediately informed the Nigerian authorities, prompting a swift response from INTERPOL NCB Abuja, which facilitated the handover.
Meanwhile, the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, PhD., NPM, who praised the Ghanaian Police for their professionalism and close cooperation expressed condolences to the bereaved family, assuring them and Nigerians in general that the investigation into the murder case would be exhaustive and conclude with appropriate prosecution of all involved.
