Osun Police Declare Two Men Wanted for Murder of FRSC Officer and Daughter
The Osun State Police Command has officially declared two individuals, Faturoti Kehinde and Adumati Idowu, as wanted persons for their alleged involvement in the brutal murder of a Federal Road Safety Corps officer, Lasisi Funmilayo, and her young daughter, Sewa. This announcement follows a disturbing case that has shocked the local community and raised serious concerns about public safety.
Details of the Tragic Incident
Lasisi Funmilayo, aged 38, and her 10-year-old daughter, Sewa, were reported missing on the morning of Sunday, November 2, 2025. They had left their residence at the Obasanjo Hilltop Estate in Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, and never returned, sparking immediate alarm among family and authorities. The search for the missing pair led to a grim discovery when their mutilated body parts were found at a suspected herbalist's den located in Osu. This gruesome find has led investigators to suspect that the murders were part of a ritual killing, adding a layer of horror to the already tragic case.
Previous Arrests and Ongoing Investigation
In the initial phases of the investigation, police arrested Victor Fajemirokun, who was identified as the boyfriend of the deceased FRSC officer. Additionally, two herbalists, Gboyega Daramola and Sunday James, were taken into custody in connection with the crime. These arrests provided some leads, but the investigation has now expanded to include the two newly declared wanted suspects, indicating that the police believe multiple individuals may have been involved in this heinous act.
Police Notice and Suspect Descriptions
On Friday, March 13, 2026, the spokesperson for the Osun State Police Command, Abiodun Ojelabi, issued a detailed notice from Osogbo, calling for public assistance in locating the wanted men. The notice provides specific personal features to aid in identification:
- Faturoti Kehinde (also known as Fagorite): Approximately 36 years old, dark in complexion, with white teeth, standing 1.7 meters tall. He has a pointed nose, an oblong head, black hair, and is identified as Yoruba by tribe.

The police statement explicitly links both men to the murder case, stating they are wanted for their roles in the deaths of Mrs. Lasisi Funmilayo Oluwamayokun and her daughter, Lasisi Sewa. Authorities have emphasized that anyone harboring the suspects will be treated as an accomplice to the crime, while those providing useful information leading to their arrest will be handsomely rewarded.
Community Impact and Call for Vigilance
This case has deeply affected the local community, highlighting issues of security and the need for vigilance against violent crimes. The involvement of a federal officer and a child has particularly resonated, prompting calls for swift justice. The Osun State Police Command is urging residents to remain alert and report any sightings or information related to Faturoti Kehinde and Adumati Idowu immediately. The ongoing investigation continues to unfold as authorities work to bring all perpetrators to justice and provide closure for the grieving family.
