OGUN POLICE COMMAND DEPLOY TACTICAL TEAMS ON SURVEILLANCE OPERATION IN AJEBO COMMUNITY
… assures residents of public safety

The Ogun State Police Command has reassured residents of Ajebo community in Obafemi-Owode Local Government that there is no imminent threat of attack in the area following a viral video circulating on social media that herdsmen are preparing to unleash violence on the host community.

The Commissioner of Police, Ogun State Command, CP Lanre Ogunlowo, deployed the Command’s tactical team, led by the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Operations) to assess security situation in the area, in conjunction with Amotekun Corps, So-Safe Corps, Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC), local hunters and Vigilante Group of Nigeria (VGN) to undertake thorough intelligence-led assessment in and around Ajebo community.

The operatives discovered the Fulani settlers in Ajebo are not hostile migrants but long-standing residents, living peacefully within the community. Children and women were seen in their temporary shelters but no arms or suspicious activities were detected. No adult male was present. The men had travelled to Oyo State for trading activities, which is consistent with their routine economic pattern. A further sweep of the settlement revealed an extended RUGA location that has reportedly been in existence for over ten years.

The Kabiyesi, Oba Rueben Oluwole, who is said to have authorized the allocation of land to the settlers, has been invited for clarification. Additionally, the Baale of Alapako, where another cluster of Fulani huts were identified, has also been invited for a meeting with the Commissioner of Police.

The combined team of security agencies is maintaining surveillance within the forest area, approximately 10km from the main community. Their presence is strictly precautionary, as the settlers were found to be unarmed and living peacefully.

The Ogun State Police Command reassures members of the public that proactive intelligence measures remain fully in place, and citizens are advised to remain calm, vigilant, and to avoid sharing unverified information capable of inciting fear.

One of the 38 CAC members who was rescued recounted how the bandits abducted them and described his experience in the bush where they were held captive.

HEARTBREAK IN OGUN: The Unbelievable Betrayal That Led to the Murder of FRSC Officer Funmilayo and Her Little Daughter

It is the kind of story that shakes a nation to its bones…
A story of trust, betrayal, and a darkness so unimaginable that even seasoned investigators struggled to hold back tears.

What began as a “missing person” case in Ogun State has now unfolded into one of the most heartbreaking and horrifying murder stories Nigeria has seen in recent years.

On the morning of November 2, 39-year-old Federal Road Safety Officer Lasisi Funmilayo stepped out of her home at Obasanjo Hilltop Estate in Abeokuta, holding the hand of her young daughter, Sewa.
They told neighbours they were going out briefly.
They never came back.

For days, their family waited… hoping, praying, pleading for a miracle.
But unknown to them, their worst nightmare had already happened.

THE BETRAYAL:
On Wednesday, the Osun State Police Command paraded three suspects — and the truth that spilled out was beyond heartbreaking.

Victor Fajemirokun, a man Funmilayo once trusted and loved, confessed to luring her and her daughter into the hands of herbalists in Osun State, where both were brutally murdered.

According to Victor, an alfa had deceived him into believing that Funmilayo was “using his glory,” and that he would never prosper as long as she lived.

This was the same woman who cared for him.
The same woman who welcomed him into her life.
The same woman whose little daughter innocently followed her mother on what would become their final journey.

THE LAST MOMENTS:
Victor recounted how he deceived Funmilayo into travelling from Ogun to Ijebu-Ijesa…
How herbalist Gboyega Daramola told them she needed “spiritual cleansing”…
And how three men dragged mother and child into the bush.

What happened next is too painful to imagine:

Funmilayo was kľįľed.

Her young daughter witnessed it — and was killed moments later.

Their bodies were mutilated.

Vital body parts were removed.

Even investigators described the scene as “something no human should ever have to see.”

THE HERBALISTS SPEAK: A Chilling Confession
One of the herbalists, Sunday James, admitted his role in the killing.
He said his boss ordered him to klľľį both mother and child — and threatened him if he refused.

James calmly narrated how they slit their throats in the bush.
How they dismembered Funmilayo’s body.
How they dumped the remains like animals.
For many listening, it was a confession too shocking to process.

Esa-Odo Dam, where Funmilayo’s mutilated remains were recovered.
Her head, breasts, hands, and private parts were missing.

A nearby bush, where the remains of her little daughter, Sewa, were found.
Her head, hands, and feet were gone.
Autopsies have begun at the Teaching Hospital morgue.

After the murders, Victor fled Nigeria.
He ran to Ghana, hoping to disappear.
But through collaboration with Interpol, he was arrested, repatriated, and immediately taken into custody.
Osun State Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Gotan, vowed that every single person involved in the killing of the mother and her daughter will face full justice.

He assured Nigerians that no one will escape the law, and the case will move swiftly to prosecution.

Funmilayo was a dedicated FRSC officer.
She was a mother.
She was a daughter.
She was a public servant who never imagined harm would come from someone she trusted.

Her child was innocent.
She deserved a future.
She deserved to grow up.

This is not just a crime story.
It is a lesson, a warning, and a heartbreaking reminder of the evil that sometimes hides behind familiar faces.
