The Nigeria Police Force has taken custody of Victor Benjamin Fajemirokun, the 36-year-old suspect accused of abducting and murdering Federal Road Safety Corps officer Lasisi Funmilayo and her daughter Sewa in separate incidents in Ogun and Osun states.
Fajemirokun was arrested in Ghana on Sunday after fleeing Nigeria, with his capture triggered by a widely circulated video linking him to the crimes.
On Monday, NPF spokesman Benjamin Hundeyin confirmed the successful extradition in a statement:
“The Nigeria Police Force, through the INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB) Abuja, has taken full custody of fugitive suspect Victor Benjamin Fejemirokun.”
The operation involved close collaboration between Ghanaian authorities and Interpol NCB Abuja, which sent a team to Accra to complete the handover.
Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun extended condolences to the victims’ family and vowed a thorough investigation, stating that the suspect will be arraigned as soon as the probe is concluded.
Egbetokun praised the Ghana Police Service for its swift cooperation and professionalism in securing the arrest and extradition.
