The suspects — Gboyega Daramola, 39; Sunday James, 38; and Victor Fajemirokun, 36 — were arraigned before an Osun State Magistrates’ Court presided over by O. A. Daramola, on Friday in suit number MoS/M-53/2026.
They were brought before the court by the Osun State Commissioner of Police, who filed a motion ex parte seeking an order to remand the defendants pending legal advice from the Ministry of Justice.
In an affidavit in support of the motion, deposed to by the Investigating Police Officer, Inspector Babawale Taiwo, the applicant urged the court to remand the defendants while awaiting advice from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution.
In the affidavit dated January 16, 2026, the IPO stated that on November 10, 2025, Oluwafemi Fajemirokun and Mariam Fajemirokun of No. 34, Akande Street, Alekuwodo, Osogbo, reported at the Ikoyi Police Divisional Headquarters that their younger brother, Victor Fajemirokun Emmanuel, 40, had gone missing after leaving Osogbo on November 2, 2025, for prayer activities at Ikoyi Prayer Mountain.
Police Investigation
The affidavit further revealed that during the investigation, it was discovered that Lasisi Funmilayo Oluwamayokun, 39, and her daughter, Lasisi Sewa, 10, both from Abeokuta, Ogun State, also went missing on the same date.
“Further investigation revealed that Victor Fajemirokun murdered the victims for ritual purposes.

“The respondents gruesomely murdered the victim and her daughter and dismembered their bodies.
“Victor Fajemirokun was identified as the mastermind of the crime,” the IPO stated.
The deponent cited the Administration of Criminal Justice Law of Osun State, 2018, noting that a court order was required to remand the suspects in a correctional centre pending the outcome of legal advice from the Director of Public Prosecution.
In her ruling, Magistrate Daramola ordered that “the defendants be remanded at the Ilesa Correctional Centre until February 6, 2026”.
Oluwamayokun, 38, and her daughter went missing on Sunday, November 2, 2025, after leaving their residence at Obasanjo Hilltop Estate, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.
They were later confirmed dead after allegedly being lured by a man-friend of the deceased, Fajemirokun, who was subsequently arrested.
Fajemirokun reportedly admitted to luring the victims to their deaths at the hands of ritualists in Osun State when he was paraded by the police alongside two herbalists, Daramola and James, at the Osun State Police Command headquarters in Osogbo.
