Trial Delayed for Suspects in FRSC Officer's Murder Case
The arraignment of three suspects connected to the alleged murder of Funmilayo Lasisi, a Federal Road Safety Corps officer from the Ogun State Command, and her daughter Adesewa, was postponed on October 12, 2026, at the Osun State High Court in Osogbo due to the absence of defense counsel. The suspects, Fajemirokun Victor, Gboyega Daramola, and Sunday James, had previously been arraigned in an Osogbo Chief Magistrates’ Court.
On this occasion, the Nigerian Correctional Service officials brought them before Justice Yinka Aderibigbe, but the trial could not commence as no lawyer appeared for the defense. Muyiwa Ogunleye, an Assistant Director at the Osun State Ministry of Justice, represented the prosecution and noted that the defendants had not yet received copies of the court documents.
The case was adjourned to December 8, 2026, for the defendants to enter their pleas, with the prosecution planning to present eight witnesses, including four police officers.
