The corps marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Shehu Mohammed, has commended the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) for its swift and coordinated investigative efforts that led to the recovery of dismembered human remains suspected to be those of a missing female FRSC officer, SRC OO Lasisi (PIN C-06239).
The remains were recovered by the Osun State Police Command from a river near Iwoye-Ijesa on Monday, November 17, 2025.
While expressing deep sorrow over the tragic development, the corps marshal also commiserated with the bereaved family and prayed earnestly for the safe return of their missing child.
FRSC spokesperson, Olusegun Ogungbemide, said in a statement that “the police had formally communicated the discovery of the dismembered body to the sector commander in the early hours of Tuesday, 18 November 2025. Consequently, the sector commander met with the commissioner of police to obtain a comprehensive briefing on the ongoing investigation.
“According to the police, extensive surveillance, phone tracking and coordinated intelligence operations led to the arrest of one herbalist in Iloko-Ijesa after he initially fled Iwoye-Ijesa. During interrogation, the suspect claimed that the deceased officer was allegedly lured, killed, dismembered, and her remains disposed of by one ‘Victor’ and other accomplices still at large.”
The Police further disclosed that the said Victor, who was reportedly in a relationship with the deceased FRSC officer, attempted to mislead investigators by abandoning his vehicle along the Gbongan–Ibadan expressway to give the false impression of a kidnapping.
The herbalist also alleged that Victor retrieved the missing child from his residence, but sadly, the girl was yet to be found.
The recovered remains have been deposited at the UNIOSUN Teaching Hospital mortuary, while the police have requested a post-mortem examination and DNA analysis to confirm identity.
Accordingly, the Corps has contacted the husband of the deceased, currently residing in the United States, to facilitate the forensic procedures.
Expressing profound grief over the development, the corps marshal stated: “This is a devastating and heartbreaking loss for the corps. We commend the Nigeria Police Force for their swift investigative efforts and extend our deepest condolences to the family of SRC OO Lasisi. We pray earnestly that the missing child is found safe and reunited with her loved ones.”
The Federal Road Safety Corps and the Nigeria Police Force, therefore, urged anyone with useful information to contact the Osun State Police Anti-Kidnapping Unit or the FRSC Osun Sector Command.
