The Eastern South Regional Police Command of the Ghana Police Service has arrested a man linked to the killing of FRSC officer Lasisi Funmilayo Oluwamayokun and her daughter, Sewa Lasisi, in Nigeria.
The suspect, Victor Benjamin Fejemirokum, was arrested on Sunday, November 23, after police intelligence revealed he had fled Nigeria and was hiding at a friend’s home in Akyem Wenchi, near Akwatia.
Regional Commander George Ohene-Boadi said officers immediately launched an intelligence-led operation and captured the suspect at the location.
According to the police commander:
“The suspect was wanted by the Nigerian Police for the killing of a woman and her daughter in Abeokuta, Ogun State. He ran to Ghana to hide, but we received credible information about his whereabouts and moved in to arrest him.”
The Ghana Police Service said arrangements are underway to repatriate the suspect to Nigeria to face prosecution.
