He urged anyone who sights or knows the whereabouts of the suspects to contact the nearest police station.

Ojelabi warned that anyone harbouring the suspects would be treated by the police as an accomplice to the crime.

Police said one of the suspects, an herbalist, on November 17, 2025, led detectives to Esa-Odo Dam in Obokun Local Government Area of Osun State, where the remains of the FRSC officer and her daughter were dumped.

Police also said some vital body parts, including the head, breasts, hands, and private parts, were missing from the victims’ remains.

The victims were said to have been lured from Ogun State to Osun State, where they were murdered by the suspects.
