A Nasarawa State-based gospel singer, Timileyin Ajayi, confessed to the Police why and how he killed his girlfriend -Salome Enejo Adaidu, on Sunday morning of January 12, 2025.
Salome, aged 24, was a National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, member serving with Nicon Insurance in Abuja. She had visited her boyfriend- Ajayi, at his Papalana axis, New Karshi in Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.
Ajayi, in a confessional statement, told the Police that while they were together, they had a dispute over her phone.
Ajayi claimed that Salome attacked him with a knife and injured his hand, and in retaliation, he stabbed her in the neck, severed her head, and butchered her into pieces.
That morning, Ajayi was caught by the members of a Church with Salome’s severed head concealed in a blood-dripping polythene bag.
When asked why he was carrying the head, Ajayi alleged that “a woman” instructed him to bring it for her.
According to the church’s Bible Study Teacher and General Secretary, Caleb Umaru, police officers took Ajayi and the decapitated head away.
‘She was cheating, I don’t regret killing her’ – Timileyin Ajayi
Timileyin Ajayi, aged 32, who was caught with the severed head of Salome Adaidu, has said he does not regret having killed her, as she was cheating on him with other men.
He told Channels TV: “I killed her because we don’t have each other all the time. It’s not something I planned.
It happened on that day and it happened. Not that I have a plan in mind.
“She was cheating. She hides most of the things from me most of the time.
I got to know from her phone. I saw her chats with other guys on the phone, that was why I decided.
“I don’t have any regrets because life is reciprocal that is what I thought. If you must do something to someone, you have to be reciprocal with that person.
“You have to understand what that person is going through so that you can put yourself in the position that the person is going through.
That is why I don’t have any regrets because we were compatible.”
We don’t know him – Salome’s family
However, Salome’s elder sister, Esther Adaidu, denied that any relationship existed between her deceased sister and the suspect, as she pleaded for justice.
She said: “This so-called Timi guy, we don’t know him. We had never seen him until we were called up to tell us that this guy murdered and dismembered our sister.
“I demand and need justice to be served to this guy sitting over there because he is the one who murdered my sister, and he confirmed it to me.”
Salome’s uncle, Samson Adaidu, spoke for the family: “The position of the family is we discovered this through the Nigerian Police and we are expecting justice from the police.
“He has succeeded in destroying our daughter. Not ordinary killing, he butchered her into pieces. He cut that body into more than 50 pieces.
“And when you look at the whole thing, he is preparing that body for consumption because he cut them and left them in about six polythene bags.”
There’ll be justice – Police
Police have promised justice in the matter. The Police Public Relations Officer of the Nasarawa State Command, SP Ramhan Nansel, said: “Investigation is ongoing, and upon conclusion, he will be arraigned in court for prosecution.
I want to assure the family and members of the public that this suspect will not be spared if found wanting.
“We are calling on members of the public, who may have any complaints against the suspect, to come forward with their complaints, and it will be looked into and investigated.”
