Salome Adaidu: Police arraign murder suspect Timilehin Ajayi

The Nasarawa State Police Command has arraigned gospel singer, Timilehin Ajayi, in court for murder.

Ajayi was accused of dismembering his purported girlfriend, Salome Adaidu, when she visited him at his house in the Papalana axis at New Karshi in Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.

He arrived at the Nasarawa State High Court in Lafia, the Nasarawa State capital on Friday.

Prior to her gruesome murder, the 24-year-old victim was a member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), serving at Nicon Insurance in Abuja, the nation’s capital.

The suspect was brought to the headquarters of the Nasarawa State Police Command on Tuesday. He was paraded alongside the knife and machetes he used to commit the crime.

Ajayi was nabbed Sunday, January 12, while trying to dispose of the head of Salome after killing her and dismembering her body parts when she visited him at his house.

Meanwhile,Salome’s family had denied any knowledge of a relationship between her and the suspect.

Her elder sister, Esther Adaidu, had said, “This so-called Timi guy, we don’t know him. We have 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 that murdered my sister and he confirmed it to me.”
