No regret killing Salome, says Gospel singer Timileyin Ajayi

 

Timileyin Ajayi, the Gospel singer caught with the severed head of Salome Adaidu, says he does not regret killing her because she was cheating on him with other men.

Ajayi, 32, has been remanded in the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Nasarawa Police Command in Lafia.

Salome, 24, was doing her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) with NICON Insurance in Abuja before she was murdered on January 12.

“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 the plan in mind,” he told Channels Television.

“She was cheating. She hides most of the things from me most times. 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 actually put yourself in the position that the person is going through. That is why I don’t have any regrets because we were actually compatible.”

Salome’s elder sister Esther Adaidu denied knowledge of a relationship between the deceased and the suspect, and demanded justice.

“This so-called Timi guy, we don’t know him,” she stressed. “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.”

Salome’s uncle Samson Adaidu added that “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.”

Police promises justice

Salome reportedly visited Ajayi at his residence in the Papalana axis, New Karshi in Karu Council of Nasarawa where she was allegedly killed.

Nasarawa Police Command Public Relations Officer Ramhan Nansel disclosed that “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.”
