A Nasarawa State High Court has ordered the remand of Timilehin Ajayi, a self-proclaimed gospel singer, after he was reportedly caught with the severed head of Salome Adaidu, a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member.
The confirmation came from the Nasarawa State Police Command through a statement released on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday. Ajayi is currently in prison custody awaiting formal arraignment after being charged in court.
Shocking Discovery and Arrest
The tragic incident came to light when Caleb Umaru, a Bible Study Teacher and General Secretary of the church where Ajayi worshipped, raised the alarm. Umaru reported that a fellow church member had seen Ajayi behaving suspiciously near a river. The member witnessed Ajayi dispose of a bag into the water, which was later retrieved and shockingly found to contain the severed head of Adaidu.
Confession and Denial
Upon his arrest, Ajayi confessed to the crime, alleging that he killed Adaidu after discovering she was unfaithful. However, the deceased’s family strongly denied these claims. They asserted that Adaidu was never romantically involved with Ajayi and suggested she might have been kidnapped, contrary to earlier reports of her visiting Ajayi.
Legal Proceedings
Ajayi has been charged in court and remanded in prison while awaiting further legal actions. The authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the case.
