Salome Adaidu, the lady allegedly murdered by a gospel singer identified as Timileyin Ajayi, has been laid to rest.

 

Ajayi was arrested in Nasarawa after he was allegedly caught with the severed head of his girlfriend Adaidu in a polythene bag.

 

The incident occurred on Sunday in Agwan Sarki, Orozo, near the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

 

The suspect’s arrest was facilitated by an intelligence tip-off, leading security agents to an uncompleted building in the area.

 

During interrogation, Ajayi, who also poses as a motivational speaker on TikTok, confessed to the crime.

 

In a now-viral video, he revealed that he had dated Adaidu for one year before her death. In his defense, he claimed they engaged in a heated fight, and she tried to stab him with a knife.

 

Ajayi, who released his album ‘God of the Earth’ in 2020, also revealed that the rest of the victim’s body was at his residence.

 

A now-viral video showed a group of men laying Adaidu’s remains to rest on Monday night. Some persons were also heard weeping in the background of the footage.


There is an ongoing investigation into Adaidu’s murder with authorities working to piece together the events surrounding her death.
