A video shared by AIT on Tuesday showed gospel singer Timilehin Ajayi praying with his eyes closed during a recent court session in the case involving the tragic death of his 24-year-old girlfriend, Salome Adaidu.
Ajayi was arrested in January after members of a church in Orozo, near the Federal Capital Territory and Nasarawa State, allegedly found him with a polybag containing Adaidu’s severed head. Authorities later recovered the rest of her dismembered body from his apartment.
The victim was reportedly killed during a visit to Ajayi’s home in Papalana, New Karshi, Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.
After his arrest, Ajayi reportedly confessed to the crime, citing jealousy as his motive and admitting he felt no remorse for his actions.
