Murdered NYSC Member’s Family Denies Relationship with Suspect

Murdered NYSC Member’s Family Denies Relationship with Suspect-OXYGIST

The family of 24-year-old National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member Salome Adaidu, who was brutally murdered in Nasarawa State, has denied any connection between her and Timileyin Ajayi, the man accused of her gruesome killing.


Salome, who was serving in Abuja, met her tragic end during a visit to Ajayi’s residence in Papalana, New Karshi, Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State. Her elder sister, Esther Adaidu, dismissed reports suggesting a relationship between the deceased and the suspect.


“We don’t know this so-called Timi. We had never seen or heard of him until we were informed that he murdered and dismembered my sister. I demand justice for her because he confessed to the crime,” Esther said, her voice filled with anguish.


The horrifying details of the crime were disclosed by the victim’s uncle, Samson Adaidu. “This man didn’t just kill her; he butchered her into over 50 pieces and packed the remains into six polythene bags, seemingly preparing them for consumption. It’s beyond comprehension,” he revealed.


Ajayi was arrested on Sunday, January 12, while attempting to dispose of Salome’s severed head. The Nasarawa State Police Command paraded him along with the weapons allegedly used in the crime, including knives and machetes.


Ajayi, who appeared injured from a mob attack prior to his arrest, admitted to the killing in an interview with Channels Television. He claimed his actions were unplanned and fueled by jealousy.


“I killed her because we couldn’t be together all the time. It wasn’t premeditated. On that day, I found chats with other men on her phone, and it drove me to act,” he confessed.


When asked if he felt remorse, Ajayi’s response was chilling:


“I don’t regret it because life is reciprocal. You have to understand what someone is going through and put yourself in their position. That’s why I don’t have regrets. We were compatible.”



The Nasarawa State Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Ramhan Nansel, assured the public that the suspect would face justice. 


“Our investigation is ongoing. Once concluded, the suspect will be arraigned in court. If found guilty, he will not be spared. We urge anyone with additional complaints or information to come forward,” Nansel stated.


Contrary to some media reports describing Ajayi as a gospel singer, he identified himself during the interview as a cryptocurrency trader.
