While Nigerians are yet to recover from the gruesome murder of Salome Adaidu by gospel singer Timileyin Ajayi, her family has clarified that she was not in any kind of relationship with her killer.
Salome a 24-year-old National Youth Service Corps member was murdered in New Karshi, Nasarawa State last Sunday, by Ajayi who claimed she was his girlfriend, and they had a quarrel, which was why he killed her and dismembered her body. He was caught with her head by a vigilant church attendant.
“This so-called Timi guy, we don’t know him. We have never seen him until we were called and informed that this guy murdered and dismembered our sister,” said Adaidu’s elder sister, Esther Adaidu.
“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 Adaji Adaidu, gave a harrowing detail of how she was killed.
“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.”
