Shocking Twist: Timileyin Ajayi Pleads Not Guilty To Killing Girlfriend, Salome Adaidu

Timileyin Ajayi, a 32-year-old man, has pleaded not guilty to the murder of his girlfriend, Salome Adaidu.

Ajayi was arraigned on Monday at the High Court of Justice in Lafia, Nasarawa State, where he was charged with one count of culpable homicide, an offense punishable by death under Section 221 of the Penal Code of Northern Nigeria.

Appearing before Justice Simon Aboki, the defendant denied the charge.

In a disturbing statement, Ajayi expressed no regret over killing his alleged girlfriend, Salome Adaidu.

Ajayi was arrested for the murder of 24-year-old Adaidu, a member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), who was serving at Nicon Insurance in Abuja. The murder occurred when Adaidu visited Ajayi at his home in the Papalana area of New Karshi, Nasarawa State.

Ajayi was caught on January 12, attempting to dispose of Adaidu’s head after allegedly dismembering her body. He later told Channels Television that he did not initially plan to kill her but acted out of frustration due to their lack of time together.
