Wednesday, January 15, 2025 - Esther Adaidu, the elder sister of Salome Eleojo Adaidu, a 24-year-old former member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) who was gruesomely murd3red by a singer, Timileyin Ajayi, in Nasarawa state last weekend, has denied knowledge of any relationship between her deceased sister and the suspect as she pleads for justice.
Ajayi
had claimed that he was in a romantic relationship with Salome for a year and
that he k!lled her because she cheated on him.
However,
speaking to Channels TV, Salome's sister, Esther said she had not met Ajayi
before the sad incident of her sister's death.
“This
so-called Timi guy, we don’t know him. We had never seen him until we were
called up to tell us that this guy m#rdered and dismembered our sister. I
demand and need justice to be served to this guy sitting over there because he
is the one that m#rdered my sister and he confirmed it to me.” she said
Salome’s
uncle, Samson Adaji Adaidu stated the position of the family.
“The
position of the family is we discovered this through the Nigerian Police and we
are expecting justice from the police,” he said.
He also
narrated the sad experience, saying;
“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.’'
The
Police Public Relations Officer of the Nasarawa State Command, SP Ramhan Nansel
assured that justice will be served.
“Investigation
is ongoing, and upon conclusion of the investigation, he will be arraigned in
court for prosecution. I want to assure the family and members of the public
that this suspect will not be spared if found wanting. He will be charged to
court for prosecution. We are calling on members of the public who may have any
complaints against the suspect to come forward with their complaints and it
will be looked into and investigated.” he said
With
insinuations about Timileyin’s profession as a gospel singer, Nansel said
the suspect is a cryptocurrency trader.
The suspect has been remanded in custody at the Nasarawa State Police Command’s Criminal Investigation Department pending further investigation.
