Timileyin Ajayi has said he has no regrets about killing a 24-year-old corps member, Salome Adaidu, who visited his residence in the Papalana area of New Karshi, Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.

Ajayi, who identifies as a cryptocurrency trader, was arrested on Sunday, January 12, while trying to dispose of Adaidu's severed head after dismembering her body.

Following his arrest, the Nasarawa State Police Command paraded him alongside the knife and machetes he used in dismembering Adaidu's body.

In an interview with Channels Television, Ajayi revealed that killing Adaidu who was serving in Abuja at the time was not something he planned to do.

According to the 32-year-old who was beaten by a mob that found the severed head in his hand, the incident was spontaneous and out of jealousy.

“I killed her because we don’t have each other all the time, it’s not something I planned. It happened on that day and it happened. Not that I have the plan in mind, she was cheating.

"She hides most of the things from me most times. I got to know from her phone. I saw her chats with other guys on the phone, that was why I decided,” he said.

Further speaking, he said, "I don’t have any regrets because life is reciprocal that is what I thought. If you must do something to someone, you have to be reciprocal with that person.

"You have to understand what that person is going through so that you can actually put yourself in the position that the person is going through. That is why I don’t have any regrets because we were actually compatible.”

Meanwhile, Adaidu's family has stated that they did not know about any relationship between the deceased and Ajayi.

The deceased's elder sister, Esther Adaidu, said, “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 murdered and dismembered our sister.

“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.”

Her uncle, Samson Adaji Adaidu, said, "The family's position is that we discovered this through the Nigerian Police, and we are expecting justice from the police.

“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 all that justice will be served.

He said, “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.”
