A High Court in Lafia, presided over by Justice Simon Aboki, on Monday commenced hearing in the murder case against 32-year-old singer Oluwatimilehin Daniel Ajayi, who is accused of killing and dismembering a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member, Salome Adaidu.

Ajayi, who was brought to the court under heavy security from the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS), pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Nasarawa State Government Takes Over Prosecution

During the proceedings, the Attorney General of Nasarawa State, Hauwa Samuel Jugbo, officially took over the prosecution from the police.

Prosecution counsel Raymond Umar moved a motion to amend the defendant’s name from Timilehin Ajayi to his full name, Oluwatimilehin Daniel Ajayi. Justice Aboki granted the request after confirming the name from the accused.

Witnesses Testify

Three witnesses took the stand, including:

1. The Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Karshi Police Station

2. The deceased’s uncle, Mr. Adaidu Samson

During cross-examination, defense counsel Joseph Tuku Bisong asked whether forensic investigations had been conducted to confirm the victim’s identity.

Mr. Samson responded that he immediately recognized his niece’s severed head when it was retrieved from a polythene bag.

Adjournment for Further Hearing

Following the testimonies, Justice Aboki adjourned the case to Tuesday for further proceedings.

Ajayi, popularly known as Timilehin Ajayi, was arrested on February 12 for allegedly murdering and dismembering 24-year-old Salome Adaidu, a serving NYSC member.

Abeg hang the bastard

Still don't understand the waste of time.

Killing a murderer is permitted by the state!

Abeg no waste too much tax money on him!

Gospel singer isonu!

One native doctor from the abia told him to bring the head

Nigeria knows how to delay these things,same thing with reverend king,after so many years on death sentence ,he is still alive in kirikiri,

Ggggggggg

How I wish Nigeria maintained military justice, but na lie. All these politicians spoil everything. That Bastard would have been publicly executed since over one month

I don't understand why they're keep him alive if forensic evidence has proven he did the evil . This is how they kept Evans the kidnapper alive after he has rendered some family helpless by killing the bread winner, now he is alive claiming he has repented and other sorts of bullcrap talk, they're seeking for his pardon , someone that they should have sent to his grave . How about the family Evans destroyed , the family he left fatherless, family that he brought down from grace to grass?

I thought this guy was dead, wtf are they still waiting for

The truth is that guy must die too .

Yoruba and murder

Why is there so much drama with Nigeria court cases... This Guy already confessed, he was caught with the dismembered body of the victim..... Why so much interrogation giving him liver to saying Not guilty that another kind of trauma to the victim family

you really have not learnt anything about this country. Even Kabiru Sokoto that bombed a whole church and killed hundreds was allowed to escape. What about Rev. King?
Quietly lower your expectations to avoid shock.

Yeriba people carry thier skull mining go other region, please don't export ur human sacrifice lifestyle to the north, these are some of the reasons why we will definitely bring the shariah law to our Muslim brothers in the west, because with shariah law such evil will be averted, we will use the shariah law to negotiate 2027 Election and believe me it's a win win for everyone, Shariah has come to stay in the west

Capital punishment should be brought back to Nigeria. Murderers, ritualists, kidnappers all deserve nothing but death by firing squad and should be publicized to be as a deterrent to others.

Jungle justice would have put an end to this long ago

On a good day this shouldn't last more than 6 months... But if previous cases are anything to go by, it might drag on for years despite obvious evidence.
