A horrific tragedy has left the community of Agwan Sarki, located near the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Nigeria, in shock and disbelief. On Sunday, January 13, 2025, Timileyin Ajayi, a church singer and TikTok motivational speaker, was arrested for allegedly beheading his partner, Salome Adaidu.
The alarm was raised by a bicyclist who noticed blood dripping from a polythene bag that Ajayi was carrying. Upon being alerted, the police quickly arrived at the scene, preventing an angry mob from taking matters into their own hands. After a brief investigation, authorities discovered the severed head of Salome Adaidu inside the bag. Further searches led them to Ajayi’s home, where the rest of her dismembered body was found.
During police questioning, Ajayi confessed to the crime. In a shocking video that has since gone viral, he explained that the murder occurred after an argument with Salome. According to Ajayi, she had allegedly attempted to stab him during the altercation, which led to his violent response.
Ajayi, who previously released an album titled God of the Earth in 2020, is currently in police custody as authorities continue their investigation into this tragic and brutal crime.
