Ajayi, who was apprehended in Nasarawa, was reportedly found in possession of Adaidu’s severed head in a polythene bag. The grim discovery occurred on Sunday in Agwan Sarki, Orozo, located near the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
His arrest came after an intelligence tip-off led security agents to an uncompleted building, where Ajayi was found. During questioning, the 2020 gospel album artist, who also presents motivational content on TikTok, confessed to the murder.
