Timileyin Ajayi, a 32-year-old gospel singer, says he does not regret killing his lover, Salome Eleojo Adaidu.
Ajayi is now being imprisoned at the Nasarawa Police Command’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Lafia.
He was arrested for the murder of his purported lover, Adaidu, a 24-year-old National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member who works at Nicon Insurance in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
Salome was claimed to have been murdered while visiting the suspect at his home on the Papalana axis in New Karshi, Karu Local Government Area, Nasarawa State.
Ajayi was paraded at the headquarters of the Nasarawa State Police Command on Tuesday alongside the knife and machetes he used to commit the crime.
Timi was nabbed while trying to dispose of the victim’s head on January 12 after killing her and dismembering her body parts.
Timileyin confessed to the crime while answering questions in an exclusive interview from Channels Television.
“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,” he said.
“She hides most of the things from me most of the time. I got to know from her phone. I saw her chats with other guys on the phone, that was why I decided,” he said.
Asked if he regrets his action, he added, “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.”
