The sister of Salome Adaidu, a young woman recently killed and dismembered, has shared shocking details about the crime, implicating TikTok user Timileyin Ajayi, who allegedly carried out the act with chilling precision.
Speaking on Human Rights Radio’s Brekete Family, the sister expressed doubt that the suspect acted alone.
“He cut her into pieces. He did a clean cut. He didn’t cut her for the neck to show, he cut off her head neatly and left out the neck,” she said. “It is only a professional that can do that kind of cut, and as huge as my sister, it is not only one person that did the operation.”
She recounted the gruesome discovery made when she and police operatives raided Ajayi’s residence. The suspect, who presents himself as a gospel artist on TikTok, allegedly washed Salome’s dismembered body parts in separate buckets and placed them on a bench in his room.
Naija News reports that Ajayi reportedly confessed to killing and dismembering his lover, claiming it was due to infidelity, but Salome’s family denies ever knowing him before the incident.
Eyewitness Account of the Interception
The sister narrated how the suspect was apprehended. According to a motorcyclist who transported Ajayi, he noticed blood seeping from the nylon bag Ajayi was carrying but remained silent until they reached a public area.
“He said he raised the alarm about his suspicion, and other motorcyclists surrounded him asking him what was in the nylon. The suspect said he was carrying cow meat and that he had just purchased it from the abattoir,” she explained.
When the suspect hesitated to open the nylon, bystanders forcibly opened it and found Salome’s head inside.
The suspect was beaten by the crowd before police intervened. Authorities later discovered the victim’s other body parts meticulously arranged in his home.
Gruesome Details of the Crime Scene
The sister described Ajayi’s residence as eerily clean despite the horrific acts committed there. Blood was visible only in faint footprints leading from the toilet, where the murder allegedly took place.
“He did a clean butcher work. You will see how he washed the meat inside the rubbers,” she said.
She also noted the presence of knives, a cutlass, and buckets filled with water in the house. Tomatoes were scattered in the room, raising suspicion that he eats human flesh
“Also, there was no indomie or food in that house,” the sister revealed, countering the suspect’s claim to have prepared noodles for the victim before killing her.
She added, “The only thing in that house when we entered was the marijuana that he smoked. He had knives, a cutlass and a table he used. He had a mobbing bucket. He put water inside and in three other buckets.
“He washed my sister’s other body parts clean and kept them like he was going to be distributing them bit by bit. He thought that he was going to return after leaving with her head.”
