Timileyin Ajayi has revealed that he does not regret killing his girlfriend Salome Adaidu, because she cheated on him.
The incident occurred when Salome reportedly visited Timileyin’s residence in the Papalana axis of New Karshi, Karu Local Government Area, Nasarawa State.
Timi was nabbed while trying to dispose of the victim’s head on January 12 after killing her and dismembering her body parts.
He was paraded at the headquarters of the Nasarawa State Police Command on Tuesday alongside the knife and machetes he used to commit the crime.
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.”
Adaidu’s family denied any knowledge of a relationship between her and the suspect.
Her elder sister, Esther Adaidu, said, “This so-called Timi guy, we don’t know him. We have never seen him until we were called up to tell us that this guy murdered and dismembered our sister.
“I demand and need justice to be served to this guy sitting over there because he is the one that murdered my sister and he confirmed it to me.”
Her uncle, Samson Adaji Adaidu, who described the gruesome details of the crime, stated the position of the family.
“The position of the family is we discovered this through the Nigerian Police and we are expecting justice from the police,” he said.
He narrated the sad experience, saying, “He has succeeded in destroying our daughter, not ordinary killing, he butchered her into pieces. He cut that body into more than 50 pieces and when you look at the whole thing, he is preparing that body for consumption because he cut them and left them in about six polythene bags’
The Police Public Relations Officer of the Nasarawa State Command, SP Ramhan Nansel, assured all that justice will be served.
