A Nasarawa High Court sitting has sentenced Abuja-based gospel singer, Timileyin Ajayi, to death by hanging over murder of his girlfriend, Salome Adaidu.
NPO Reported that the Ajayi was in January caught with Adaidu’s severed head in Abuja.
The gospel singer confessed to killing her because she was cheating.
He alleged to have caught her sex chatting with other guys which she hides from him most times.
It was also discovered that Ajayi gruesomely dismembered Adaidu’s body which were later found.
Speaking in an interview following his arrest, the gospel singer expressed that he felt no regret for killing the lady.
Ajayi bagged the death sentence at the resumption of the hearing of his case on Thursday.
The presiding judge, Justice Simon Aboki, found him guilty of murdering and dismembering Adaidu.
Moments before his sentencing which was captured in a video shared on X, the convict maintained his usual indifference and composure.
Cladded in a lemon green armless prison uniform, Ajayi stood motionless in the dock as legal counsels and court observers engaged in conversation ahead of his sentencing.
