Sunday Ajayi, father of Oluwatimileyin Ajayi, a gospel singer and content creator accused of the tragic death of Corps member, Salome Eleojo Adaidu, has appealed to Nigerian government for his son’s release.

In an emotional interview on Monday, January 29, 2025, Sunday Ajayi pleaded for mercy, stating;

“I want the government to help me so that the matter will be settled. I want them to help me beg so that he will be released”.

The incident, which has sparked widespread outrage, occurred in Sunday, January 12, 2025, in Angwan Sarkin, Orozo, a community bordering the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Timileyin Ajayi was apprehended after being found in possession of sensitive evidence tied to the case, including a bag containing severed head of Salome Eleojo Adaidu.

Salome, the victim, with a promising future ahead of her was a serving Corps member in Abuja.

The suspect initially claimed she was his girlfriend and cited infidelity as the motive behind the act.

However, Salome’s family has refuted these claims, stating she had no relationship with the suspect.

Following his arrest, Timileyin Ajayi was arraigned in a Nasarawa State High Court and remanded in custody while investigations continue.

The case has ignited public debate over justice and accountability, with many demanding swift action to ensure the victim’s family rescues justice.

The father’s plead has shown mixed reactions, with some expressing sympathy for his position as a parent, while others insist that justice must be served without compromise.

Meanwhile, Nasarawa State Police Command has assured the public of a thorough and impartial investigation into the matter, while the case remains under investigation.
