Timileyin Ajayi, a 32-year-old man, has stated that he does not regret killing his girlfriend, Salome Eleojo Adaidu.
Ajayi is currently being held at the Nasarawa Police Command’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Lafia.
He was arrested for the murder of Adaidu, a 24-year-old member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) serving at Nicon Insurance in Abuja.
Salome was reportedly murdered when she visited Ajayi at his house in the Papalana area of New Karshi in Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.
Ajayi was paraded at the headquarters of the Nasarawa State Police Command on Tuesday, along with the knife and machetes he used to commit the crime. He was apprehended while attempting to dispose of the victim’s head on January 12 after killing her and dismembering her body.
In an exclusive interview with Channels Television, Timileyin confessed to the crime, stating, “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 had the plan in mind; she was cheating.”
He added, “She hides most 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.”
When asked if he regrets his actions, he said, “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.”
