Major news outlets have reported that Salome Eleojo Adaidu, the young lady beheaded in Abuja, was in a relationship with her killer, Oluwatimileyin Ajayi, a gospel artist from Kabba, Kogi State. However, her family has refuted this claim, stating that she was not his girlfriend. According to them, Salome mistakenly boarded the wrong keke and was abducted by Timileyin and his accomplices, leading to her gruesome murder.
Salome, an Igala lady who graduated in 2023 from the Department of Library and Information Sciences at Kogi State University, Anyigba, was laid to rest yesterday.
The perpetrator, Timileyin Ajayi, has since been arrested and is currently in detention.
