A High Court in Lafia, Nasarawa State, has sentenced gospel singer Timileyin Ajayi to death by hanging for the murder of Salome Adaidu, a member of the National Youth Service Corps.
Justice Simon Aboki found Ajayi guilty of culpable homicide, in violation of Section 221 of the Penal Code, after he confessed to killing Adaidu in a fit of rage and showed no remorse.

Ajayi was arrested earlier this year after he was found with the severed head of the victim in a polythene bag in a border area between Nasarawa and the FCT.
Although he claimed to have been in a relationship with the deceased for a year, her family denied any romantic connection with the convict.
