Abuja, Nigeria – January 15, 2025
Timileyin Ajayi, a gospel singer based in Abuja, has confessed to the gruesome murder of his girlfriend, Miss Eleojo Adaidu, a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member. In a shocking taped confession obtained by the police, Timileyin admitted to killing Eleojo after accusing her of cheating.
In the confession, Timileyin said, “I confronted her, but she first denied it. Then I showed her evidence from her phone. When she began to apologize, I decided to punish her. I took a knife and slit her throat.”
Police sources confirmed that Timileyin was apprehended while attempting to dispose of her remains in a polythene bag. The arrest followed suspicions raised by a commercial motorcyclist who noticed blood dripping from the bag.
During the interrogation, Timileyin reportedly expressed no remorse, stating, “I don’t regret slaughtering her. She betrayed me.”
The victim, Miss Eleojo, was a 24-year-old recent graduate of Kogi State University who was completing her mandatory national service in Abuja. Friends and family described her as a kind and ambitious young woman whose life was tragically cut short.
The Nasarawa State Police Command has confirmed that a murder charge will be filed against Timileyin. Speaking on the case, DSP Josephine Adeh said, “This is a premeditated crime, and the suspect will face the full wrath of the law. We have sufficient evidence to prosecute.”
Public Outrage
The confession has sparked widespread outrage and debates about domestic violence and mental health. Many have taken to social media to condemn the act and demand justice for Eleojo.
Advocacy groups have renewed calls for better measures to address gender-based violence in Nigeria. A spokesperson for Women Advocates for Violence Eradication (WAVE) stated, “This tragic incident highlights the urgent need for stronger policies to protect women and address toxic relationships.”
Family Demands Justice
In an emotional statement, Eleojo’s family expressed heartbreak over the incident and demanded swift justice. “She was a light in our lives, and he extinguished that light in the most brutal way. We need justice for our daughter,” a family member said.
Timileyin remains in police custody and is expected to be arraigned in court soon. If convicted, he faces the death penalty or life imprisonment under Nigerian law.
The case has left the nation in shock, raising concerns about the growing prevalence of violent crimes and the need for preventive measures to protect vulnerable individuals.
