The Nasarawa State Police Command has arrested a gospel singer, Timilehin Ajayi, for allegedly killing and dismembering his 24-year-old girlfriend, Salome Enejo, a member of the National Youth Service Corps, for suspected ritual purposes.<\/p>\n

The command\u2019s spokesperson, Ramhan Nansel, told newsmen in an exclusive interview that Enejo was a corps member serving in Abuja before the suspect brutally murdered her.<\/p>\n

The suspect, Ajayi, was apprehended by churchgoers on Sunday in Orozo, a community bordering the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, and Nasarawa State after he was found carrying a polybag containing the severed head of Enejo.<\/p>\n

In an interview on Monday, the church\u2019s Bible Study Teacher and General Secretary, Caleb Umaru, explained that a member had noticed Ajayi acting suspiciously near a river.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

He claimed that the said member alerted others when Ajayi threw a bag into the river, which was later retrieved and found to contain his girlfriend\u2019s severed head.<\/p>\n

Umaru said, \u201cIt was just before the end of the service, around 11 a.m., during the final pledge and prayers. A church member, Brother Victor, opened his eyes during the prayers and noticed someone walking suspiciously by the river near the church, carrying a bag. His movements caught Victor\u2019s attention, prompting him to call over Brother Amos to take notice as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he saw them, he threw a black nylon bag into the river, and when they enquired from him what he threw into the river, he said nothing. After many questions that he didn\u2019t answer, they left him and returned but didn\u2019t go into the church.\u201d<\/p>\n

Umaru disclosed that the suspect attempted to flee the scene after he was repeatedly asked to open the bag before he was chased down and apprehended in a farm area and before he was handed over to the police, who arrived at the scene just in time.<\/p>\n

\n

We <\/em>learnt from Umaru that a motorcyclist who had transported Ajayi with the sack enlisted help to confront him. According to Umaru, the four men approached Ajayi and ordered him to retrieve the bag he had thrown into the river.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Meanwhile, during a telephone interview with a journalist, Nansel said the suspect was rescued from being mobbed by the vengeful crowd who caught him with the severed head.<\/p>\n

He added that further investigation uncovered the rest of the mutilated body inside the suspect\u2019s apartment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suspect was found with a fresh human head, and when we got to the scene, we rescued him from being mobbed by the ones who accosted him.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the investigation at his place of residence, we found two sacks filled with the victim\u2019s dismembered body. The victim has been identified as 24-year-old Salome Enejo; her parents have been contacted and have identified her. She is a National Youth Service Corps member, serving in Abuja.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suspect is currently receiving medical treatment at a hospital; he was injured when we rescued him. A thorough investigation has commenced,\u201d Nansel added<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
